Abusing hard or unreachable places
With the new sniper buffs a problem starts to occur almost every game now.. Sniper buffs where a must and should stay! the guns sucked before. BUT: People picking pathfinder just get on real hard ...

Your absolutely right.
you can reach them all with the balloon.
and im also 100% sure you never used iT to counter a team on one of Those places with it.
because using a balloon when landing takes you About 1 second to get your wep. And then because of a bug you always have to do a reload animation with both your guns before you can shoot after using a balloon.
imagine not beïng able to shoot for 2 seconds point blanc vs a Squad that had a semi decent shot.
i rather take my chances with the zipline up there At least i can shoot while going in a sure death.
and its not About being reachable.
its About being abused....
I've been in a lot of similar situations and it was just more challenging because of the high ground advantage but at the same time there would always be a way to deal with it.
Positioning is really important in this game and rotating early to any place in the zone with the best advantage is always a double edged sword, as you will be rewarded with the strongest foot stand but at the same time you will make yourself a target for all remaining team as they know the value of your position and will be prioritizing taking you down so you might get double teamed in most situations.
We've challenged a lot of people with such high ground and sometimes the other teams focus on us instead of them and we still managed to take them all down and in a lot of times we would lose ...
It never seemed unfair or anything, sometimes we get unlucky sometimes we make a poor choice sometimes we deal with it just right or we become the ones that are lucky.
Forcing players to way more limited options is just not a solution ... you can count on wraith, pathfinder and octane to overcome such situations more aggressively and easier. A Gibraltar could force them all down or make sure you got the cover needed for those seconds before being able to shoot. Same goes for Bangalore. Depending on each situation there always can be a way to deal with it. Complaining about the pathfinder made no sense for me even you now wrote that his ultimate might be better. If the issue for you is this legend then all that I showed you is that such ground is reachable anyway and now they only create one more way to reach up that they should worry about which is actually better than not having that option. If the problem is abusing high ground then I also tried to explain that it is totally normal to take advantage of high ground and being late to get puts more pressure but doesn't mean the end of the world and there tons of ways to overcome it. It just takes time to get used to it and maybe because I play a lot I couldn't sense the issue here.
