Wraith, Lifeline, Octane, Pathfinder Buff

These Characters need buffs terribly bad. Octane has needed one for a long time now, lifeline should at least have low profile removed, wraith needs a buff and has deserved one for a long time now as...

I've played every legend in this game, every season, even pre season, I'm about to hit 13k kills overall and I can confirm that ALL low profile legends and Octane do need buffs, these are the best characters to pick because of how fun they are, but they removed all the fun things about them. Wraith has never been buffed, if the leaks are true about a second passive coming to offence legends that still won't be a buff because it's so independent. Ok, I understand that Wraith and Pathfinder may have a bigger pickrate because streamers choose them. So what? You think every viewer plays exactly like the streamer? Lifeline is in a bad position when it comes to balancing and her stats are really good. Wraith does deserve a buff and she is not as overpowered as people think, you can still die and take damage in the void, but not only that, if it happens to you, your next voidwalk is cancelled! Pathfinder taking 35 seconds to grapple and Wraith taking 35 seconds to reposition is completely out of this world

@onii_luvs_otters I’ve also played every legend.
Octane does need a buff, but that’s been confirmed. I don’t see why people feel the need to comment on it anymore.
Not all Low Profile legends need a buff though. Wraith is still fairly good, Lifeline is actually good but not very unique (devs are working on a rework, not a straight buff).
There are still many people who do well on Pathfinder. I thought the nerf was a bit much too, but it seems like people still do well as him.
Wattson doesn’t really need a buff either, she’s pretty good if you have a good premade and work together well.

Sure, the occasional glitch where you take damage while using your tactical sucks, but that’s not a big problem. Plus, when it does work as intended, it’s very useful.

    i have almost played about a 1000 hours mainly with path, Caustic, Gibi, Wraith, almost everyone without Lifeline! Playing path seems a bit punishing now as he lost is mobility and take more damage he seem very weak, i haven't seen that much of super movementy gameplay after the Nefr, If the Devs are discouraging fast / mobility game  play they are on a good track, making it a dull game !

      Pathfinder is still playable, and can be fun. I even saw a reddit post where someone did really well as Pathfinder and was now happy that nobody else would take their main. 
      The grapple is definitely more restrictive in terms of how you can use it, but it just means you can’t spam it like you used to. The actual mobility from the grapple hasn’t been touched and is the same as before, so you can still use it to launch yourself far distances.

        @Sir_Named but the point of path was forward scout, and he can't even do that in short time then what's the point ? it's like "here you go the keys of a Tesla and you can't drive it in (ludacris) mode as it will be sad for other exotic cars"
