Fire teams make up 4/5 people in every match.
They must still be fun and have a fear presence to the predator if they do get a nerf.
Otherwise if you make them feel weak and not worth playing, people are just going to search for predator even more.
Nerfs to the majority of what players play in matches is what can kill asymmetric games.
That’s what happen to deathgarden, They nerfed runners and made them very weak and required so much skill to be effective that casuals hated it so no one played them.
The fire team DOES need nerfs but in the right places which does not punish players for generally being good at the game.
