Pathfinder Feels Useless.

I've played a lot of Pathfinder, hoping to make it work because I enjoy him thematically. Unfortunately, I just cannot justify playing him anymore. His passive is offensively useless and leaves your completely out in the open and vulnerable as you use it. His grapple needs to move him faster and more consistently "land" him in a spot - I get unintentionally slingshot all the time. A range indicator of sorts would be nice too. Now for his ultimate; it's just ineffective. It seldom connects to high-up spots and is frequently obstructed by terrain (trees, rocks, etc), knocking you off early. It's rarely useful for repositioning and hardly more useful for quickly traversing terrain than by foot. 

I've put the grapple to use reposition on top of buildings and ledges in firefights, but it's inconsitency is frustrating.
