Blades or an additional gadget which you can thrown in and bounce off the walls or something dealing damage would be sick. I agree roof slam is op u can do point blank slams over and over. If they change it however room meta is going to be awful. The counter will be fireteam wont get any objectives done.
Energy-Slam EXPLOIT - IllFonic please fix it ASAP
Yes! I have noticed that! It has only happened to me once but yeah that does need to be fixed. It does seem to be rare, I use my energy slam fairly liberally and only experienced this once, but it’s absolutely worth addressing.
Don’t fix it, Predators need all the help they can get.

you mean he hit the guy with two arrows and slamed him and it killed him? your right op
Get good, then maybe people will listen.
I’m fine with the weird t-pose slide getting fixed but do people really get roof slammed and then decide to stay in the building for an entire 8 seconds so they get slammed again? This is why you have sprinting syringes.
You could just walk outside and shoot the pred & play the game since slam is terrible in the open - instead of standing in four corners of a building encircling your 4x medkits covered at all angles for three minutes.
Medkits shouldn’t be 0 risk and they already take like 2 hits from a plasma caster to destroy just for you to throw out another one immediately.
As someone who generally plays as Pred 90% of the time I can agree the current conditions for the slam are very exploitable and in favor of our favorite crab-faced alien boi (who wouldn’t want him to win though?! just look at that face! 💕)
Although…I must admit that when Meathead Patrol (what I call FT) start spot spamming, attempting to knife rush, or attempt to hide under the floorboards of that pesky hut where the pred can’t get to them, it’s generally very satisfying to slam spam them on the building roof until they’re yummy pancakes 😂
ft crying love it
Yeah. My pred is beautiful.

it doesn’t matter vs a good fire team. There a time to use it and a time not to use it.
This is a thing?
Gonna go NOT try it real quick ;)
Joking ofc…
WIth FT trigger macro exploits, this makes things even don’t you think?
This is the only thing now that pred can fight overpowered FT
Well luckily most FT dont use coms and are generally bad. It sucks, because I can bully bad FT all day, then I get a group that knows whats up and get SMOKED… there’s like NO gradient.
Oooft! Why is there no portable roll-out red carpet in the Preds gear? Level 110 future unlockable I’ll bet? 😏
So what I’m hearing is you want preds to do a cat walk and model? I’m down.

It took you 2 days to think of a reply? And its the famous “git gud” one. Woah. Cute.
Let me know once you’ll be in state of mind to address my arguments, clown. As for “git gud”.
Sharpy_47 is my epic ID (said that before, and you know it). We play on discord with coms. You are welcome to invite me to games and prove me wrong, dumbass. And let me record that shit lol
Sorry for the copy and paste guys, but this is my take on the issue, pulled from a thread that got flagged because people are too inconsiderate to have a discussion on it…
I do feel like this is a 100% an exploit and not working as intended, yes you can argue that it is an animation cancelling, with that argument I would like to see what animation cancelling is as broken as that for the FT? yes ok, you can switch weapons before the reload animation has finished but ok, you shave a minuscule amount of time off said animation, the leap slam root is a good couple of seconds long how is that a fair trade?
It doesnt help that with the buff to the slam in 1.06 the FT now gets blinded and slowed, adding to this the now “iceskating” predator it is more difficult for the FT to gain distance on the pred before they start swinging (yes I know they cant attack straight out of the animation cancel but being on top of a fireteam member ready to attack is still unfair).
This also goes for the Pred trying to flee from the FT, lets say that the pred leap slammed and managed to hit all 4 FT members, thats around 400 damage, that is enough to down 2 of the heaviest FT members (supports) when even running owlf training and thick skinned (not possible because of perk points) understandably that damage is shared between the FT but do you see where I am going with this? The FT has effectively been brought to a pool of 2 man hitpoints, this is a devastating attack if used right and the fact that it can now be countered out of an “animation cancel” is beyond ridiculous.
Everyone that is defending this exploit really need to take a look at this and understand why the FT does not like to see this abused. If you are angry that the pred feels underpowered at the moment I understand your frustration, I would like to see the pred buffed in some ways to make them more “scary” I am sure someone has used before but this is just so broken that yes it makes you feel unstoppable but is it really fun to exploit something that so clearly gives you a much bigger advantage over the other side?

I am hoping this is intended, as an aware FT seems to be able to easily avoid most (if not all of the damage) just by moving away when the Predator is leaping in, or doing enough damage to the Predator to cancel the splash damage effect.
Canceling the animation allows the Predator to get out and not be a sitting duck like they are in many of the other animations they have. Or yes, get into position to continue their push.
Maybe add a little roll or a proper slide animation to the end of it for style points.
As far as comparing this to the the FT reload animation cancel as not a “fair trade,” I am curious what would you consider being a fair trade?
I cannot think of any animations that the FT has that “lock” them in place for 2+ seconds and inherently place them in danger. Scope Aiming? Reloading? Jumping? Landing? Using Grenades? Using heal syringes? Parrying? Knifing?
Most interactions take a couple of seconds, but they do not inherently place the FT in danger. Especially in the same manner the Leap Slam does with the Predator. I think most interactions can also be cancelled?
If I am wrong on any of these points, please correct as I do not really play FT.
