Pathfinder Nerf!? Excessive!
15 seconds to 35 seconds for his Q... It's not April Fool's again right? That's actually absurd. I could see you guys nerfing it to 20 seconds. I mean that's reasonable but doubling its activat...
Forum Discussion
They have to fix this Nerf! Its just not fun anymore to play pathfinder and hes my favorite. May sound excessive but I dont think ill be playing anymore. Not until they fix this. 15-35 is absolute ludicrous!
- @cardsje15 Wraith's 35 second tactical says Hi.
New quip added:"Oops I missed my graple! guess I'm really f#$%d now friends!"
People like to act like his grap works itself, well it doesn't. In fact it takes precision timing and accuracy. It's high risk and SOMETIMES high reward as it is unbelievably easy to mess up a grap and get wrecked. It's way easier to mess up a grap and negatively impact the team than it is to have some sick grap positioning that helps them.
I'm curious to see a poll on how many people are dropping this game until this is fixed. Sorry to say because i love the game but count me in, coming from someone with over 20k kills on path.
Also most close combat encounters don't last over 15 seconds anyway. I usually only get to use my grap once per battle, but now when that 3rd party rolls in after guess how many graps I get? 0, cuz I'll be dead.
Give me refrigerator hit box path over this any day.
My guess is there must be some super salty caustic dev tired of getting ape'd by paths, good job.
And if additional cool down time to use grap is a must, which it isnt, it should be 20 seconds max and need to remove low profile.
Thanks
@Wh0FqRtedHis grappling isn’t complex to learn why are people making out like its a long learning curve.
Step 1. aim at the ground
Step 2. Wait a split second then holding down jump to build enough momentum to launch yourself forward. (Omg that was really difficult)
Step 3. Grappling on high ground same thing holding down your jump button while grappling and then turn your camera to fully thrust yourself ( oMg gUys tHaT wAz hArD)Your lack of knowledge in the matter is apparent, but good try. Maybe try playing the game.
Goodbye, you wont be missed. I see that coming from a long mile and i already foreseen it. Tho i was thinking about 25 seconds or maybe 30, but 35 put him in the line with Wraith, and you now have to make a choice.
I think this is one of the good thing that comes with season 5, as far as balancing goes.
As far as Lobba goes, she is next on the line. Mark my words that in the near future, her teleport is gonna get nerfed to the same spot where its Path escape mechanism and Wraith - 35 seconds.
I do even think she should have started with exactly that seconds.
Right now she is a bit OP. She is crazy good actually and i`m pretty sure she will get a tune down as well.- @LordloshBang Wasnt this game supposed to be fun ? If every legend gets the same treatment them where's the fun ? If you guys think path was an offensive guy you're wrong , if you think he's here to escape , you're wrong too , what matters is playing whoever you want , the way you want , if everyone gets from "op" to "can't survive a third party" then the game's already dead , this game is about skills and making choices , path needed this but it's too much , loba would be better off with a 30 sec cooldown and caustic is fine (if you don't mind campers) cuz in this game if you make the right choice you'll win , even in front of campers
- @cardsje15 With “not fun anymore” you mean that you can’t play the most OP character anymore on easy mode and have to think a bit more about your engagements.
I dont know why people are on here talking * for or against pathfinder.
Everyone has the opportunity to pick him.
Without reasonable movement speed pathfinder is simply not a good pick.
I believe they overcorrected in effort to convince people to explore the other legend changes. I'm sure this nerf will be dialed back eventually.
To increase time from 15-35 seconds is obviously a drastic change. The nerf is very clearly harsh
I play all characters but pathfinder became my main early last season. I think this just gives opportunity to try out the changes to other characters.
- @RwFinfrock The exact same thing was said about wraith, yet people still want her nerfed lol, pathfinders 35 second tactical CD is more than reasonable. Now every PF I meet has to actually SHOOT rather than run away every 12-15 seconds.
Hello,
I want to inform you that the new nerf for pathfinder it's too bad and it's mean that you don't care for pathfinder players, now I walk like I don't have grapple, most of his ability are useless except his grapples.
You ruined him too much as well disappointed, I am thinking of stop playing for while as well I wanted to buy the battle pass badly, but after this nerf I don't think so.
Thank you anyway
- @EngDeaa If you are relying on your tactical rather than gun play, then you are playing apex wrong. Welcome to apex. If wraith players can do it, i'm sure Pathfinder players can too.
