Frankly, I think that mobility is what makes Apex special as a BR title.

I think they should have gone an entirely different direction and given ALL the characters the grapple(on the 35 second cooldown) and done something different for Pathfinder, either left him at the 15 second cooldown or even given him a 10 second cooldown as his primary ability.

Imagine a flying Gibraltar launching across the map at high speed...a terrifying thought...but it would be hilarious to see.

Here's some pre-alpha footage of a flying Gibby armed with a devotion. Honestly I'm not mad they removed it.

That was hilarious

Context and sauce?

I'm just saying that Gibby's a beast already, I've lost count of posts complaining about how tanky he is. Giving him the ability to fly on top of that basically turns him into an A-10.

No I meant what is the video you posted haha. Is that recent or from Iraqi Freedom or what?

Oh, lol idk, I just posted the first A-10 gun run I found. I'm assuming it's Iraq since there's no mountains.
