Anyone can literally point blank throw the stick and down you or follow it up with one slash and down you… lol
Maybe change it to a momentum style projectile?
Gets more damage the further you throw it? Gains momentum the further its tossed?
If someone hit me with a combi throw at a distance and downed me. I’d happily applaud their efforts.
Point blank throwing takes literally 0 skill…
Dont see the sport in throwing a javelin 2 feet away from someone… sorta reminds me of the roof slam.
I would say yes to this if
I do wish it had more of a heavy front end (drop off) instead of a “flying forever” flight path lmaooo
Sounds good, but at the same time lets give FT guns real recoil, physics and ballistics – right now its like shooting freaking laser guns.
I agree! Projectile based to even the playing ground.
Dont mess with the damage or buff anything. Changing the way the game is played will have an awesome refreshing feeling imo.
I’m 100% for that - make it less arcade!
Also would love to see some more of what the first questionnaire mentioned.
I want to feel stronger as the pred, but not resort to quick kill/game ending mechanics.
I want to be more afraid as the FT and SWEAT more.
This is a good thread. Hopefully the devs notice 🤔
First time I’ve tagged oldman.
Hear he reviews the forums quite a bit!
Cries… dodge it. Its a trade off. If its a ranged throw over 30m and does 200 dmg then id be like lets do it
Hard to dodge when preds actively jump 2 cms away from you and aim the shoot.
Literally no time to dodge.
Hence why I’m suggesting a range/reward trade off.
Instead of having the zerker combi mentality of jumping in and aimlessly throwing.
Laws of physics the closer you are the more force that spear would have.
Okay well this is video games…
You here to converse or go off topic?
I hate this shit but damn it’s no different than being close and netting em or that cheap disc play some do.
buuuuut I do it to those that get salty
I mean, considering how shit pred melee is for most of his weapons, i cant blame people for tossing that combi stick like a salad. Realistically it should be doing high damage, but there needs to be a downside. Either ft needs to be able to destroy it when its thrown, or it needs to break after a few throws.
Its on topic. A alien that can throw a spear over 2000m doest matter. The facts are… if you aint near your ft then your toast
Alternatively they melee you with the stick and get parried, why melee with it instead of just throwing it these days?
And making the spear bad at everything will just shift power to point blank disc throw. There’s always going to be an el cheapo 100-0 combo because it takes too long to down a support otherwise. Or they reduce the damage of consecutive hits in which case pred can eat shit.
Next week, wrist rocket will be flavor of the month.
No lol this is a good thing don’t make combi get nerfed again pls
Coming from a good player who plays both sides
Combi throw isn’t always affective
Very easy to dodge when moving
Very hard to hit a moving player
Doesn’t kill them immediately like it should…
Combi melee is now trash cuhz at the beginning none of us new how to effectively avoid being raped in melee now pred melee is a joke so the nerfs don’t
Help
NOW ZERK ISNT EFFECTIVE AT ALL AFTER NERFS ECT
End of story no more nerfs pls just added things to counter shit like combi throw (maybe a riot shield? But down side is only being able to use a pistol and instead of a knife it’s the shield mind you the sheild will also blocc melee) -just an idea
It could do with a minor nerf, adding damage modifiers depending on range is a minor nerf.
Throwing the stick from 1-3 feet to supplement melee damage defeats the ranged purpose of the weapon. Predators should not need to rely on an unintentional meta-mechanic to be win against a FT member in melee. Its just like quick-scoping in the old COD games it doesn’t belong and shouldn’t be acceptable or encouraged simply because it is an often used tactic by players.
Before the parry is OT argument comes out it really is not. I play more FT than predator and I’m struggling with parry recently. It does nothing but delay the inevitable point where the predator breaks through and puts you down. It essentially ties the predator up like a tank while you rely on team mates to inflict damage. At this point if the predator is being tanked by someone who is lucky enough or skilled enough to continually block his melee head on he should remove himself from melee and focus on hitting his enemies from behind, use hit and run or actual ranged weapons, instead of furiously button bashing and calling the game mechanics OP or trash.
Doesn’t need a nerf at all 10 feet or 100 feet the damage should stay as it is. Im quite perplexed as to why it has a drop on it when the FT have laser beam bullets still 😂
