It takes me seven to eight games to get warmed up, and I at least accidentally down one person per match.
I would rather wait an extra four minutes for match making if there was a ranking system.

Nah…kinda just made a thread about that in Feedback.
FT got all kinda new cool shit to play with. Pred got two whooping sticks and a stabby slice. Which is great if you like short matches

I don’t find Predator boring, but maybe that’s cause I’m a Hybrid player. My problem with playing Predator is that they doesn’t feel powerful, despite the fact that they are when built right. Predator’s only tools to break team cohesion is either bamboozling them with Audio Decoys or spamming FT Voice Lines which literally never works against Pre-Mades and even less than half the time against randoms; or having successful early engagements that result in a FT Death or at least multiple downs and wasted resources for them. Meanwhile, FT has gotten multiple tools to counter Cloak and even to Overload their Energy Supply, instant spotting that also spots nearby resources that can cover a whole camp, temporary spotting mines, not to mention tools that would even allow a FT to survive being Downed with their own Self-Revive. All of these Tools strengthen or are designed to strengthen team coordination. And I haven’t even talked about Specializations like Field Medic, Leader, Overseer, etc.
The minute Predator getting tools like Pred Hounds for disrupting team coordination or cohesion with other forms of attack that doesn’t expose him to these tools that he would otherwise be exposed by with no possible option for recourse, playing Pred will feel much more powerful.

There’s no interesting play styles happening. And nothing makes you feel like you’re hunting them. You feel like you’re in a race against the clock to thirst someone so they don’t just finish obj and leave

Oh it’s not even about that.
Like, they want ft to have the advantage.
Ok, whatever.
But then at least make it fun to play pred regardless.
Like the sniper idea I had for pred would be great.
I cant see anyone winning matches with it. But it would be fun as hell to be 200 meters away sniping as pred.
Elemental effects.
Flashy cool looking shit.
Like if we cant get effective, then let us have cool shit.
I know a lot of ppl wont agree cause the majority of ppl cant have fun unless they win,
But if were gonna be forced to be at a huge disadvantage, let us have fun in other ways.
But it’s not just pred, ft is boring too.
I dont think ilfonic can do it, but,
This game needs an overhaul.
Rework.
Make both sides stronger so both can get more cool shit to use.
Pred should feel really bad ass and strong,
More agile and whatnot.
And ft should honestly play like the pilots from titanfall.
That would make ft fun for a really long time.
But preds got to actually be a threat tho that.
I’m rambling but, this is literally how I’ve felt for months now.

Que npc line-
“I DIDNT SIGN UP FOR THIS SHIT”
Newbies and childs seem to flood the random matches at the moment. At least this is my impression. The average skill level of the random team mates has decreased noticeable, if you ask me. Same for the predators.
If you have 3 noobs in your team, you do not stand a chance against good predators, that’s a pity. Destroys all the fun…
Cheers
PS: what I miss most is the option to play AGAINST a friend in a match, where the fireteam has been filled up by randoms. Let’s e.g. say drugstor799 vs Bonator + 3 randoms. There is no mean to do that, right?
It is getting boring. The changes to the smart disc made things fun for a while but then that got boring after a while too. Illfonic needs to give some new weapons and gear items to the Predator, that will definitely spice things up.
I already apologized 😅

Fucking thing still doesn’t work. Buggier than ever. Constantly getting stuck on invisible shit or stuck in speed mode.
I didn’t experience that many bugs after it got buffed to be honest. It’s definitely a lot easier to use now but I still wouldn’t take it against a premade.

Agreed on that last point. Still utterly useless against good players.
I get that. Like honestly in every predator movie he loses lol. Like one guy is supposed to overcome. So i guess it’s cool sometimes for someone to kill you/get out. But it’s definitely not even cool playing the predator. You don’t feel intimidating you feel like a rodent. You leap around being as cheesey as possible with spamming plasma or bow then run away. It’s not exactly a bad ass vibe playing the predator lol. Like, I know you don’t like dbd. But atleast when I’m pyramid head in DBD I definitely feel like people are intimidated by my presence.
I for the most part agree with you, but in dbd they only fear you cause they cant fight back.
Plus because the killee cant straight up murder you LIKE they should be able too, there isnt really anything to fear.
However. That said.
For me it’s not about being intimidating or having ppl fear me.
I just like a straight up fight.
Besides if I’m talking in game I’m cracking jokes so I dont think ppl would get a chance to feel too tense.
Usually I am anyway.
But, i cant stress it enough.
Just have it feel fun to play pred.
Even if we dont kill the entire ft,
As long as we can do some cool flashy shit,
And not have to be overly cautious as we have to be now, the game will be funner on both sides.
I really just want the classes to actually feel different and unique.
I’m sure most ppl would love that for both sides.
I kinda even wanna make a post about it.
But given that ilfonic wouldnt the very least discuss why or why not they would do or considering something, I see no point.
Imagine, zerk actually playing like a berserker,
Able to actually afford focusing heavily on aggressive melee, and not hit and run.
And im not really talking zerk+combi,
I mean more with heavy impactful melee attacks and abilities that make sense.
Like pushing ppl off their feet,
Grabbing and throwing,
Powerful punches, maybe a heavy kick.
And then hunter being of a primitive type hunter,
Making the bow his main weapon, and he can use different arrows, and also focuses on traps.
Instead of slam, he could get some kind of snare ability or something.
And scout can be high tech scouting unit.
Have him use different drones and other tech.
This is just a very rough idea.
Though I have kinda mentioned it before.
Cause I think what ppl fail to realize is, if the preds are made stronger, and more effective, then obviously ft is going to need more tools/ toys to defend themselves.
Sorry for the long ass post and kind of repeating myself lol, but I feel this would add way more fun to the game than a simple map or new weapon.
Very much a fan of all this. Like berserkers strikes should feel like they have weight behind them. Like throw you on the ground when he hits you. (Kinda like concrete jungle when you just fling bodies around) and also, if you wanna be able to just straight up murder people in dbd. Play Myers. He literally can do that lol
