He also rants about things and in such a way that he hits common threads for ALL players. Find me a single pro, casual, or content creator complaining about Pathy’s “before nerf” kit. There aren’t any. Brain dead EA… AGAIN.
I come back to see a video of you from time to time, cuz I don't like APEX anymore... Everytime I come back, I just see how my boy Path is getting nerfed... That's it... I actually don't understand why APEX is still alive, very good game, but those DEVS hahaha
This really is the dumbest nerf of all time. I never heard any complains about Paths tactical. It works as it should. Now it's useless. They did all this only because he had a high playrate. That's just a dumb reason. Legends should not be nerfed to the ground until they aren't fun anymore. God, by now I really don't know anymore with Respawn...
@@jonathansaal663 Various support legends have had pick rates similar to Pathfinder, but they instead chose to buff supports even further, while only nerfing Pathfinder. It's obvious that they're trying to enforce a boring support meta.
@@jonathansaal663no, people love pathfinder because grappling hooks are always fun and people love to play Spider-Man type movesets in games its thst simple. Hes not broken at all he just had an insanely fun to play kit and is being unfairly punished for the devs designing a great character.
@@NinjaTyler I never thought the Grapple or Fast Phase was OP. If u went down the line. Every legend had an advantage/disadvantage for self or team play.
I'm not a Path main, but he holds a special place in my heart because he got me my very first win in Apex years ago with a PK shot to the head to an Octane running down some stairs in Skulltown to get me but I got him first and my squad was down so it was up to me. Never forgot that moment. May that sweet robot find peace wherever he is because THIS PATHY HERE AINT IT!
The intro speech was absolutely delightful, had me rolling LOL I played a few games with Pathy this week and it was torturous, can't believe they nerfed the scan package / charged zipline!!
The whole 2 minute rant is absolutely worth it. I think they should just make every character busted. The “balance” philosophy they’ve taken is a joke.
Digi threat got nerfed where it can't see through smoke. They nerfed it like a season or 2 ago. There's now no reason for a digi scores anymore after they nerfed it
A good Perk for Skirmishers would be to have the armour swap above the death box instead of in it. That way, they can switch faster when up in close range. - Would make em OP
Opinion: I think respawn making the changes to support legends can be thought of as them trying to address the average match length. I only play ranked and have no frame of reference for pub games or LTM. I can honestly say that after these changes to support legends, the matches noticeably take longer. Another cause and effect could be that other teams wouldn’t full send right away because they know that within 5 seconds of a revive, the downed person will have full health off a shield batt. That being said… I used to be a path main until recently when they made path unbearable to play. I do think there are a lot of issues still in apex that need to be ironed out rather than focusing on releasing new content (which will never happen because $$$ is the mission). There’s plenty of guns, legends, and maps. I think they need to balance the game overall. Thanks for attending my TED talk :)
I will forever say as a Bangalore main she is the most disrespected legend in apex. every update and new feature/skill added to the game inadvertently nerfs her and she gets no kind of reworks or buffs whatsoever
I don’t even play bang but completely agree. She never had the bullshit factor that made her unfun to fight. When I lose to a bang I know they are good. Just know that you are so good that people want you nerfed. Only really good bangs who are very skilled got her nerfed. Horizon is just op no matter who plays her and should’ve been the one to take the hits from the bang, cat, horizon meta.
lmao the rant is hilarious, I like mad Rich. I am a casual though so I am really enjoying the support buff. I don't play enough that I'm "good", but being support can actually get me top 10. It's annoying to people who play a lot, for suuuure, but I think it's a fun meta. Most I've enjoyed playing apex in a lot of seasons.
I still don't know why tactical counts down in seconds, but ult is in percentage. It's been years Respawn, let's make this sane. Much easier to know when if someone says "I have ult in 40 seconds" than "I'm at 63% on my ult".
I’ll continue to play him, because he is my favorite legend since day one of apex. But man it kinda hurts playing him now, the whole fun part about him was swinging like spider man
I really want to know at this point who exactly are the devs and their leader cause i never want to play with any game they ever will manage in the future
I used to blame EA for things with Apex, but now I’m not so sure it’s all their fault, perhaps Respawn has lost their way as well. They literally do not listen to the community at all about what is fundamentally needed in this game. I quite literally do not understand the state of this game right now. I still enjoy the core game, as many do, but it is soooo stale. Nothing new to grind for, Ranked is the same it’s been for years with literally nothing new to grind for and even worse badges to earn for ranks. And don’t get me started with rift relics still being a thing in regular pubs and we can’t even earn damage badges.
why dont they just give path 2 or 3 grapple charges and have 15sec or 20sec wait for a new one. and a new skirmish class perks like, #1 for every cell popped, it reveal and highlight nearby enemies in a 5 meter radius, the bats in a 10 meter radius for 3sec, or #2 moving with weapon out speed, holster weapon speed , strafing speed , and couch speed increase. To what percent, i dont have a clue, maybe 5%. what yall think. Stupid pitch or was i cooking?
we truly are living in the dumbest fuckin timeline ever because what did pathfinder ever do to deserve this? this hurts especially because i was there day 42 playing apex, and pathy was my main- the _audacity,_ how _dare_ they do this to my sweet boy
As a pathy it crushes me. We have been asking for more because of dealing with trying to be a agro character with such a big hit box. No one was worried about pathy who the hell is over at respawn with this enteral hate for pathfinder. I switched to Maggie, pathy is pretty much useless now in my diamond lobbies
I've recently started playing Apex again after a long break and the changes to these support legends is insane 😅 Reviving and healing has never been faster and easier. I guess the devs want the fights to last longer?
They definitely dropped the ball on the nerfed Digi-Threat..this season could’ve been one of the better ones but you know Respawn takes our disappointment as their pleasure 🙄
Yeah I don't get the Pathy nerfs. Before, his grappling nerfs were supposed to be for balancing and to keep him in line with other movement type characters....but then they went and buffed Loba's bracelet and gave her two of them in this same patch, so the increased cooldown on the grapple makes even less sense from that perspective.
Started playing on day one and kept playing regularly but stopt last season. The game is totally ridiculous and not fun or rewarding anymore. It used to be about skill and awareness but now with all these perks, class advantages and stupid guns you don’t stand a chance half of the time.
I’m pissed with apex to, because I hit 3,500 with loba recently and I didn’t get the badge because apex said it needs to be standard BR but it’s not even available, it’s not even worth trying to get 4k or 3k badges I guess
Not to sound dramatic but it actually is an insult to the intelligence of the community, with a direct emphasis on Path players. It ALMOST feels like they were intentionally trying to troll people who enjoy playing Pathfinder. Here’s the thing: the charged zipline probably needed a nerf. But the grapple was technically the MOST fair ability in the game because the player “gets out what they put in”. But making it 30 seconds, with his large hitbox, at the same time that Loba gets TWO bracelets- thats an OBVIOUS troll to the fans.
Honestly if they were going to do this to pathy at the very least the damage reduction perk shoulda been implemented in his base kit and then maybe get like a 10 seconds cool down perk to replace it like rev but sigh
The great thing about Rich is that when he has a rant it means something. Dude rarely does it.
He also rants about things and in such a way that he hits common threads for ALL players.
Find me a single pro, casual, or content creator complaining about Pathy’s “before nerf” kit. There aren’t any. Brain dead EA… AGAIN.
You are absolutely right about that. However, I have rarely heard him so angry.
Meh
I come back to see a video of you from time to time, cuz I don't like APEX anymore... Everytime I come back, I just see how my boy Path is getting nerfed... That's it... I actually don't understand why APEX is still alive, very good game, but those DEVS hahaha
Because its still kinda fun you know instead of whine i just play
I literally just watch him to fill my void into playing the game . 😂😂
Completely unnecessary nerf on Pathy… Devs are brain dead 🤦♂️
I’m just here for the intros now 😂
Loved the rant, absolutely deserved. Hit the devs for 6

