Season 7 Pathfinder Nerf
The changes (nerfs) to Pathfinder have kind of become a running joke. During Season 5, I asked the community what changes Pathfinder would receive for season 6 and almost everyone felt Respawn would reduce the tac cooldown. Welp.
Instead, as I predicted, Pathfinder got a soft nerf. Some people have suggested that the passive change is a buff but I wholeheartedly feel that Pathfinder is weaker (with regard to individual AND team viability) than he was last season. Allowing other characters to scan the beacon decreases Path’s uniqueness— and his team viability is hurt because the other two characters who can scan beacons ALSO got their own individual buffs. It really makes it hard to justify having a Pathfinder when you can throw a Bloodhound on the team who can scan beacons and utilize his other scan abilities.
It’s gotten rough for us Path mains; punishment perhaps, for the multitude of months of him being too viable.
So what’s next? In line with the running-nerf-joke, what nerfs will our favorite robot see in season 7?
