So data was released this week which shows the Legend pickrate since the onset of Season 5. The data shows that Wraith and Pathfinder are still the most popular Legends by a good margin. Despite be...

@LordloshBangThey aren't nicknames but designated roles that let you know how you'll contribute to your team depending on your choice and they are slightly deceptive as things stand when the shielded fortress aka main tank can support and rez you as well if not better than a combat medic.
Bangalore is pretty balanced and well rounded imo but I agree this has been the closest they have been since release.
Problem is the majority of people were playing Path or Wraith.. I'm not debating if he needed a nerf or not as I have mentioned that in another thread but when you cut the most used legends ability so drastically that he a) can't fulfil his role and b) takes away the fun factor associated with that legend then there will inevitably be pushback from the community even if the nerfs were justified.
@apostolateofDOOMI tend to agree.
I guess I’m still sort of shocked on the severity of the nerf. It’s like, wait, what was Pathfinder’s role supposed to be? If the current version of Path was how the devs intended him to be then they were way way way off with the 15 second cooldown.
And if the devs decide to stick with the 35 second cooldown, I will be fine with that. But that would raise some questions. Mainly:
Why is the grapple hook the longest cooldown of all the “escape” tacs, when it is absolutely the most difficult to use effectively? And even once it’s “mastered”, it’s not all that much better than Loba’s bracelet or Wraith’s void— both of which have faster cooldowns. Shouldn’t we make the easy to use tac the one with the longer cooldown?

Pathy has a 35-sec cooldown!!!!!
35=35
Loba has 30 sec. It's five-sec difference cuz Grapple>Teleport.
Do you want to compare Octane's cooldown with Pathfinder next??
- @BaldWraithSimp Ah ok, thanks for clearing that up. I thought the Void tac was slightly less than 35.
I still stand by my statement regarding the grappling hook skill curve. I absolutely see how it can be more versatile than the Void tac and Loba’s bracelet, but people tend to OVER-praise it (these people usually aren’t Path mains).
