This is my Eulogy for PathfinderI'm sorry but im going to vent a little, call me a cryer or whatever i iust want to share my opinion. I'm a Pathfinder main and this nerf has made completely useless next to Loba.With Loba introduced into the game with her ability to teleport with a 25s cooldown next to Pathfinders 35s grapple cd she is now superior as a mobility character.The fun of Pathfinder has been ruined now when i play as Pathfinder im literally scared to use my grapple. What if i swing into the enemy? what if i use it and i need it to catch myself from a fall? Now as the forward scout i have to run BEHIND my teamates so i can use my grapple defensively.Pathfinder has been reduced to a Loba that can't see loot through walls, has a bigger hitbox (yet has low profile),cant use black market, and has a longer mobility cd but hey at least i still have a zipline.I understand nerfing a character to balance out a game but this is just straight up murder. I've seen a lot of people saying they are quitting the game over this but i've decided i'm now a Loba main because Loba is just a better Pathfinder now.Press F to pay respects

It's funny how everyone just comes here and compares Loba to Pathfinder.1. Her teleportation is at 30-sec cooldown. So, going by your comment you don't know what you are talking about since you haven't even played Loba.2. Loba is superior as a mobility character? The minute you throw your bracelet, you will be locked in animation(no guns until you have warped to your destination), you can't sprint or take out your gun or slide. The whole warping takes about 4 sec, so you are vulnerable for 3 sec since you are basically invisible for almost 1 sec(maybe less) when warping. Grapple>Teleportation, anyone saying otherwise is wrong. The grapple goes covers more distance horizontally and more than double vertically. And you can take out your weapon instantly when the grapple disconnects. Also, you can throw in a slide/bunny hop with the grapple to make you harder to hit when you touch the ground, while Loba has to put her bracelet back on after warping so she can't slide or sprint after.3. Her hitbox is definitely not smaller than Pathfinder. Loba is taller/thiccer than Wattson and Lifeline, so you can infer the relative size of Loba and Pathfinder from this picture below.Lifeline, Wattson, and Pathfinder have almost the same hitbox size and all of them have low profile debuff on them. I don't know Loba's exact size but let me tell you she is bigger than Path for sure, and more closer to Revenant hitbox size. Cuz she thicc 😛 Pathfinder> Loba even after the nerf. You have decided to be a Loba main? Great! I can bet you haven't even touched her once when you made this post and if you did and still say Loba is a better Pathfinder, I don't know what to tell you. If you have a problem with Pathy nerf, make some valid arguments and don't go throwing around completely ridiculous ideas.

@BaldWraithSimp I have seen the video before. The distance he's at is inconsistent, especially in the way he's measuring the hitbox but it's useful for a rough guide for showing things like Octanes hit box or pathfinders shoulders ect.. Not accurate imo for a pixel measurement.Fyi, I agree with almost everything else you said! :P@DarthValtrexI'm all for shaking up the meta as it has basically been the same since S2. I understand why people feel like it's two fingers up at those that main Path and considering he and Wraith are the most picked legends, that's a lot of people they cheesed off. I think they could have been a bit more gentle and gone about things slightly differently but it is what it is and understand that without a harsh action they wouldn't have got the reaction they were looking for. Personally doesn't effect me as I been mostly mixing it up since last season anyways.

@BaldWraithSimp I will admit I had a loba trapped in a building. Threw down some gas traps and was going to gas her death. She tossed her bracelet out the window.

@BaldWraithSimpYeah but Pathfinder can get the entire team out of a sticky situation, Loba can't. Toss in that I miss more shots on Pathfinder than any other legend (aside from wraith).Pathfinder is still a decent legend. He just has to use his grapple tactically now, instead of all over the place. The problem most people have with him, he's not OP anymore and players who could overachieve with an OP legend can't anymore. Now that they are on equal ground they are getting knocked around a bit more. I think we need to give things more time and see where/how things are in a week or two. I'm really annoyed with the Mastiff right now. I'm starting to think it's just the fact that everyone is using them. But it gets old getting 2 shot knocked by it before you can unload a R-99 clip. If they land a headshot with all pellets it can do 180 damage in one shot.

@BaldWraithSimp I haven't looked at the comparison between Loba and Paths hitbox yet but ''Lifeline, Wattson, and Pathfinder have almost the same hitbox size'' is wrong. Path is much bigger.

@BaldWraithSimp Im not mad at all it was an analogy since you assumed because i didnt know the exact time her cd was that i just didnt play her the analogy being you calling me out for not watching the show/playing the game because i was wrong on a single detial. To the contrary your detailed post just pointed out that you didn't take into account that lobas ability can be cancelled/commited to early if you double tap the ability button. Loba is no doubt a more viable mobility character than pathfinder with her teleport the range you can travel with either is pretty simular. Regardless of travel distance Loba having the shorter cd allows her to outpace path easily i've pretty much played nothing but Loba since her release since the Pathfinder nerf. I may not know all the details down to the pixel like you but playing both i can clearly see the difference in ability

@XGC_UZUMAKI If you do the math, for 7 Loba teleports you get 6 grapples so not much difference. And like I said, grapple can be combined with slide, bunny hop, etc while you can't do that with Loba's teleport so that debunks the theory that Loba is more mobile. And grapple has more than twice vertical distance. Loba teleport can help her get out of pinned down buildings but she is not much use in open areas unless you teleport to cover, while you can zoom across the map with pathfinder using the terrain. Pathfinder definitely feels more mobile. I am maining Loba as of now since I needed to change my main, had enough games with Octane and Pathfinder.

And sorry about the unintended hostility in my original post.

@BaldWraithSimp it doesn't matter how much you explain to these pathfinder mains that grapple>teleport they'll still think pathfinder is dead because he just got nerfed.
