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...

@Mad_Dog8762 I’m still playing Path. I’m adapting. I’m rolling with the punches.
But saying that you’re happy that a portion of the playerbase is upset?
Sorry man, but ANY nerf of that magnitude on ANY character is a big deal. We’re talking about people who have invested time into a certain play style. The same nerf could have been achieved gradually, not in one single update. I don’t think there has been one specific nerf as impactful as a 133% increase in cool down speed.
Again, I will roll with it, as should other Path mains. But the reaction from the community is warranted.

A significant portion of the playerbase was taking advantage of a, frankly, overpowered legend
Whats to expect when you take away their unfair advantage?
Very few people have the maturity to simply say
"Damn, that was fun, but definitely OP. I'm glad they balanced it"
Most people simply get upset when they are forced to change
The magnitude of the nerf can definitely be debated, sure
But factoring HOW powerful a pathfinder was, a "subtle" nerf would likely not be enough
To me, limiting its use to once a firefight seems absolutely fine to me, considering its power
