What are some ideas to rebalance it, so its somewhere in between where it was and where it is. Id say a simple fix could be a nerf to the heavy swings initial damage just keep dropping it till it feels right. dont touch lights or tracking :)

nerfing the speed you can go from a heavy to a light and vice versa might also help seems more complicated though
Leave the axe, make the war club type 1 and the valk basic attacks unparryable so people actually use them. Mayhaps, make the axe overhead parryable?
- Fix the glitched damage on light hit after heavy hit.
- Make heavy hit consume all stamina
- Remove either bleed damage or stun effect.
That’s enough.

Well, the Hammer is rendered useless by the current Light Attack rate of the Axe.
I would reduce the Light Attack rate, then make the initial damage equal to the Hammer, so the incentive to use the Axe would be the bleed damage.
The Katana, Elder Sword, and War Club need a 15 to 20% increase in Attack Speed to be on the same level as the Axe(a nerfed version), Hammer, Sickle, and Hook.
Just hit the Predator with bullets, FT weapons are more overpowered than the Axe, its only good for 1v1s.
Unless FT dmg is nerfed the Axe deserves to stay that away.

Gotcha so the solution I’ve come up with is that all weapons for both sides will be removed.

Either nerf dmg on both sides or nope. Fireteam just needs to shoot the Predator and he might go 2nd wind before he even manages to hit someone with the heavy attack. Problem is that most fireteam players are too bad to even a hit a target with hitscan weapons.

I’d say: nerf the speed/tracker of the heavy attack and the glitch of the light attack after the heavy attack.
Yes. Nobody wants to fight brain dead potato Pred players who only use a single weapon the entire match.
One of the best players against what is clearly a noob weak player that only thing he does is mash attack buttons recklessly is definitely not the best example to illustrate your words.

Sam likes to role solo sometimes though and pubs is no man’s land
You take it for face value but there’s a few more things to read into if a player is steam rolled do to experience difference

Axe is annoying
Pred should be annoying
Yes is bugged. I’d say fix that because is faulty, but I don’t think it will make a difference against the vast majority of players

That’s like 90% of the players running the Axe. The dude wasn’t a complete potato, I have played vs him multiple times solo, he just doesnt know that melee isnt the best option.
Doesn’t matter how good someone is, you try to use Axe there is always risk of getting melted.
I played a match with some bad melee build someone asked me to and of course since there were 2 okay pc players on the match I was getting melted fast. Everyone gets fucked while trying to go melee vs fts that know how to aim.

I know. What i’m saying is that that a top tier FT player against a potato Pred is definitely not the best example for a person who is trying to prove Axe is an easy weapon to fight against.
Also, Samhain itself already uploaded a video of him playing as Pred with the Axe against a premade FT and demolished them easy, what makes that idea counterproductive.
Really? Cause that playstyle is really noobish. That was really reckless. A good Pred would hit those missed melee attempts or get out of there to try again instead of getting hit like that.
That’s melee in general. Just smash a button and hope for the best.
No cus FT can dodge the attacks and the tracking has issues. Doesn’t matter how good the player is or how well he tries to position himself and time it to hit the fireteam, he can still miss because of things out of his control. It doesn’t really take much skill to hit melee attacks, its mostly luck.
