I donāt mind considering predator doesnāt get reinforcements and that reinforcements canāt be stopped by predator unless he kills everyone near them
So, when are they nerfing second wind? The only way to stop him is to kill him by hunting him down (even harder) and that thing has a CD, so you can use it multiple times, reinforcements does not.
They keep nerfing the FT, giving nothingā¦ I mean weāre in the 3rd new class for the preds, nothing given to the FTā¦ Do they expect people to keep playing it for what?

Second wind can be used multiple times? Iām not gonna lie I never knew that
Also they have dutch but what do you have as a idea for new fire team classes I was thinking maybe a ninja like Hanson maybe give them a sword or katana for as well

They gave Dutch and now weāre in the 3rd new class (city hunter) for the preds. In this time giving nothing to the FT. After Dutch preds should get something, then FT but nop, 3rd in a row its for preds. They need more tools. FT keeps getting nerfed, Preds keep getting content and indirect bufs.
I think fire team should get more attachments for guns more guns and maybe some new classes but I canāt think of any new classes besides famous people like Harrigan also harrigan handgun would be awsome
And think about it fire team vets reinforced the get all health and gear back predator second wind heals if he doesnāt get chased down he vets half his health back and no gear so Iād say itās fine where it is just leave it there
Yes but the predator could use it multiple times and presented no risks to himself. It was a flat second life. Of course he could be chased down and killed but most of the times the FT canāt catch up to anything but a berseker and even then its hard.
Now if you lose 1 man and reinforce you just wasted it for 1 guy. If you wait for 2 persons to dieā¦ In 20 seconds and the predator getās alerted to the exact positionā¦ If the pred is any good he has more then enough time to wipe the team. He can also set up traps assuming they do spawn.
I think to balance it more make traps destructible and make them let them do it more than once
You said it yourself the predator can be chased down and killed. You can most definitely catch up to all predators in second wind, you may just have to use Scout or Dutch with the right perks. Second wind may have a cool down but itās a long one, once youāve recovered you have to play carefully because most of the time thatās it.
With that logic a good FT wonāt use reinforcements on one guy and if thereās two people left then you can still be able to reinforce if youāre both smart/skilled enough. It only takes one guy to kill a predator.

@Xan84 To be exact it takes 2 min for the second wind cooldown to end lol thatās a long ass time the most I usually get if I happen to go into second wind is one more time. Fireteams can finish missions in 3 min or less š

2 mins with out getting hit markers on the ft. The more hit markers you get or downs the faster it recharges

Unfortunately, there are too many bad predators. This may be influencing illfonic toward strengthening predators and weakening the FT.
It is probably too late, but illfonic should have focused on making playing FT more interactive, interesting, and exciting. Then you throw the predator into the mix, but it should be challenging for the predator to actually eliminate the FT. Unfortunately, weāre stuck with unspotable, invisible, bow and plasma pistol spammers, with repetitive missions, unrealistic AI, and holding square but not seeing any nice animation, just a color changing hexagon.

To catch up with the predator means he is running in a straight line, not hopping over obstacles and hard to reach places. Its very unlikely a good predator is going to be tracked down before he getās the heal off.
I would love for the mentality that it takes 1 guy to kill the predator to die already. Yes, 1 guy can kill a predator if he just sit there and does nothing or the skill gap between the players is massive. A good predator is going to smoke 2 people, forget 1.
Pro team(premade) perhaps. Iāve seen predators end the game in less then 3 mins just as well (by killing the entire team) I run randoms and I think in general it takes around 8-10 minutes to finish. It depends if the predator harassed or not. Now it also does not even get to that point (only have 1 point on my weekly). The pred kills, or the team kills. Second wind gives him the possibility to go in, try to kill people and get out free. I call for reinforcements far, far, far less then I see predators pop second wind.
Ok then make melee not shit if you dont want all the good players playing ranged. What doesnāt count as spam to you? Melee canāt be strong because you die in four hits which feels unfair to you for getting tunneled. Ranged canāt be strong because it feels unfair to you when you get shot in the back and the rest of your team is potatoes. But the reality is you canāt get an unfront fight with the pred that feels fair like you want because the pred canāt win that. Itās ALWAYS going to feel unfair when you get shot in the back nothing is going to change that itās an asyim centered around cheesy stealth. You just get over it and go to the next game because the pred ultimately just had better aim and enemy management than your team combined w/ their 100 dmg dealt to pred on the scoreboard.
Why tf would anyone jump in & risk getting parried and melted for some single target damage, long animations, and being in melting range of every gun in the game? Because tell me the majority of your wins arenāt some dude thinking he can get 2 combistick or sword swings off and getting parried and dying because thats 80% of my wins only the preds using bow force me to actually aim at this point which is a minority. You just maintain line of sight on your shit pub hotmicing console teammates and wait for the pred to try to melee and mow him down with the LMG between objectives w/ very little thought and the pred doesnāt know what the fuck happened to his hp during a quick claim animation. Daily challenges done.
You say thereās too many bad predās then thereās clearly still a vast majority in this game that are still trying to use melee and losing in 4 minutes. If your invincible bow plasma pistol pred theory was valid and everyone was actually using bow to good effect winning trades with āno skill invis bow spamā their statistics wouldnāt still be reading as FTās winning most matches enough to justify FT never recieving buffs. Because one person has always been able to kill the pred if the pred takes around 5 seconds of fire to his non-regening hp, less with headshots, from any one gun nevermind if its a scout pred. Inb4 no the pred plays safe and disengages and eats muh pigs. Clearly the majority donāt and instead go for a claim and die.
