Mackay is breaking the game
Seriously not much else to say. His ability in its current state breaks the game and creates infinite possibilities of corners you need to check with almost no downside to him. The cooldown isn't lon...

Just like Sundance. MacKay is a mobile spawn point for the rest of his squad that can get to areas near objectives that other specialists can not. In the right hands these two specialists can be the most valuable players on the team. Unfortunately since most people playing Battlefield either seem to forget, or simply do not care that they are in a squad. This invaluable team play potential for these specialists is often wasted. It is wrong to state that MacKay has no team purpose just because people refuse to utilize it.

MacKay/Sundance mobility has decreased the predictability of gameplay and this makes the game too chaotic, which in the end decreases the fun of playing the game.
Getting shot in the back by players having "extreme mobility" quickly gets old.

@cso7777"FLash Mackay" moves at lightning speed in portal TDM, and I'd say about 25% of TDM players rock Mackay due to the speed advantage. Plus add in the fact that Mackay can camp high up in spots that force players to stare at the sky half the game so see if he is camping another "impossible location"...super elite for sure.
And you will notice in TDM when the map radar is turned off, about 1/3 of players go Mackay as then they can camp up high and you won't know where you got shot from (does not highlight location at death), or see them on the map when they shoot. On those portal server, Mackay dominates everyone from height on maps that have lots of elevation via buildings.
Plus I find it odd that the grapple hook Pathfinder from Apex Legends has a longer cooldown time than the Battlefield 2042 "Pathfinder" Mackay, yet EA developed both games, but wanted faster mobility in BF than Apex Legends???Yet TTK is quicker in BF than Apex Legends so perhaps they wanted BF to be a faster paced game... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
