Just gonna drop this here.

Oh yeah, combistick I also run on scout and jungle hunter, just incase somebody gets ballsy and chases me when I go to heal.

What’s REALLY meta is Large Pouch + Medic on hunter or another class other than scout; you literally get all of your HP back in 2-3 seconds, it’s ridiculous pressure.

@Courier @OldKingHamlet
now that we’re at it I will add simple suggestions:
To properly balance the game vs tweaking it around casuals (which destroys its soul)

A)quick short time solution: with the current state of very high FT dps and durability, keep things where they are but:
-make the predator dead silent when cloaked unless he is close (no clicking), improve cloak to make it always invisible if he s 100m away or more

-> This would be a “patch” that could enable predators to actually try and stalk even coordinated FTs. Without this, currently a good predator has to rush, and engage&run to heal very often and very quick in order to win, and this is not very pretty, immersive or fun

-> it would fix the aforementioned problem with “low graphics cheaters” that can see cloaked preds on the other side of the map
->it would also give more reasons to choose UAV scanner and ACIGs

B)long term solution:
-more focus on FT stealth (i.e. better mudding) and on longer objectives, so that the main goal is to exfil, and discourage playing “chase the pred”. Objectives that force the FT to choose weather to split or not, with added risks to either option.
-more tools for predator to lure and split the FT, while making this very mechanic a requirement for victory (believable directional mimicry calls, ability to trigger fake bonus missions etc)

C) (mandatory?) tutorial for FT focused on teamwork in addition to more “tips&tricks”->makes randoms better, which probably is what this game really needs in terms of balance.

Finally, I might be off on this one, but I feel like suggesting this:
please play less FT and a bit more Predator, also in private matches between skilled players. It would help a lot

Thank you

Curious how this patch was looked at and given the okay by Sony?

They knew it was fucked up and sent it through anyway… Not a good look for you guys…

🤷‍♂️

the guy lost me as soon as he said the best class is support with thick skin

but at least the guy is honest i suppose

Matches like these are why I turned off crossplay as well as toxic PC players but initially I didn’t really notice the Pred Nerfs making a huge difference but now that everyone has settled, into a new FT meta on top of the fact the game is even more finicky than before its glaringly obvious at this point that Predator is significantly weaker on all fronts now. Normally I would say that my losses are due to my shortcomings bad aim, bad choices, or bad tactics, but after 9 matches as Predator using many different combos of weapons and perks and classes I barely won two of the matches and they ran almost the full time every match and I wasn’t able to claim anyone even if I wanted to I had to resort to downing them to death because that was my ONLY option and both matches I won they were able to reinforce which like the poster of the video said means all the time you just spent fighting gone. Its really rough to be a Predator Main RN and Dutch 87 dropping today will probably mean less wait times for Pred but how many of us will be having a good time I wonder?

He’s not very knowledgeable and is dishonorable. He made too many mistakes in gameplay and facts.

Well I’m just going to drop these here as well. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/727715061 https://www.twitch.tv/videos/727715062

Still going off about shadows…good lord are you feverish about it.

Congrats: he covered bow shots not hitting in the video, having terrible hitboxes, and also provided substantial evidence. You’ve added nothing to either side of this conversation. Well done.

I think he’s just a Bad Predator player

Those videos are for the people complaining not the video itself.

Or watch some of his other stuff, and come back and give me an actually informed opinion.
Also, “being bad” has nothing to do with the fire team being massively broke.

Yeah… @Thescoutpredmain is one of the best Predators out there. Go watch his other videos 🤔

Why do people always assume the best preds out there are just the ones who record? :/

I assume nothing. I watch his videos. No assumption required.
