@AnlbrdWell, Pathfinder has a small hitbox by volume.
Gibraltar and Caustic are at a disadvantage and has been since the beginning of the game!
The reason you are resistant, is because you are accustom to Gibraltar and Caustic being bad.
Gibraltar is more than twice the size and volume of Wraith.
His body armor needs to be justified!
Also shooting at a pathfinder is like shooting at a skeleton.
@hhnbbfggty66I'll try to remain objective here:
Show me how you know pathfinder's hitbox is small by volume?
The reason I'm resistant to this idea is because it will NEVER be balanced. There is absolutely no observable metric other than "Players like Gibraltar more/less" or "players whine about Pathfinder more/less" that can be used to know if this balancing act has actually worked.
In your example : put a Pathfinder(or any other low armor legend) against a Gibraltar - You have to hit the guy half as many times again as he has to hit you, AFTER you burn his shield down...
If any player out there needs that kind of advantage against another player, they aren't the audience that the game should be balanced around.
If they normalised the character sizes : this kind of arcane guesswork wouldn't even need to happen. Your weapons would do the damage they do on everyone, and your chances of hitting people would come more or less down to how well you aimed.
This doing more/less damage to individual characters is just crazy in a competitive FPS.
At this point I wish they'd just give us the grey/red crash test dummy models from the Training level so this issue can just go away. I don't care what the characters look like - I care about how the game plays. Absolutely NO ONE has moved over to Apex from another game saying "Yeah man.. I was on the edge but Apex's art style swung it for me. The fact that characters are different sizes and therefor fundamentally imbalanced slightly is a price worth paying for fluff".

@AnlbrdToo many paragraphs bro
Nuff said- 6 years ago
@hhnbbfggty66If you can't do paragraphs, you're the one with the issue mate :D
[edit] Also lol @ you totally ignoring the request for some kind of evidence about the Path hitbox volume... Why should we have to provide any kind of backing for wild statements.
- 6 years ago@Anlbrd It has been adjusted, It's more logical now
