Pred mains speak up PLEASE

[kepps066]

You suck and need FT nerfed so you can win. Get over yourself and get good.

[richterbryan]

The ft needs a nerf on slight things like spotting and maybe heal running. A whole dutch ft is going to happen and you will have to deal with that in your own way. The big thing is that the ft is fine and the Predator is fine. If you are losing maybe change your play style. So yes ft needs a nerf and but not one you want. Yes the Predator needs a buff but not one that is going to change the game.

The classic get good lol not arguing with you dog

[DJB1991]

It does seem like a very 1 sided but the predator weapons have been updated which is good as i main predator yes these bugs do need addressing and hopefully big hope there it will be in the next patch because i get the frustration because you love the game and want it to succeed so i hope everyone gets what they want in the next patch predator movement/loadout fixes and in the next dlc hopefully something for the predator which will be alpha predator.

[kepps066]

FT needs no more nerfing. Predator has so many one shot, one kill methods already. But I think his cloak needs some minor tweaking

[KameofWar]

i’ve been asked a simlare thing as this thread in this thread so i’ll leave that qoute here and i’ll reply if someone decides to tackle me on this issue

@KameofWar

OK as far as i’m concerned only one person ever has complained about target iso and everyone says he is wrong
spotting is probably an issue but all that needs is a internal CD shared by all FT that lasts 5 seconds longer than the spot lasts

where i and many others are more concerned with a numbers issue or a “meta” issue
currently predator doesn’t have enough tools/mechanics to warrent the fireteam having superior numbers
if a fireteam becomes aware of the superior equipments/loadouts and is either on comms or just good at fps collectively (which they are starting to in the current patch of 1.09 i see more and more FT taking the right guns and classes just not the right perks)

predator cannot beat them under any circumstance he may kill some of them but they will kill him or xtract which is a loss

there are a handful of guns in the game that kill pred within 9 seconds of sustained fire and 2 that kill in 4.3 seconds there are 4 dudes the best snipers destroy the mask in 3 shots there are 4 dudes
in the time it takes for pred to aim at the fireteam if they see him he takes 40% of his hp or loses his mask
it is currently possible as the predator to die in 1 second FT also randomly gets critical hits (yes i’m serious this is a thing the discord has confirmed) where the SAWZ for example can do 30% of a hunters hp in one bullet and take off your mask in one bullet if he is lucky what the actual fuck

the fireteam classes currently have no reason to select any of them that aren’t support or assault due to not restricting equipment
the fireteam could have 48+ heals in a game… they can reinforce 2 fucking times in a game i’m not even talking about syringes here
and we know there gonna nerf slam next patch cause (duh) so pred won’t have a viable option to get them out of buildings that won’t kill him

predator also has fewer viable perks due to being force to select dmg+ or dmg- perks on every single build in most builds you have to pick a perk that help you move faster or help your NRG bar as your last choice
most of his gear is worthless when one of the medkits are mandatory i’m aware that currently bear trap is probably to strong
pred only has 3 viable weapons while i think the fireteam has 11 anyway the bow net and stick
stick has been nerfed in every single patch cause the devs don’t know why people are using it
the other 2 melee weapons don’t have enough dmg/accurate tracking/2ndary use to warrent using them plus the combi stick is the 2nd most powerful ranged weapon in the game now cause they nerfed caster
the smart disc could be viable but because it’s flight controls can be difficult and fireteam can destroy it out of the air or just run faster than the disc it’s bad

one could argue in a reasonable fashion some of the predator classes are unviable due to speed/hp differences due to how powerful the fireteam is that’s a problem

i could go on but i’ll stop here yes i’m fucking biased cause i know a broken balance when i see one just by looking at numbers and the more i play FT the more i wonder how the fuck do FT ever lose

[PaperChamp]

I’m sorry but FT is 80% of the game lobby. They will always cater to FT. Especially since the Predator is a new experience and FT is the same copy paste shooter we’ve been playing for a decade. For that reason, predator has a skill gap where FT does not (since we’ve been playing shooters since our thumbs were opposable). They definitely don’t “cater” to FT but they do have to incentivize FT

[Finessology]

@859captainkron

Healing while partying the pred that needs to be fixed, because me as the predator has to completely stop to heal, unfair af

Healing while parrying is busted actually. It’s not a staggered heal it just keeps healing through damage so the amount of effective hp you get as a support is insane.

The rest is fine except spotting invis/through walls

[Draedark]

@859captainkron

The devs clearly favor the fire team they keep getting spoon fed.

hands off my spoon sir. thank you

[859captainkron]

Play from both sides dumb ass

[Draedark]

Nobody likes a dumb ass.

Nobody likes a smart ass.

You know what, imma be over here, focusing on being a bad ass.

[Draedark]

Seriously though, too many buffs to Predator (or nerfs to FT) would most likely have a serious affect on public queue play. Which I wager is were the majority of players are.

I am not saying it is perfect, hopefully Illphonic has those metrics and are aiming to balance for the majority.

[Nephranhulk]

It’s not unlimited as you say there is a cost if you fire a few full charged plasma bolts (which are super slow if you get hit by it that’s on you) it over charges and you have to wait at that point to do anything energy related. And come on slams stick your weapon in the ground pred is a sitting duck. And a net can be removed in seconds by another ft member

[Nephranhulk]

I’m just saying it’s gonna favor one side. Then an update will favor the other. And that’s what will happen over and over till the servers shut down

[PaperChamp]

There is nothing negative about slam for Predator rn. You’re just complaining to complain. The game is pretty balanced

[Nephranhulk]

Dude I slammed in the middle of 4 players my combi stick had to be pulled outa the ground and for some reason twirled before I could move I lost half my health

[Yautjahunter]

My dude, I’m a pred main and it pains me to say this but you shouldn’t be playing predator if your having so much trouble winning that you gotta cry on forums, I’m not in any way the best predator and I still get my wins in frequently. This game is well balanced and the only time the ft has a guaranteed win is if The predator messes up or if the ft is really good and plays together often

[Yautjahunter]

Predator damage and health is fine as is, fire team damage and health are fine as is. If anything I’d limit the ft from calling the chopper to no sooner than the last 4 min to give the predator some room to breathe.

[kepps066]

Shooting them uncharged is damn near unlimited. Your argument is lost.

[PaperChamp]

That’s the payoff for doing 360 damage in one leap. Plus don’t leap with your combistick bc that animation is longer than the rest
