Is pathfinder ever going to get a nerf?
Impossible to escape a pathfinder/chase. tactical is 13 seconds for a recharge. Impossible to get accurate headshots Hitbox is still absolutely awful Are devs actively looking into this or are the...

I main Pathfinder and I think he top 3 tier among the existing legends in pretty much all categories, hitbox, defensive, offensive, utility etc etc. And I think we rather should nerf the strong champs than buff the weaker since I think this game should primary be about shooting and the basic movement where abilities just adds the "spice" to it all.
So here are two nerfs that I think would balance Pathfinder without taking away too much of the essence of the legend:
1) If you use your Q without hitting a surface, then put it on 5(?) secs CD.
This would increase the skill cap by forcing the player to learn the reach and have a precise aim and also punish "bad" usage of it which is the case with most other legend abilities. A badly timed or fat-fingered Wrath Q means full CD so why not the same with Path?
2) Simply increase the ultimate cooldown.
In all honesty, the CD is a little to low in relation to how big of an impact it can have on the game. So many games when the Zipline literally was the only reason your team out-ran the circle or got the winning position in the end game etc. At least 150 secs imao.
@Babbediboopi Pathfinder has 0 defensive and support capability.
Not if you ask me (but I realize it might come down to semantics). For me, the ability to grapple away and heal is a defensive capability, actually one of the best in the game. And the ability to transport the entire team up to high places (or just out of a bad situation) and find the next circle are both S tier support capabilities.
- @Babbediboopi Mleh, kind of. Depends on the defn i guess, but being able to escape a fight and heal isn't really defensive, but a quirk enabled by his mobility.
Since you mentioned support and utility like they were separate things, I treated them as such.
Specifically, the support defn I was going by was that a support ability can contribute directly to healing. You could expand the defn of support to include utility, but I didn't.
So, in essence, Pathfinder would have good utility, but not support. By the defn I used. If you expand support to include some of utility, then Pathfinder would have good support and utility. Understand?
Also, there are quite a few tricks to using Pathfinder's grapple, some of which are a little obscure.- @Sir_Named The fact that he can disappear off your screen and you can lose sight of him is a defensive capability lol, like fighting thor sometimes ffs lol
As long as Wraith and Pathfinder are in every game the other legends will never be picked.
- @Eye_of_Horus_02 It's to do with the hitbox, your shots don't register half the time either, I could be using a pk and it would do 12 damage when its supposed to do 112-120.