Play rate only increases with broken legends. Pathfinder has had a billion seasons with an advantage over all legends maybe minus horizon.

No see you guys in 5 1/2 SECONDS ?!?! Rich must be pissed !
I accidentally got pathfinder in ranked earlier. It was the worse experience of my apex life.
"... I am being forced playing Loba" 😅😅 that cut made me laugh out loud 😂
Pathfinder was done very dirty and I don’t even play him. The zip line needed tuning. Nothing else.
Your intro killed me mate😂😂😂
Respawn forcing Rich to get a divorse from Pathfinder? shame on you respawn
Facts, nothing but the absolute facts! Thanks for actually speaking up and keeping it real.
As an Octane main, I feel your pain… we play useless legends in a game overrun by the meta.
Very true, Octane really couldn't be more useless.
This is the best intro you've ever done
The rant with his accent is absolute gold 😂
That intro needs to be enshrined in The Hall of Rants! It was fantastic. Pure gold from start to finish!
What an epic rant! Thoroughly enjoyed the 2 mins of venting out at Apex!
You know Apex is in a *terrible* state whenever Rich is audibly annoyed in the intro. lol 😂
That rant had me in tears. He said the guy I knocked has more health than I do 😂😂😂
“Thanks Respawn, I’m playing Loba,” just absolutely sent me
The “Oh wait a second..!” Sent me 😂😂😂
12:17 what is the point of Digital Threat if you cant see the enemy through smoke??? apex is a disappointment
the game has become a parody of itself. Haven't played in months and with marvel rivals now taking up my time, I might never come back
apex logic lol they bring things in and they don't do it correct
Remember playing Bangalore + Bloodhound and r99 with digi? That was great - you could bamboozle people even without mirage on your team...
@@martin5561 the best combo
Rich i love your edits, keep up the good work
The most savage cabbage intro ever and we are HERE for it!

