Mackay Cool-down…….. Why ?

Why does Mackay have a cool-down on his grapple. It takes long enough for the re-load animation to play out, let alone wait for a cool-down timer to run down before you can zip around again. would ...

@DunkPricey It’s about adding a semblance of balance, he’s not Spider-Man. They’ve nerfed him a little since release and it was definitely warranted. His mobility was such a bonus that they reduced the range of the grapple as well as increasing the cool down time. He went from people complaining about him daily in the forums to only now and then, which shows it’s worked lol. One of the few times the Devs got it right. They adjusted the deal, pray they don’t alter it any farther….

@DunkPricey it would be fun, but Mackay and Sundance are the game breaking Specialists with their mobility. So that change would make Mackay even more OP.

Maybe in Portal, but unlimited grapples? It would feel like Tribes (old game)

  Grapple hook is among the best abilities in the game, especially on some areas of some maps.
  Would a shorter cool down be fun for you? Sure
  Would a shorter cool down be fun for those chasing you around? Probably not
  Would a shorter cool down further unbalance the ability in comparison to the other options? Probably.
  I feel that it makes map design too hard. Gameplay too random. I wouldn't mind if it never appears in a BF game again.
