Re: Over Buffing the "Least Played" to force players to play them DOESN'T WORK

Stats are broken and the game is starting to become bad because devs are basing their nerf/buffs/reowrks on that, path has good stats because he is impossible to play for new players so he is only played by high tier players who never looses 1 grapple. Anda lege.d that has all of his ability based on movements but having those movemnts nerfed whil having a pretty much large hit box with the low profile, is a problem.

He also has good stats because he is not played that much, and getting played by very good players while not having that much people playing him for sure increase stats. I don't even think respawn has game testers tbh, for multiple reasons one of them being that they added a skin that literally allows you to get ghost hitted, and it took about a week to fix that... For a skin...

@MonhulioI think path increased cooldown didn’t really do much for him. It nerfed him but only slightly and like he said making him less fun. You can’t really grapple whenever you’d like because you never know when a team will rush you and don’t have your tactical ready. Honestly I think an interesting buff to him to make him more fun and make his passive better is to make so it reduce 5 seconds off his tactical and 20 seconds off his ult when you use a survey beacon. This way you have to do something to make him much better.

@Igeere1
The dev's have always based their patches based on stats. It's why characters get nerfs AND BUFFS.

A high pick rate means that he is picked second MOST often out of all legends. Your idea about stats is flawed there friend. He can't "not be played much" while having "second highest pick rate of all legends" that's not how it works. Out of the hundreds of matches a day, he is picked 11.5% of the time. Case and point, the only one higher than him is Wraith at 12.3%. An example would be out of 10000 matches played in a day 1150 of those have a pathfinder on someones team. That's a huge play rate.

@BBY_YOD4
I agree, they went a bit overboard on his cooldown nerf to his grapple, and the 10 second cooldown gain per beacon, needing 6 beacons to hit max cooldown buff is really quite bad.

I agree with both your statements of 5 seconds off tactical and changing ult cooldown buff to 20s per beacon with a max of 3 beacons. Using 6 beacons in a match is ludicrous.

What I think they should do for his new passive when they finally do give him one is make it so that when he spots someone they are revealed with threat detection for a short while, seeing as he is recon and technically the only reacon without any spotting capabilities.

Well the stats are broken as I said I mean you are kinda right but on the other side he is picked by a lot of newbie who just like his personality, I started maining path because he is a robot, robot are so cool!

Witb that being said stats are still broken because of this and the fact that he is picked by really good players and newbie, kinda weird sayin that, wich means he has good winrate and good pickrate. and not only this but you will think, dude he can't be picked by newbie, being hard to play and have a good winrate, and let me tell you, newbies, especially on free games, are not allways new to the game, smurfs and cheater are destroying stats and that's why I think they shiuldn't base their nerf/buff on stats but more on players feedbacks.

Yes players are giving bad ideas, but there is a lot of good ideas out there, and Resoawn should def try to make a new patch note based on palyers and game testers, if they have game testers, Feedbacks. Just for one patch note, please
