A match full of fuckery

#1

Platform: PS4Pro
Map: Overgrowth
Class: Hunter

Some of the fuckery I’ve dealt with in my first match as Predator after a week off (patch 2.11);

  • While in the trees the Predator automatically threw my Smart Disc, exposing my position and leaving me open to attack. (@2:48)

  • While in the trees, Predator would randomly do a wristblade attack and I’d fall out of the tree.

  • After one such wristblade attack, my targeting laser activates and won’t disengage as I slowly float down to the ground into the Fireteams lap (@2:57).

  • After being hit by an ACIG or whatever, for the rest of the match my hearing is impaired by the constant sound of the cloak fizzling and crackling all the way until the end of the match (From 9:56 onwards).

  • Only one boar spawned the whole map. I did a whole lap of the spawn points, nothing spawned.

If I hadn’t had Height Advantage and Impenetrable perks, I would’ve been melted in the first engagement. Seriously, what the fuck were you thinking with this patch?

I haven’t played for a week, I come back and my first match as a Predator is a total shitshow of bugs and typical FT hunting Predator fuckery. Enjoy my pain…

At this point, they need to remove Reinforcement Radio. Fireteam have enough weapons, gear and DPS to deal with a Predator player. If they didn’t have the Radio as a crutch to fall back on, I reckon it would reign in alot of these Fireteams that pruposely hunt the Predator player and it would also make them think carefully about their consumption of supplies. As it is, they can go HAM at a Predator knowing they’ve got a reinforcement to fall back on that’ll bring them back fully stocked.

Granted, that team was coordinated and probably a premade so I was always going to be in for a tough match. I think I recognise two of the names there. Would they have been so ballsy with only one life, one chance to get the mission complete?

FT already has the advantage. Only the fact that there are newbies(and some not newbies) that cant hit the broadside of a barn or find medpaks or know how to reinforce makes it so that non-Elite Preds can win.

I’ve had your middle 3 points. I just kind of sit around until it passes or I die, but it’s not fun. Yesterday no weapons would deploy at all while my laser targeting stayed on.

Heh, I usually play “pubs” so I count on only having one life. Too many times have I seen my team run around like headless chickens for 7 minutes+ shooting at shadows and leaves.

Reinforce should definitely be disabled for 3-4 man premades. Which I guess there could be code to recognize that.

Poor Venn, you have my sympathy… :)

Dito! The whole nerf this, buff that discussion misses, that the real advantage ofthe FT is its nearly infinite health supply - if they play clever. Which mostly is just true for premades. Therefore premades should be able to play with different rules - but hey, they are already free not to use the reinforcement radio, right?

So all those people who complain about “FT is overpowered” and who just/mainly play FT are weird, if you ask me. If the Hammerhead is overpowered, you are free to just use the Z06 - for example…

Or have others waiting to play FT come into the match as actual new reinforcements
