Pathfinder ruins control maps

Pathfinder being "essential" is exactly why he ruins the mode! If you don't have him on your team, your screwed... That isn't a problem?

I Disagree that Pathfinder is the problem.

The main problem is that there's only 1 map designed for Control (Thunder Dome). Matchmaking is staged, and Wattson, of course.

Pathfinder isn't OP,  just essential. Without a good Path on your team, you're playing a spawn and running simulator.

How to try and balance Control:

1.  Before the start of a match, each team should have 3 Pathfinders and Octanes designated for a free ultimate.

2.  Spawning at Base grants Double damage and speed, and 90% Fortification for about 7 seconds (to help when matchmaking is broken) (most matches). 

3.  Wattson's fences should be broken once you're electrocuted. (Wattson can Ban B for free; a single fence can be more effective than a player.)

4. DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE MOBILE RESPAWN BEACON, THERE'S NOTHING MORE FRUSTRATING than accidentally using it! OH YEAH!! MY TEAM'S FUSE PLAYER PLACED IT NEAR OUR BASE.

Being able to traverse the entire map with Pathfinder's ultimate totally breaks the control mode...

Realthing707​ I agree.
