Yep that kinda shit. Really difficult to deal with if your in a bad state from the fight prior to running away.
Please enlighten me

Yeah I hate how much of a viable strategy that is. About a month or 2 ago I discovered if at least 2 of us are chasing the pred down while he’s running in second wind it’s almost a guaranteed win. They either have to keep running which means the timer goes down and they get downed or make a risky heal. At least the leap helps with that a bit.

Worst feeling as pred is taking a sniper shot and watching that bar chunk away while you are running. Next thing you know you are in an ai camp hoping ai dont walk into you and spray you down while healing. Meanwhile you can hear the ft huffing and puffing like fat people on a treadmill 10 feet around the corner.

At least the game has the fear factor. Just on the wrong side lol.

I just wish the game could have been different yenno? I hate how they went about balancing this game.
And worst of all… I hate that its too late. This fucked up style of gameplay has attracted the wrong crowd and now we can never get back on track because doing so would be playerbase suicide.
This will never be or feel like a true predator game. It will always be the action shitfest it is. Thats why i dont work on my rework anymore.
Too little too late. Almost everyone who wanted something different are gone. And they aint coming back. And soon ima join them tbh.

Hell man… The forums arent even enjoyable anymore because everyone like me is gone. Im like one of the few survivors of this predpocalypse.
Now theres a new breed that you cant talk to properly about anything because they are so horny for this current fucked balance/gameplay that they dont ever want that to change.
Thats why just like the people like me. Just like my rework guide. Just like the potential this game had. All of it is dying out or dead

You’re not wrong, 99.99% of public fireteams are potatoes. Although there’s a small percentage of 00.01% premade russian squads that are literally undefeated for months now.

Well they are Russian they only have three things they can do, Play Video games, Drink Vodka, and Fist fight bears while on horseback. So yeah those try hard Russians are going to be godlike
As someone who plays both sides (and is a PS4 player btw)
as a predator on average i lose about 2 games per week aside from that they are all wins those 2 games are also typically the 2 builds a that i’m worse at playing cause i find them fun but they aren’t “good”
however i also play FT specifically in premades but not in Private games unless a specific predator reaches out to us for a rematch or to practice or if it just so happens we have too many people on which pretty much never happens
in those fireteam games we on average lose 2 games out of 100 usually because we get lazy and start prioritizing VT farm over actually doing the mission or fighting the predator when were focused the predator doesn’t stand a chance it’s actually laughable especially now
the primary reason behind this issue is fairly simple this patch was primarially done to help pubs stand a chance against the predator
the pitbull literally has the same stats as pre nerf hammer head it also bypass bullet dmg resistance from impen or the passive resistance from hunters/scouts
anti cloak grenade allows you to not have to worry about being blind
the new buffed perks gives more hp more dmg more speed making every single FT class better
the new PDW buff allows you to solo a predator in 2.5s or less depending on buffs if they get near you
it is unviable to wield melee weapons in a single swing a pdw could take 40% of your hp away like what the fuck
there is a AOE device with 2 uses per game that spots the predator if he is nearbye so he can’t heal anymore if you have a scout or recon with this item (fun fact with double time scouts/recons are faster than predators that aren’t scouts actually (i’ve done this in public games where i literally chased a hunter from overgrowth the temple where you burn the drugs to the ruins on the otherside) so if you dont leap to a location where it isn’t possible for a FT to get you you are dead so that sucks that the game can end on one mistake
all the other guns that were good are still the same still killing predators in between 9 shots or 4 seconds
there are 4 dudes compared to 1 dude
lots of predator players claimed they won most if not all of their games clearly with the new changes they now know that they actually weren’t that good or as good as they thought my premade has faced quite a few preds that talked alot of shit and they get humbled when they find out how fucking trash they are
and were a PS4 group everyone on my team avg dmg’s around 900
right now all the tools are in place for a single FT to carry their teams
all they need is the knowledge of the class they should be building and the ability to aim or at least to hear

Imo this patch was not to ‘help’ it’s because ft members (even though there are 4 of them vs 1) need their hands held.
So basically one ft member should be more powerful than the predator? You heard it here folks! Kameo confirms it’s actually Fireteam: hunting grounds!
I’m sorry but need to be honest: the changes were only made because of whiners on both sides that’s the only reason nerfs exist to begin with, common intelligence would tell anyone with half a brain that one side has to win or lose and in a pvp game, especially this one, on both sides you have to possess tactical intelligence. Learn as you play, neither side NEEDS their hands held like they are 5 year old children crossing the street.
I guarantee you starting this week or next you are going to get an influx of even more netgun and melee predators, I’m one of those preds that likes to mix up between range and melee but ya nerf range weapons 🤷🏼 Karma.
Then the whining about melee weapons is gonna start, net gun is gonna get nerfed then bear traps get nerfed etc etc it’s a vicious cycle till eventually they alienate too many people and things go down the drain.
You know, I’m just throwing this out there to everyone: now that many players understand the game mechanics I would be very curious to see what would happen if the game were reverted 100% to launch status 🤔
Launch was still kinda iffy and unbalanced but damn was it nowhere near as bad as this. I’ll take launch’s balance over this fuck fest anyday.
It’s simple science my good man. For every action, there is an equal but opposite re-action.
NERF FT!!!
The only thing that needs to go back to launch is the dam caster. I need my one shot back. I need to be able to hit that back shot on a unexpected ft player and down him. Also the caster stealth kill needs to be a straight disintegration
yes that’s called helping like when you help a toddler walk by holding their hand
judging by the choices the dev’s have made in balanceing yes that’s the way the devs think we’ve been complianing about FT damage numbers since 1.06 nothing has changed in that regard but predator has recieved nerfs and LMS was added this implies the devs believe it is ok for a single FT to be just as powerful if not more so as the predator at least in the dps department
also it’s already been stated the devs don’t want predators to do nothing but melee rushing so melee as it is will never be viable against good teams
now why did they also want to nerf ranged weapons? i guess because as FT it doesn’t feel good to get one shot by something they can’t see/react too as stealth play is unfun to play against ask anyone who plays mobas/mmos and they’ll tell you it’s true
even though it was their CHOICE to play a low hp class but i guess that’s not a good choice therefore it must be fixed
i guess however berserker will never recieve that same treatment as most of the devs play FT judging by the 2 streams i’ve seen them do
This DESTROYED Evolve’s playerbase and made no one want to play monster because hunter was easier, but i’ll wait and see how the new gamemode goes. PS4 pubs are managing like 1k dmg each just poking with the new bane. Even if it feels like they’re barely hitting you, you’re at half hp so there’s nothing to do besides bunnyhop around with ranged weapons.
You can’t maintain queues if the game is so sweaty most people play 1 or 2 matches and then tap out.
