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...

@Axs5626Sxa5001 This thread was a bit long lol. So someone said make Pathy tactical equal to Loba's teleport. Pathy now has 35 sec while Loba tactical has a 30-sec cooldown(yet I don't see any complaints regarding that. Might be cuz she's new and it's given by default). I feel that if you want to decrease Pathy tactical from 35 sec to 25 sec, Loba tactical should be decreased from 30 to 20 cuz let's face it, Loba teleportation is nowhere near Pathy grapple in terms of power. Now I can't grapple as much as I used to every 15 sec, so I have to reserve my tactical for fights or use them when chances of a fight are very slim. A faceoff between two squads can go for 30-60 sec on average. So roughly one grapple per fight. And considering the distance and height it hits, I feel 35 sec is warranted. Maybe a 30-sec cooldown should be given instead of 35. Perhaps low profile nerf removal will appease the players. But let's face it, it's not happening anytime soon. I guess we all just have to adjust our playstyle a bit cuz now grapple is a very valuable possession. So no more grappling every time a bullet hits. :D
@BaldWraithSimp I haven't really played or tested Loba yet so correct any assumptions. They both have a delay before the tactical activates from what I saw of her briefly and she has a small delay after the tactical has finished and can reach roughly the same height and distance as Path but you don't take any damage while teleporting? whereas Path will while traversing across the map so I don't see any disadvantage as to why she should have a shorter cooldown. Also in your example you used 2 squads fighting for 30-60secs in a fight so realistically Path only being able to use his ability once but that doesn't account for 3rd or 4th partying which especially on KC or higher ranked games is fairly common.
- @apostolateofDOOM Loba's bracelet verticality isn't that good. And it's trajectory is weird, like sometimes you can't actually tell how high it's gonna go. It's almost half(or less I think) the vertical distance path that can go. Pathy is my 2nd main. I don't really know how I feel about her tactical but it doesn't feel as good as a grapple in terms of power. Teleportation is instant but the animation is like 2 sec long combined and you are vulnerable when you dematerialize/materialize and the trail is visible to everyone. So you always have to teleport behind cover/height so that you don't get shot. I only compared him to Loba cuz someone said her teleportation has lesser cooldown than his grapple. Well, I think teleportation isn't as powerful as grapple based on my 30 ish Loba games so that's why I said her tactical should have a lesser cooldown time than his grapple since people are comparing her tactical to his grapple.
