I’m speaking in general
If everyone would be using sixth sense , yes, but not all people do, and some still don’t see the traps. Still they can play as good crowd control mechanic. I mean, there’s excuses and excuses and so on, but after all , all items are usable in their own way. I don’t care if they see my trap, good, now I know what “road” they can take. They can slash the net gun? then I’ll trap someone who’s not as close to the others. I mean, just don’t use items in a spammable way ,use them strategically.
Everything has it’s purpose , find it. Don’t spam them and think they’ll always work.
I’ve had soooo many encounters with predators who spammed the net gun or the plasma cannon, like constantly, and we all escaped the net because they weren’t doing anything else, and we found a way to avoid the plasma cannon at some point, and they eventually died because of it ( I have to mention that they were really, really trying) . What were they waiting? For us to die because of net? Heck no.
This is just my opinion. Don’t spam weapons , use them wisely.
( Not to mention every Predator that I sniped because they were literally standing on the rooftops all the time, trying to kill us with the plasma cannon/bow, this happens way to often and then they are asking how’s possible they died [literally heard one in-game, saying that the game is trash because he shouldn’t have died – we were fighting for 6 straight mins – , while he was shooting at us from the same spot the whole time]. Change tactics man, don’t spam plasma from a rooftop all the time because it’s working for a time, but not for long, unless people cycle through tactics )
You like being a hunter and not the prey, think as a hunter.
Again , this is just my opinion and everything I said is in a general way and I’m not referring to anyone in particular. I might be wrong but please feel free to use creative criticism.
