Last Man Standing is in no way a Buff, is a Nerf

#1

So a lot of people been complaining of the Last Man Standing “buff”… Let me tell you something, it is in no way a buff.

Your “improved stats” are just more speed. There is no health bonus, there is no damage resist increase, there is no damage inflict bonus. If you have the double speed perk, it doesn’t stack up. It makes mudding up worthless since you are clearly visible and subject to target isolation. I was literally hiding behind a wall away from the pred’s line of sight and he was able to isolate me and find me before I could reinforce my team. I know I was out of his sight because he was claiming a team mate in the other side of the camp far away from me when I hid behind a building in Derailed.

Not that I am complaining about it. I actually like it so scrubs cannot go hiding the rest of the match anymore… but it is in no way a buff.

Agreed.

Illfonic gets points for the idea but the actual execution, leaves something to be desired.

Someone broth this up and they claimed that it increases other stats just as well. Perhaps they did a poor job of implementing it and it is supposed to give you other bonuses.

We tested it in private matches. Whoever said it is just lying.

LMFAO

really? Then why don’t they state any numbers?

I honestly don’t trust these developers. For a long time Yautja’s bane didn’t do any damage increase and OWLF training didn’t reduce any damage. Every patch introduces more bugs than fixes. I don’t take anything they say seriously. They flat out lie to our faces.

A nerf tho?

#8

Well yes, considering mud does nothing the odds of you reinforcing if you’re alone have massively decreased… Its a big nerf…

#9

I haven’t noticed yet but I’ll take your word for it.

I don’t think the last Man should glow in thermal vision. There should be no change. Or at least not as drastic.

While I think the last FT should fight the pred, they shouldn’t be forced to because it’s a game and we need all the variety and choices we can get.

I have not taste it myself, someone else tested it and said you appear on isolation scan just as well.

Yep bright as day tested it and you said it right like you’ve got no mud, though it isnt a nerf if you know where the radio is and leave before you’re last man getting close to the radio for reinforce as you become last man and the speed patch is kinda nice

#12

You would need to separate and go in the middle of nowhere FAR before everybody dies. It takes what? A minute before the damn radio even pops up? There is no way you can hide.

If you do that you just sabotaged your team.

#13

Or you hope that you can outrun the pred for the 90 but yeah it makes it way harder you almost hope they have to hunt for a pig you gain a distance advantage but again its ultimately harder to reinforce as last man then ever before it’s really stupid, effectively this helps that muddled ass who camps all match get caught but hinders a team that works with each other to have to reinforce while there is still two people and that last man only happens when the pred is a beast

#14

Last man standing really is a handicap for the Fireteam imo, the visual effect around the screen makes your vision worse, the audio effect of your pulse makes you not able to hear the Predator when it’s near. Why make it harder to play when you’re the only one alive? as if it’s not hard enough to have 3x PS4 players with you and a PC Predator as your opponent.
The buffs you get from LMS is hardly noticable, especially if you already have the move speed increase perk.
Wouldn’t it be better if they removed all those effects, buffs, body heat and instead put a “spot” marker above eachother’s heads so nobody can hide?
Or simply go back to the way it was before, at the moment it’s bullshit.

i had no idea this was a thing. This might be why the last member of the FT always seems a little more panicked than pre-patch? lol

#16

No but it was a Very much needed nerf i’d say cant tell you how annoying it is to spend ten mins runing around the map hoping to bump into the last guy, so i’d argue the point, GOOD! fuck hiding

#17

Totally agree. That was my last sentence. But I read a lot of people saying buff and that now it was impossible to beat a FT and that they could 1v1 you easily… I don’t know what game these people are playing.
