Basically most of players are dropping because that patch made fireteam even more broken than how it was in the past. Illfonic succeded in killing this game before 1 year. Their goal is close the servers and save money. They are doing very well.

I don’t exactly think that’s the goal.
Consider the amount of randoms vs coordinated FTs I think it’s an unintended consequence of trying to create incentive for FT play.
Too soon to tell the effects with randoms because frankly only 4 games I’ve yet to see a full squad loaded with specializations.

I forgot to put mine on for the first 5 games lol
Just did a bunch of games as predator
First game: randoms, 2 pc + 2ps4 they had the upper hand all the match, made some mistakes but now this type of match is 10 times harder
Second game: PC premade of people I know (russian PC death squad). I was tempted to leave the game but I decided to give it a try… LOL I got destroyed faster and harder than before

Man I can break this assumption with so many points. You wont help randoms by increasing the damage , I have played this game a lot and I saw how randoms play. They dont know where the Predator is, they dont hear him , when he is attacking their teamates they dont turn their visual to them for helping. Damage doesnt matter for randoms. It just breaks the game because only one good Fireteam player can solo kill a Predator now. They realeased million buffs for fireteam and nothing for Pred. They realeased a trash Predator class with a super trash weapon.

fun fact he is one of the best player around as pred and FT but he is bored and done to lose everything as pred against proplayer and done to win easly as FT against any predator because of the ridiculous damage

Fair enough
You said “Best Player” ?
lol
I definitely won’t argue the effect, I just think the reasoning behind it wasn’t to tank the game.
I’m not in a full tilt mood today so I’m just messing around with playing Predator, tomorrow I’ll try a little more to put these FT perks through their paces
I am playing with friends some pubs. I have more than 20 people online so I am changing people after some games every time. The game is not even fun if you play solo. The game is too easy for fireteam. The new class is horrible.

As both Pred and FT main who plays privates almost daily against top players from both discords (EU & Russian) - all I can say is that FT now is completely busted (when premades were already oppressive af). This patch once again proved how IllFonic are one, if not, the worst developers to ever try to balance asymetrical game.
You give FT all these ridiculous buffs and ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to the main star of the game? Get the f outta here.

That’s the longest word I’ve ever seen. What does it mean?
I’m the other way. I play an abysmal amount of private matches I’m almost exclusively random queued. I think the majority leans that way too. I understand the appeal and the difference of playing private matches but if the majority don’t play that way, they’re not going to give it proper attention.
I’m sure you’re right and that FT is unbearable OP after this patch with good coordinated players, but again so far the majority of people I’ve played with tonight don’t even know the new perks exist so it’s a massively disproportionate difference between the two worlds.

Roadmap says otherwise. Main issue is that the game is plagued by random and terrible design decisions and devs seem to only test among themselves before they send a busted ass patch to live servers then make it their goal to fix things a month or two later.
They don’t have a lot of experience balancing things and it shows, but its the community that has to suffer through this trial and error. The initial patch is always only whats considered fair by the dev team and it doesn’t seem like they play their own game much so every big update comes with gamebreaking weapons on the FT end or terrible predator classes.
I don’t blame them for not releasing a beta branch or w/e like DBD does but atleast stop releasing melee weapons and objectively bad classes that have nothing unique going on. I can’t imagine what’s going through their heads when they drop predator classes that are worse in all categories, so people playing it can gimp themselves for no reason at all. Have yet to find a more questionable design philosphy in a multiplayer game.
