Predator nerfed to much

I don’t know about other predator mains but I can’t deal with one guy sees you and while you jump away he alone can take a quarter of your health. Add to that if one fireteam member survives they can resurrect the rest. That’s just not balanced.

Yea I agree but I don’t think they should nerf the fire team. Im a pred main also. I think they should make matches 20 mins and not 15

Hold up lets solve this with advanced quantum algorithms, So being seen by all is the sum of s1 through s4, not being seen by all is the sum of x1 through x4.
s1= -25%HP
s1-x1=-0%HP
s1+x2+x3+x4=-25%HP
s1+x2+s3+x4=-50%HP
s1+x1+s2+x2=-0%HP
s1+x1+s2+x2+s3+x3+s4+x4=-0%HP
therefor we can conclude that the game is just balanced and you’re wrong.

It’s now to where a decent fireteam member can almost kill a predator on their own. I had a group kill my full health berserker in the time it took to leap.

Dude if a Predator jumps I barely put a bullet in it =))

I find it interesting, @Nephranhulk, that too many people are still complaining about the Predator and how he needs a buff/nerf!! I’m starting to gather that these people don’t know how to properly play as them. Hence all of the complaining.

I’ve been quite successful as each Class although the Berseker is my main go-to. Yes, he’s a little more tanky allowing for more aggressive play. But that doesn’t mean you can’t get melted. I’ve faced plenty of excellent Teams who made me work my ass off for a win, and others where Games ended in a stalemate. Or a few escaping at the worst.

It all boils down to using Movement to confuse the hell out of a Fireteam. If you’re just Jumping in and Hacking away with no fucks given, then yeah, you’re going to get melted. This isn’t Friday the 13th. We’re not Jason.

Lastly, I find it interesting that everyone complains that the Berserker is too slow. For covering long distances, that’s partially true. But using a Berserker’s shorter Leap Distsnce can actually be an incredibly effective Tool to easily disorient a Fireteam. And if you can keep your Stamina in check, pairing Bunny Hops along with short Leaps makes you incredibly hard to hit. Add in a Net Gun for disruption and the Combi-Stick’s Quick Toss?? You’d be surprised to see what the Berserker is capable of, let alone the other two Classes.

I’ve destroyed many fireteams don’t misunderstand my wins far outweigh my losses but it’s not supposed to be equal exactly the goal of the fireteam is to survive. If they stay in close proximity the predator has no real splash damage to make them stay apart the predator is at a distinct disadvantage. I’ve crouched remained completely still and somehow they still keep spotting before I can even do anything and then when you kill 3 of them the last one res the others I call bull.

No, the predator hasn’t been nerfed to much it’s fine. One thing i just see to many preds do is leaping from an engagement into the open, I sorta get that if you jumped in and it went poorly your just panic jumping away but thats one of those you should sorta been checking out where you are and jumping into cover or over something when disengaging.

That makes it so easy to melt a pred fleeing, or second wind predators not jumping up on rocks or over them but just jumping in a way we can easily follow them than getting downed instead of being able to heal.

It’s like FT players that just back pedal from a predator meleeing them than complaining about how quickly the pred downs them… try juking to the side or rushing past, the pred melees dashing forward try to shake em.

I’m not an idiot I know to break line of sight as soon as possible but you get in there do some melee then you don’t have enough stamina to leap. Think about all the crap pred deals with you do a slam weapon gets stuck in the ground and they get free shots it’s supposed to be ft trying to survive and if they are lucky kill the predator I’ve played both sides it’s just to easy to kill the predator any half decent fireteam should never lose

I wish the match actually takes 15 min, they can literally finish all the missions under 8minutes… So if they actually make the missions longer like actual objectives worth of 15min and not that they can be speedran like people do and go to exfill point…

  • i think the actual issue is that people as predators rush in worry they will lose cause fireteam will just extract lol…

I think predator is fine. I just want the PC returned to its pre 1.06 usefulness. Scoring direct full charge hits only to watch them pop an instant heal and frolic away is annoying 😐

Never bring logic and mathematics to a salty shitpost thread 🤣

Is predator nerfed too much thats the million dollar question i think that only someone from illfonic can really answer this one.

Is it balanced at low level is it balanced in mid skill levels and is it balanced at hiest of player skills.
One would think that you need to ask maybe @Courier about this to actually get some answers.

If they even can track stats like these.

You realise that you are proving my point. Think of it this way when is the predator most vulnerable. After a slam during a stealth kill and while taking trophy so they can’t just be picked up. All those times your just a sitting duck. Then a fireteam member can also stop your melee with a knife.

I don’t really disagree. All I’m saying is I want my one shot back. If I’m good enough and/or they’re shitty enough to get that hit, I deserve my down 😀

Exactly but it was nerfed

…yeah. And I want it de-nerfed. De-nerfed? Un-nerfed? 🤷‍♀️
