Instead of parry

Can work ofcourse, but risky against decent FT.

Well I dont get parried often, because I work around that strategy. If you have your knife equiped you cant shoot, so you’re wide open to my other tools. If you have a gun out then I will constantly break line of sight and change my angle of approach. All about being unpredictable.

FT is very powerful, but not unbeatable if you use your head a little.

I feel we are debating nothing because I also agree they aren’t unbeatable. Far from it the predator has plenty of tools. My only point is saying parry is only a problem if you are bad is false. Every predator will have to deal with parrying. But I’m not saying whatsoever that ft is too strong

Ofcourse every pred has to deal with parry, its a core mechanic that allows ft to defend against melee rushers. Its a preds job to outsmart them, wich is fun imo.

…But they rip skulls and spinal columns out by hand. And in game they jump 30+ feet in the air flat footed. lol If you have access to Mexican supplements that’ll get a person to that level of strength, shoot me a source. I want some.

Bullshit. I’ve melted Preds that do this without a single player using parry. You don’t need it, nor should you have it. Concentrated gunfire is more than enough to push back a rushing Predator. You have 4 soldiers with hitscan weapons, each with a TTK at around 6-7 seconds by themselves. Multiply that by 4. How long is the Predator melee TTK? Not fast enough to get kills with all 4 firing at him that’s for sure. I’m so sick of people defending Parry it’s the dumbest most bullshit mechanic in the game. Keep it in fine. But you get 1 parry, then you’re done.

This ends up being an issue between low end play and experienced players. You remove parry and everyone starts bitching about zerkers swinging around combisticks again since zerk seems to be the braindead pubstomper & that single randomly thrown out parry saves the pub from being steamrolled.

Meanwhile on the other extreme a single ft member at a competitive level lands a single parry at 1/5th of his hp, switches weapons, and instantly melts you while kiting and popping health syringes, then you have to multiply this x4 & it gets ridiculous. But I feel like this is an issue with pred lacking a lot of openers aside from slam in sweaty matches like that.

It’ll come down to whether or not devs balance around pubs or plan to implement a ranked mode.

for got sakes the predator fell of a city building and got his hand cut off

you cant have a 4 v 1 ranked mode it f doesn’t work. Hows it going to play out honestly. Your gonna cap out on predator then start playing FT cause FT will win most games. Is it going to be ranked premades or ranked solo q. It literally not in favor of the predator at all considering he has the 1st gen weaponry of his race. even his disc travels a mere 35 mph. In movies it was over 200 mph. Ranked is def not going to work unless it 6 FT vs 2 preds. Just like LFD2 this game wont last more than 2 yrs enjoy it while you can.

In 2010’s Predators, the Yakuza dude has a sword fight with a Predator. So, it’s kinda canon.

Oh look, another player measuring balance on bad players. Try that on an actual decent player that only uses melee, but smart. See how much fun that is without parry.

I think you’re confused. Bad players need parry. Good players don’t. And nerfing parry isn’t going to allow bad players to rush. Good players can still melt a rushing Pred…if you ask me, it kinda sounds like you’re the one balancing for bad players.

Show me one that can use only melee against any decent fireteam.

Am I the one crying about a mechanic that has a easy way to work around? Nope.

Stop talking out your arse and git gud ffs.
You crybabies should find something else to do.

I know multiple players, even myself and Im not even fantasic.

Sigh, people always revert to name calling when they can’t handle someone disagreeing. You don’t have to be bad at the game to dislike a mechanic. A lot of players can play around parry. We just don’t like it and think it should be tweaked.

Just because you dont like it, does not mean it has to be changed. Adapt.

Do you dislike it when paper beats rock too and ask for tweaks? No you use scissors.

And just becasue you do, doesn’t mean people can’t have an opinion. This is a feedback forum. This is our feedback. We don’t like the mechanic. We’ve stated a millions different reasons why.

You say ‘we’, but that refers to a very small amount. The majority does not have a issue with it. The majority deals with it. Welcome to democracy. Can you now just git gud or will you keep crying? The game has other serious problems, give feedback on that.

Can you link me the poll? I’d love to see what the community consensus is.
