Honesty regarding Pathfinder Nerf
Whether you are for or against the Pathfinder grappling hook nerf, you HAVE to agree that nerfing ANY one character attribute by 133% in one update is not the way to respect a portion of any playerba...

I’m thinking they could have achieved this more gradually over time as opposed to dropping a bomb on Pathfinder mains.
Lemme turn this around. Buffing. When you buff one character so dramatically that it affects ALL the other players. What’s your stance on that? One certain legend should come to mind.
Another food for thought on the 2nd comment. Do you rip a bandaid off slowly and gradually or fast? That said, what did you see happen to the small increments of the buffing of one particular character and the subsequent nerfing of another due to those buffs? People complain longer that way.
Path was overdue a nerf for seasons now. All in one go now. Beautiful. No dilly dallying, just cut off the leg and be done with it style.
- @Koochi-Q Question is, is Path a viable option now considering his passive is scanning beacons (I think they're still in the game), 5% increased damage, finger tips and tippy toes taking on just as much damage, and a 35 seconds tactical.....the answer is no.
@Koochi-Q are we really comparing Mirage to Pathfinder now? Mirage, the character who's been underused since day one due to a terrible kit that wasn't useful for himself nor his team, to Pathfinder, a character with high mobility and usage due to having a functional kit that benefits both himself and his team? Seriously?
Also, you don't rip baindaids off, ever. You slowly remove them. When you rip any sort of bandage off your body, all you're doing is giving the wound a chance to reopen, which can lead to the same problems as when you got said wound. You don't rip a cast off, you don't tear off bandaids or wrapped bandages, you don't rebreak your leg to remove a splint.
People complain, that's what the boards are for, that's what the social media pages people have are for, and it's the developers job to listen to said complaint and figure out if they're justified or not. Instead we get developers who barely listen to anything, and shotgun whatever update they deem necessary and it's sad to see.
Path mobility with grapple is very strong, path can swing like monkey and 15 seconds was too fast, everybody agree on that.
I'm kind of agree 15->35 is too extreme, I think 15-> 25 is reasonable delay.
- @pastaclown Lolz I love the fact that you assumed I was talking about Mirage. Hint, I was not.
Who says there was a wound? I just asked the hypothetical, do you rip it off slowly or fast. No one said anything about a wound.
Last I checked, this was a discussion board, not a complain one, so I don’t think these forums are for complaining, but discussing things. However, complaining might accompany them, but they’re not for that purpose.
Also, I don’t think it’s a dev’s job to listen to complaints. It’s a dev’s job to develop a game. Listening to the community either comes with the package of being a ‘good dev’ or they do it for whatever reason. But after they make the game, a dev’s job basically is done unless it’s an ongoing game in which case they shape it towards their goal. But I get your drift.
@the other dude... I have played neither. I lay my enemies to rest. But I’m not really sure what you’re talking about. So can you elaborate@Koochi-Q you complain non issues out of the game til it is dry and everyone is running around doing the same thing and it turns into a moba and is boring. paths grapple was nothing. so what he runs away lol, so what he grapples in, kill him. play with ur team, it was a non issue i never thought about being OP. i thought it played perfectly into his aggressive role, wraith has q that makes her immune, path can die while grappling thats why its on low cd. path is not op lol even if path gets away you can see his team mates respawn in drop ship and the ring has to close eventually, paths problem was not his grapple
u are literally the portion of the player base that lays games to rest. did u come from overwatch or world of warcraft? @Koochi-Q
@a24zxc5411011abxwow is still ahead of apex on twitch
@Koochi-Q if you look closely the guy you said the whole dramatic “cut pathfinders legs off “ thing to has +16 xp on his comment and you only have 5
- @boy_Hoodle You can look from afar and see that I don’t care. So what’s the point you’re trying to make? XD
@Koochi-Q @that no one agrees with you lol. People don’t won’t everything perfectly balanced and imagine if everyone’s favorite hero got treated how you randomly wanna treat path. Games that perfectly balance never end well
