[Balance Issue] A Single FT melts a Predator in approx. 2 Seconds - Example Clip provided

#47

I’m well aware, I’ve had to endure your endless complaints in gamechat remember 😝🤣

#48

Just wait until they do the 2v8 thing, if it’s unbalanced now then that is going to be a riot. I think Kameo said that if you had 8 people with the SAWZ and Vector then it’s game over for the Pred.

#49

I was asking kame. Maybe he knows. Cause I genuinely do not fucking understand.

Because it’s hard for most FT to admit that they’ve got the game stacked in their favour. As long as they keep winning, they can delude their ego believing their some amazing gamer. If they admitted the truth, that would then negate their wins and they would actually have to get good… I don’t see that happening anytime soon.

Here is the damage comparison. This damage was caused by double granade plus the entire magazine of Vektor and the Predator wasn’t even downed, he left with 10/20% more or less.

Alot has changed since that video was made

#54

You can read patch notes damage of weapons are still the same of this video

#55

And I don’t think they silent buff vektor to one shot predator in one mag, since you can see as your self in the video. It was doouble granage plus almost one magazine and was still alive.

The primary reason most people i’d assume can’t get it is the same reason alot of predator players talk so much shit until they get in the private games

since they never run into the issue in the majority of games it must not be real but when it happens in that one game that’s an outlier so it must be a problem it’s why people have an issue with PC deathsquads

that and i suppose in quite a few movies predators tend to lose in the 1v1s so they want to believe that it’s ok that a predator loses to a single no name soldier and ego… maybe lots of ego

same can be said for duel plasma bursts on any FT member with 2 elite preds
They can just spam fire plasma cannon all day. 2 things can happen… the preds work together to slowly dwindle each FT member down or they get wiped leaving 1 v 8… although it would be some elite play to see the pred take on a 1 v 8. Vector is dogshit vs a well trained pred… youll be lucky if he gets within 50m to use its shit poor dmg

just a sway on it is good enough and easier to implement.

What do you think the percentage of pre-made teams are there… 1%, maybe 3%…

So 97% percent of the players don’t actually need that 3%, but those 3% who are so good, they can win every match need those 97%.

And you think that you’ll have a player base if all the random’s start losing every match cause you got what you want. Seems like that will work out real well.

Course I don’t think the game is all that unbalanced right now on PS4 with random’s, you win some you lose some. I can’t speak to PC with Pre-mades who I don’t think matter in the grandeur scheme of things.

You are probably correct however i don’t like balancing games for the lowest quality players unless the game experieance is soo bad that it must be changed such as bear traps should be destructible however

otherwise it should be assumed over time the player base gets better handling any low end problems until they hit the meta where premades are at right now which should be balance’s it’s the dev’s responsibility to change it accordingly for the health of a long multiplayer games lifespan

the game is a 1v4 game not a 1v1 game a single FT member should not be capable of killing a predator in less than 6 seconds or with 7 rounds of a sniper let alone taking the mask in 2 shots
Hell i was against melee getting nerfed after the second time cause i thought it was easy enough that it should exist so baddies can deal with melee predators until they learn there are guns that kill the predator before he can even finish a full combo

I think you should suggest other modes then.

Balancing it the way you want doesn’t include those weaker players, which is where most players start. Spend your energy helping the devs figure out a competitive mode. We need one and the tournament players are the Pred-made’s that need it most.

I do get your position, but I also care about game health and there are some glaring issues with modifications to Hunt to balance at that level of play.

Good chat.

standing still long claim. Basically any weapon will second wind the pred in that state. It isn’t unbalanced, just a dumb move by the pred. I’ve second winded Preds with the pump action when they go crazy melee on me. Not even have to parry. Stupid gameplay is punishable by death.

#65

This is so important, most of pred OTP complain because they jusy suck, if illfonic make the predator that op to beat even high skilled players premade then the game will lose 99% of fr players base because in pubs against random it will be beyond broken.

One of the dumbest posts i’ve seen so far. “Melting a Predator in 2 seconds”? While video shows a Predator who most likely has been damaged by the Fireteam player it just claimed, then standing still, taking 2 grenade explosions together with the Vector. This is the same thing as claiming that the Glock one shots a Predator if you’re the one who makes the final hit.
