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...

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
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
They should at least nerf it in two steps, one step to 20~25 seconds and then check results and if it didn’t work as they wanted they could have try 30~35 seconds then. Turning 15 to 35 s is a bit shocking.
I think pro meta will be: Wraith, Gibby and Watson
- @Alphabets great point, this over correction displays the lack of experience for whomever made that call. what a noob =P
Something else to think about here.
How many other characters passive, tactical and ultimate ability are utterly useless In almost every indoor situation? Oh that's right, pathfinder is the only one. And considering many games end in a building? Yea this makes sense. You cant shoot wraith in her tactical, but after they nerfed his grapple velocity pathfinder is embarrassingly easy to shoot while in animation you feel like an idiot for trying.
Sorry, but the game was way too much fun for players that used Wraith and Pathfinder, now the time has changed. What can people that used Mirage, Octane, Bangalore, Bloodhound, Crypto, Gibralter(for so long) has to said about the fun, when their legends was completely sh**** ????
You are complaining about 1000% necessary change, that even come very late. You are saying Excessive, but i`m saying that Path and Wraith was OP for so long time, and it took them too much time to bring them to the ground, where all the other legends are there.
15 seconds was a joke. It was like 12 sec with a gold helmet, which is a more joke.
To be good with Path grapple you need like few hours, to be very good with it, you need like to spend less than a day in the firing range and you are good to go.
Yeah it actually require more skill to use it, compare to other escape mechanism, aka Wraith phase, but its easy and fast to learn, and if you can`t, you are level are just low(this is not towards any of you).
I don`t think this will kill Pathfinder, like most of you are crying for, but even if it kills him, you don`t have the right to complain a s*****, cause he was a top 2 legends, from the very beginning of the game, and legends like Mirage and Octane for example were top 2 bottom, and still are.
The way i see it, you can`t make 12 legends be equally strong, and some always going to land on top and some on the bottom, so i don`t see where Respawn said that Wraith and Path should always be a top 2 pick, and not lets said a top 2 bottom pick.
Tho Wraith is still a top 2 pick.
Don`t know where Path is going to be after that path. But he is 1000% not going to be top 2 bottom for sure.And you can`t come and complain about something that is just being changed/balanced. You need plenty of time to decide if the change was right or not.
So the guy who should go and play the game is you.
You are obviously a biased Pathfinder player, who read the path notes and goes into mad phase.
And as far as the Dev should have done that slowly i disagree. Pathfinder get away with this for way too long. So they decide to do it at once.
- @LordloshBang Path is now just on a similar level to Wraith, why? Because they didn't nerf anything else, just his cooldown for his tactical, he still has all the speed buffs etc.