I think that’s a fantastic idea because it definitely fits the play style and is obviously a huge buff but not any more OP than all the support buffa
Press F for Path.

Imagine, you fuck up the grapple and you're getting a 30 second punishment 🤣
mate! the sniper headshot when he comes on the stairs. around 7mins in the video. smooth....
I love this side of Itemp, and screw the nerfs too, nerfing Pathfinder was out of hate from respawn
As a path main, and already spend so much for path skin im so mad. I understand if they nerf the zipline shield for around 40%.
Love love love that rant, for us PF's out there!
I loved the intro. Rich tell me how you really feel 🤣😂🤣

thanks for this, i needed a laugh after raging
Respawn & EA: *lets ruin our main character for our audience* 😂
i need more of the first two minutes rich :D greetings from germany

Pathy is the only reason i come back to the game. What a shame.. this game used to be so fun man
didn't think I'd see a jojo meme here
Loved that rant 😂
That rant was everything😂
This intro made my day
That was such a fun and true rant.
I’ll continue to play him, because he is my favorite legend since day one of apex. But man it kinda hurts playing him now, the whole fun part about him was swinging like spider man
I almost cried when I saw they nerfed our boy so badly
HE WAS BALANCED!!!
Preach! They’ve nerfed MY boy into the ground. AGAIN
I'm at the point where I've decided to only play when they introduce new characters, maps or mechanics.
I really want to know at this point who exactly are the devs and their leader cause i never want to play with any game they ever will manage in the future

Rich with the HARD TRUTH opening!
Epic Rant! I love it. Lol
They should only allow one damn support legend, 3 support legends is wild!
why dont they just give path 2 or 3 grapple charges and have 15sec or 20sec wait for a new one. and a new skirmish class perks
like, #1 for every cell popped, it reveal and highlight nearby enemies in a 5 meter radius, the bats in a 10 meter radius for 3sec, or #2 moving with weapon out speed, holster weapon speed , strafing speed , and couch speed increase. To what percent, i dont have a clue, maybe 5%. what yall think. Stupid pitch or was i cooking?
In the patch notes it said they saw the pick rate for path was too high. I wonder if maybe thats because he is fun to play???
we truly are living in the dumbest fuckin timeline ever because what did pathfinder ever do to deserve this? this hurts especially because i was there day 42 playing apex, and pathy was my main- the _audacity,_ how _dare_ they do this to my sweet boy
Mirage is so OP now, i love it.
Raging Rich is kind of refreshing.
Path nerf made zero sense and I don’t even play him.
I feel like I'm getting worse at the game when I'm NOT playing support because they have such a high advantage...
U know... pathfinder is a robot so he cant be gay thats why they hate him so much!
Ya but a human falling in love with a robot would be stunning and brave and super diverse
As a pathy it crushes me. We have been asking for more because of dealing with trying to be a agro character with such a big hit box. No one was worried about pathy who the hell is over at respawn with this enteral hate for pathfinder. I switched to Maggie, pathy is pretty much useless now in my diamond lobbies
The devs couldn’t hit a mega giga uber grapple like you after 5 years, so they had to nerf him Rich 🤷🏻♀️
Respawn needs to be like marvel rivals, buff everything make everything and everyone strong and fun, let the best man win
I've recently started playing Apex again after a long break and the changes to these support legends is insane 😅 Reviving and healing has never been faster and easier. I guess the devs want the fights to last longer?
I wonder if it's actually the old digi or just the current recon legend threat vision
2 v 3 teams in 2025 is insane work 👏🏾👏🏾 🔥🔥
Sorry my guy. That rant made my morning though 😃 pray for a gold helmet on drop....
Damn no see ya 5 seconds spicy rich😂😂😂
I think you should try The Finals. I think you’d really like it and it gives you waaay more content to post
The devs are just running this game into the ground
They definitely dropped the ball on the nerfed Digi-Threat..this season could’ve been one of the better ones but you know Respawn takes our disappointment as their pleasure 🙄
Amazing rant 😂

A1 video mayne
man i wish it was my job to paint or model little cameras
W intro.
If you watch at 13:27 you knock an ash with the car and your Ult goes from 14% to like 51% with that new hop up that’s on the car & G-7
Honestly would be fine with the cooldown nerf if it means Pathfinder can have two grapple charges.
Lmfao RichRants is a podcast I would listen to

Yeah as soon as you ads with the digi I was like wow it's not working no way he's to far
