Pathfinder is a skirmisher and not recon? How?

His title is literally forward scout? Yea i get that his abilities can be used to cut through but that only happens at high level for the most part...People are legit using him as a scout at low-mid level (which are the majority of players btw..). Same can be said for mirage. Mirage can be an assault. a recon. a skirmisher. and even a controller.. I have developed a feeling that whenever a legend skill tree perk involves turning a legend into another class then that just screams "We dont know where to put this legend in the class system". Another example is rev. He can legit be a recon. He marks enemies at low health & his climbing and tac can be used to gain an observation high ground. I can even argue that his ult also serve the recon role because he can gain an exposed high ground with minimal chance of getting knocked quickly by a hidden enemy thanks to forged shadows. Gibby could be a controller and btw that imo would fit him more than support. Horizon could be assault. I can go on and on forever. I will never get how the classification system works in apex lol

  • I was looking at players and deciding what criteria makes them one or the other.

    Skirmishers tend to have no offensive ability, often have movement abilities
    Pathfinder is probably the most Skirmish level player, failing that, he would likely be support due to the zipwire being able to transport teammates.

    Mirage could definitely be either be skirmisher or support
    Skirmish, because his abilities are largely trick/confusion based and not offensive, support because he can revive teammates invisibly.

    Controllers have abilities that lock down an area, block access with defensive items. The controllers are accurate.

    Revanant is a fair point, though he feels far more attacking. He'd likely need abilities that act as recon more to change.

    Gibby is not a controller as his ability does not lock down an area - if his ultimate blocked or damaged or stun enemies for entering, then perhaps.

    Horizon, no, her abilities are movement based other than maybe a control type ult, she suits skirmisher.

    Ash could potentially be an attacker, but her ability is lacklustre. They really need to revamp the snare or change it. Personally I would make the snare last longer, and really lock a player, i never has a negative impact on me to be hit by it. They could also give her ultimate like 3 loads, or make it really fast loading. her ult is only mildly better than Loba's tact.
