@Axs5626Sxa5001 Honestly I don't want to see anymore nerfs to these two characters cause they're not obnoxious to play against anymore. What I wanna see is the other Legends buffed and/or skills reworked. No matter how much they nerf Wraith or Pathfinder people who main them will still play them and it's not really fair to force people out of playing a certain character by constantly nerfing them.

I was pretty sure this was the case, because i see plenty of Wraith and Pathfinders. But did they deserve more nerfs - definitely no.

Respawn are touching carefully and they are doing great job with the "nerfs", they actually not nerf or overnerf, despite all the Pathfinder crybabies on here. What they are doing is tuning down an OP legend, and they are doing it in best manner. Not nerfing the skill, but actually just put longer CD, which means no SPAM on it, as it shouldn`t be, and in that fashion you actually need to use your brain on when to use your abilities and invest into aiming/movement skills actually.

As i said million times, there shouldn`t be abilities that should deny you a death you deserve, because you made the wrong decision, or aka pre season 5 Pathfinders, charge 1v3, if not working out, run away with his grapple, because of a joke of CD he had on his grapple .

And one more thing, legends like Path and Wraith are picked, because they have escape mechanism abilities, but they also have great team helping abilities, like portal, zipline, Wraith passive tells you if people are near, and Pathfinder zone scan, which is extremely useful in ranked/tournaments.

No other legends has that, and this is the reason they are picked and played that much, and thats why they are that strong, even with all the nerfs they get, and they deserved.
Pathfinder was clear number 1 last season, now he is top 5 legend, so as i call before, all the crying was exactly that crying.

He is still super strong legend and he is still very useful.

And i actually like Respawn for not just buffing a certain legend, and make this game in abilities spam s**** and then the game will became totally unbalanced.

They should process very carefully with the buffs for other legends.

For Octane the situation is very easy, but for other legend, its very hard if buffed, to not become OP.

As for team usefulness and escape mechanism i forget to put Loba in there, cause she belongs there now. Another strong legend, and now we have a bit more variety.
