This. I know we all tout that FT is OP, but that’s only when you have two or more on your team that know what they’re doing. Pred melee weapons are actually pretty fucking powerful, even wristblades. If you don’t have at least one other dude doing considerable damage while you’re getting wrecked, and your parries aren’t PC God level, you’re fucked. Can’t count how many times I’ve seen a teammate pot-shot the plasma rifle while running up to maybe get one knife slash in while my skull’s being ripped out by near-dead Pred cuz I missed a parry, and they jump away to heal and proceed to team wipe before reinforce. Its become habit and has been for years that if I’m running solo, my team is bait. It reeks of ego, but its true for maybe 90% of pub games: I’m the only one with a good loadout, I’m the only one who understands the game’s mechanics, I’m the only one with experience, I’m the only one who will win this for us. And match after match, as long as I’m not killed from bullshit (which is a lot), that’s what happens. Like I hate thinking like that, but I have to when running solo, I cannot rely on my team.
