Yh I don’t think I’ll bother playing as Oni again unless they fix the FPS drops with his cloak. It’s just cancerous trying to land shots against good players while your game is moving at like 10fps. By the time you see where your shots landed, your health is gone.
As for the other stuff, that’s why you ban Support, Dante & Leader spec in Privates. Anyone still using that stuff in 2025 is just a clown that needs to work on their skill issues. Everyone should just play less broken shit so they can actually have fun & not make every game a tedious sweatfest where they play in the most efficient but boring ways possible. I don’t find it engaging to be forced to sit miles away sniping with Plasma from across the map & throwing Disc every 2 seconds because the Fireteam are abusing broken classes so they don’t even have to try & can just insta-pick any downed teammates while deleting your health with guns that have zero recoil & 17 damage buffs to already overpowered weapons.
Matches are more engaging when the Pred isn’t forced to rely on Disc. I prefer using Combistick anyway. If you rely on Disc too much you just get overly reliant on it & can’t land shots with anything else. I also don’t want to play an S Tier class every game. It just gets extremely repetitive having to run Scar, Bionic or Celtic every match. If you’re running Smart Disc, your class doesn’t matter as much anyway in comparison to when you’re running Combistick. I’ve beaten teams of Dantes & Supports in Privates as Falconer & Chopper both with & without Smart Disc. It’s not like I have anything more to prove & neither should anyone else. The game is in such a ridiculous state of unbalance that there’s no point in caring about tryharding. If anything we should be spitballing modifiers for a Private Match custom that makes the game more balanced.
Either way yh different classes will suit different playstyles. I prefer to be aggressive with Combistick throws followed up by Plasma Pistol shots, but I also prefer having Bear Traps which is why I may prefer running Mr Black or Cleopatra over the likes of Amazon or Wolf for example. You don’t have to run the same classes every game though. Just ban broken shit on the Fireteam side, otherwise they’ll be breezing to casual wins while you’re sitting there sweating your balls off to get a single kill, and it’s not your fault, it’s just the way the game is designed. So, we as players have to take things into our own hands to change things to be a bit more balanced & enjoyable for both sides in Privates.
