Ok, hear me out. I have been playing Apex for a bit and when I saw the pathfinder Nerf I thought that it was a bit harsh.
BUT, is he really unplayable? He still has zip-line, the ability to scan survey beacons (an underrated ability if you ask me), a slim hit box, and his grapple still works like it used too. I hear so many people complaining that Pathfinder is now bottom tier. I think maybe a 30 or 25 second cool down would be in order but he still has great mobility. It is just now he has to be more careful with his grapples.
I just think people should play with the Nerf for a bit longer before demanding that the Nerf be reverted.
@Nako485 I never liked Path so I can speak objectively but not with much experience. The nerf does balance him along with most other legends but I feel it causes 3 problems
#1. Pathfinder is a LOT less fun to play. I don't like the character but there's something satisfying about being able to move about the map so freely. Players that were used to flying around now have to run shoulder to shoulder with Revenant and Lifeline. It FEELS bad which isn't good for a game.
#2. It feels like a punishment to players that developed the skill to use his grapple at higher levels. The grapple was overpowered so it needed to be knocked down but this is again punishing players for developing skill around this feature.
#3. Whats interesting about Pathfinder anymore? Without the ability to grapple around freely and frequently his kit looks dull. Support and occasional repositioning that's Pathfinder. On the surface he looks like a dull character.
There hasn't been enough time to judge the nerf but I feel Pathfinder is balanced well while having the fun of playing him ruined. People will either get over it or obsess over a new character.
Yeah, it's that bad. He was SUPPOSED to be the mobile legend - his description is literally "Forward Scout."
Now if he grapples ahead of the squad to SCOUT, he's toast as the cooldown is too long. 35 seconds it's a duration that needs to be saved for escapes.
ETA: Also he does have one of the larger hitboxes, they gave him low profile to make up for his mobility which they took away.
Yeah i agree. Forward scout. I guess he is a forward scout who can no longer make it back to his team. Glad to hear many people are quitting the game over this and it was not just me. I do not main pathfinder but when i do play him i like to be able to feel like spider man. The 35 second cool down makes him virtually un playable. Compared to other legends he just dont got what it takes. Hopefully season 5 runs terrible for their company so they can look back on their decisions. This is what happens when you punish the happy robot
- @Gator762FMJ Agree, he’s unplayable. With low profile and now the nurf he’s not worth playing. As a pathfinder main I found it so hard with the low profile as it was but now I barely get one kill maaayybe two per game. Loba can now travel further and faster then pathfinder and she doesn’t have low profile So what’s the point.
@mrethanjd I highly doubt low profile is making any meaningful difference but you do so fair enough. Saying that Loba can travel further or faster than Pathfinder is an outright lie though.
No my mates that play pathfinder are still playing him, Pathfinder was cancer he was brought down to being acceptable now.
