Community Suggestions
Momonada232 proposes that the tin-can titan’s hitbox could do with a little reduction and suggests a “mini-fridge” size approach. Also, just for the giggles, a multi-directional grappling hook might not be a bad idea! (source)
Brave_towel_ thinks that healing on ziplines could be a useful, not OP add-on (source). While lettuce_field_theory emphasizes the fact that the developers are making deliberate choices regarding legend abilities and that if Pathfinder can’t do anything during a grapple, it’s intentional (source).
Developer Intent and Balancing Issues
There seems to be a sense that the Apex Legends’ balance team makes decisions based on character usage rates, not by their inherent power level as implied by Square_H2 (source). Alfons100 puts it bluntly: “If you get shot when grappling, that’s on you” (source).
Funny Fan Inputs
And to keep it light, DefensiveConjurer31 believes Ash should just use her tactical – and presumably her sword – while healing (source). While Blackfox2240 humorously redirects the request to Crypto (source).
This discussion highlights one integral part of Apex Legends – its continued growth and evolution keeps the community engaged, sparking debates like this. Wherever you stand, it’s this dynamic element that keeps Apex Legends players coming back for more, grappling hook or not.
