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...

@Koochi-QI absolutely agree.
I am just fearful that players will still complain about Path because a lot of us mains will continue to play and win with him.
I can already see people bitching when they don’t down Path because he grappled away. “Path’s grapple hook is OP man!” Those complaints coupled with no obtuse drop in pick rate are just going to result in more nerfs.
I will roll with the punches regarding nerfs, but I do find myself asking “where do we draw the line?” After Path’s last nerf I asked the community if Path was finally in an ok place and the overwhelming majority said “yeah he is ok now”.
But now some of the same people flipping back and are saying “no he always needed the 35 second cool down.”
So I pose that question again to the players who have been unhappy with Path players:
Is this nerf enough? Is he in an ok spot now? Or do you think we should bump his low profile up to 10% increased damage? Maybe a just take away the zipline and make his grappling hook his ultimate on a 60 second cooldown?
Lol. Again, I’m just interested in where people draw their lines.
@Axs5626Sxa5001 People are finicky from what I've seen. They mostly go along with the flow. Just look at bloodhound. Everyone knows (s)he has a big head/helmet hitbox. But people found the legend to be bottom or mid tier. The legend gets a nerf for the tactical which frankly was bad and all of a sudden people claim that it's too good and it needs to be toned down. While BH mains were like... okay good upgrade, but it still gives my location away...
So there's always gonna be two sides of the coin, but if path should be further 'punished' I honestly believe not. I don't even play the dude but I can objectively say from my perspective that any more nerfs on him are gonna make his character obsolete due to octane or wraith outPathing him.

@Koochi-Q youre literally just going with the flow right now lol. This path change was so crazily unnecessary . And you go with the flow by saying “He MoVeD aLoT CuT HiS LeGs OfF dEvS” I bet if they decreased his cooldown to 5 seconds you’d be defending that

@a24zxc5411011abxYea, exactly, I'm going with the flow :D... If you have time try going back several hundreds of posts where I talk about him needing a bigger cooldown on a number of posts... but nahhh guess you won't do that since it's time consuming and there's no actual way of seeing an individual's post (as far as I know).
Either you don't exactly know what you're saying or you're trolling so wrongfully, so let me get this right...
You say "I bet if they decreased his cooldown to 5 seconds you'd be defending that", which plain and simple means that his cooldown would be 5 seconds after each use that I'd be defending that? XD How would I defend a 5 second cooldown if I'm not okay with a 15 second cooldown?
I think if you're trolling or trying to be a wiseguy you meant to say "I bet if they increased his cooldown by 5 seconds you'd be defending that", which means 5 seconds on top of the 35 he already sits on. How would I defend that if I'm not even defending this 35?
I guess what you meant to say if you were actually asking something (which I'm almost sure you're not) was "I bet if they decreased his cooldown by 5 seconds you'd be defending that", which in turn means that the 35 would be 30 seconds, yes I'd be defending that since it's a step in the right direction, but as I said 20-23 seconds would be a fair point to look at.
So tell me, which one did you mean?
nah, wow guess I really gotta simplify things around here, I am saying If they reduced his cooldown instead of increasing it, from 15 to 5 seconds you’d like that too , you’d be like “yay I love Spider-Man thank you daddy respawns please give me +xp! 😍” I’ve seen not one single post talking about path grapple. And which is it, am I too lazy to look at your posts ? Or is it impossible? Lmao. Anyway, path grapple nerf was useless, max it shoulda been was 20 sec (let me explain for you, 15 seconds + 5 seconds = what paths new cooldown should be if anything)
- @a24zxc5411011abx Yep, I’d definitely like that. Good call. I guess you’re clairvoyant.
Nope, I wouldn’t like that, but you don’t actually see reason so lemme just end this after this post.
Did you go through the posts and find them? I’m asking but not looking forward to a reply.
If it was useless, why does it need to be 20 seconds? I’d take a gander and say that the 35s had some effect which in turn did not make the change useless.
