He has the 3rd biggest hitbox out of all legends. It's not justified that he is tagged with low profile along with the 2 smallest hitbox legends just because people cant hit moving targets.
^ This.
If the lazy over-corrections keep going, when they do finally correct the Pathfinder models so you can hit what you can see : he'll just be unplayable. As this thread has shown, when the whining about the hitbox doesn't cut it it just metastasizes into whining about his abilities because people have gotten too used to blaming Pathfinder's OPness for their losses instead of saying "I could have shot/moved better there".
Adding these weird non-balance counter-incentives to him instead of fixing the problem is like jailing the wrong person for committing a crime. The real criminal is still out there causing problems - i.e the crap on his models that you can see but not hit. Same as with Wattson's backpack.
While no one is concentrating on the real issue with PF, Respawn are going to keep making the same mistake with other characters and we're just all going to have more stuff we can see but not actually land hits on.

He can stay as he is. I've started to main him. You do not get hit as much in fire fights. It seems "A/B" strafing is more effective, and the get away speed of the grapple is second to none.
Something is broken with him, but sack it, I'm just using him now. There are zero drawbacks to using him.
- 7 years ago@Silz616 There are zero drawbacks to using most characters. They all come down to how you use them and playing to their strengths.
It 'seeming' like A/B strafing is more effective isn't exactly conclusive. Main him for a while - you'll get cleaned up by the same amount of shots you would playing anyone except caustic/gibbles, with the only difference being afforded by grappling away if you can do it well.
You won't be able to rat away through buildings as well as Octane or Wraith, especially since you're tall enough that you practically fill the doorways and PK peekers won't miss.
Use one of the legendary skins though if you want to play for an advantage - because that's where it is.- 7 years ago

Yes I can "rat away" with grapple, without losing health or by being tracked easily at ground level while Phasing or Ulting. He's hands down the go to legend lol.
I could feel Lifelines lowprofile debuff straight away. I live longer as Pathfinder.. However you want to paint it to tell yourself you are not at an advantage using him, but you are. I know I am when I'm using him.
I'm maining him as of the weekend. I'm not making any excuses for using him either. He gets hit less, with amazing movement at zero cost. It's a no brainer that I have over looked due to me "liking" other characters. As much as I love Lifeline and Octane, they do not hold a candle to PF.
