Can we talk about Pathfinder?

Season 3 brought some more nerfs to Wraith and no changes to other mobility based legends. Wraith's tactical cooldown went from 20-->25-->35 seconds whereas Pathfinder has a 15 seconds cooldown which is realistically more of a 12 second cooldown once you're in the grapple. To add to that, Wraith has lost the speed boost she got from using her ult+tactical at the same time. Pathfinder has insane vertical and horizontal movement which no other legend can match, not even Octane. Octane's jump pad is his only way to go vertical, doesn't get him as high as pathfinder and takes a while to charge up. His stim is still slower than Bangalore's passive speed boost (lol) and takes hp damage. Now we have Revenant who can climb higher, but not even close to what Pathfinder can do and it makes him an easy to hit target because of how much he slows down the higher he climbs.

So tell me, why does Pathfinder, the most mobile legend in the game have a 15 second cooldown on his tactical with no downsides whatsoever whereas all the other mobility legends are heavily nerfed in their mobility? I'm not calling for a nerf to Pathfinder, but a buff to all the other legends who feel more like a crippled version of what they should be.

  • @HansBurgers Yeah, they should definitely buff the rest of the mobility-based legends to be on par w/ Pathfinder! I think if wraith's tact. is gonna recharge so incredibly slow then she should have a 25-35% increase to her speed, also, she should be able to walk through closed doors when she's void-walking, just for kicks. I also think Rev. should be climbing the same speed 'till he gets to the end of his climb. Also, what happened to Octane's stim only taking 10% of his health? Now it takes 12 dmg every time he stims, I literally committed suicide b/c I thought it still only took 10% of your current health! Also, if you guys meant 10% of your starting health, unless Octane takes 120 dmg without shields, 12 dmg isn't 10% of 100, it's 12%, FYI. Anyway, pls go back to 10% of his HP, he's such an underpowered legend.
  • I want them to put Wraith back how she was. She was way more fun to play, doesn't matter if I got wrecked by her more often.

    Pathfinder needs a buff.  His grappling speed is too slow.  How many times have you killed him during his grapple?

  • @Pallo420 Not much! Two-hundred, maybe three-hundred, tops! I think they did increase the grapple speed, though, it feels soooo much faster now!
  • @HansBurgers Revenant is a perfect example for this... if pathfinder can grapple to the 4th floor why can’t revenant climb to the 4th floor? Why is he only limited to climbing to the 2nd floor max...
