Predator Parry ability...

#1

How about the predator has the option to parry the knife attacks to deal with these fearless players that chase you down to kill you.

when the player knifes the Predator should be prompted to grab the knifing hand of the FT member and perform a quick instant kill… Pressing the trigger would grab his hand and then grab his leg and rip him in two. Another could be ripping the arm off and then grabbing the leg again to pull him to the floor and rip his head off. Another could be block the knife attack with a grab and thrusting your blades into his head, chest or stomach for a brutal trophy kill. and maybe even grab one hand then the other and kill him with a nice head but or firing your cannon at him for total obliteration!

upvote if you agree!

UPDATE: To those of you thinking I dont want skill to get kills, I call bs! I do want skill but what I dont want is pathetic super ego brats running after me when I am in second wind! And maybe I should alter what I said slightly… How about instead of an instant kill you get into a small duel with the player where each player presses different buttons or spams one to triumph over the other. each time one triumph’s more health is taken away with a hit to the opposition. After 2-3 attempts the pred either gets an awesome kill as mentioned above or the FT member seriously injures the pred close to second wind or at least stuns the pred enough to escape the duel.

Sounds like great balance that!

Maybe just add a big red button for the Predator to press that instantly wipes out the FT too.

Its a bit exaggerated, but I know where it comes from. From frustration. That is because it makes to say the least, very little sense, that a tiny bug frail weakling can parry your attacks which gets you stunned, where as you cant even parry their attacks.
Would it not be balanced to have their attacks being parried and them being stunned? I think it would be.
But ideas to tore them to pieces if you manage to grab their attack, sounds good and would give Fire Team member a choice, try and slash Predator and get wrecked instantly or just parry and leg it.

Or stop playing like shit and giving the fireteam the upper hand in the games? I love all the Melee hungry preds that think rushing a fireteam of 4 will net you an easy win because “melee”. You are not Jason, you are a very killable hunter and have plenty of tools to do the job. If you play like an idiot expect to die like an idiot but dont come here and cry for buffs to cater to your crap playstyle.

No. Predator should be able to parry, but a counter strike kill is the least balanced thing I’ve seen on the forums ever, it’s like predator mains dont want to earn their wins and instead just have them handed to you.

They wont stop crying for “balance” until they can no effort a game. This is the way of gamers these days, they dont want a skill ceiling to break they want to game to cater to their crappy skill level and if it doesn’t the game is “shit” or “broken” or “unbalanced”.

Its more like Fire Team players don’t want to give away their ability to have an easy kill in melee. You have all the tools to kill him outside of melee as well as inside.

We understood we didnt need an easy kill in melee and we dont anymore, predator players just want to no skill a game. They dont want to put effort in or actually try. Predstor is far more difficult to play and should be. Predstor should be able to parry a fireteam trying to melee him, but a instant counter kill is not the way to go.

I can say that since the patch bullets have killed preds, what gets them killed is trying to use Second wind as a crutch play and it is still very possible to chase them down because 90% of your preds put in little to no effort to actually change their running pattern or even try to get a height advantage when in second wind. Y’all can leap now in second wind so you have 0 excuses to get downed by a FT if you’re put in that vulnerable second wind state and I will keep killing those preds who are bad at this to teach them to get better.

Realistically if the Fireteam can parry a 300 pound predator at will, I don’t see how a predator can’t parry a fire team member attempting to melee 👀

#12

Because it’s a video game not based in the real world or trying to be 100% accurate to “lore” it is still a video game and the FT’s parry is a last line of defense from a melee rush. If parry bothers people that much try to do some ranged attacks and not the zerker combi stick meta you see people beating on randos in matchmaking with.

Parrying still exists, parrying at will does not and it shouldn’t, it now requires stamina as it always should have, you shouldn’t be able to infinitely parry a predator stop whining over broken mechanics lmao

#14

Yeah because easily being able to kill the predator by carrying it to death is balanced right…

The FT should fear the predator but that simply isnt the case.

Exactly, people just dont want to adapt or learn, that isnt the fireteam fault nor should we be punished just because of bad players refusing to admit and learn from their mistakes. This patch brought a lot of good to the game, it fell a tad bit short in balancing I think but it is a huge step foward, and I’m gonna stick with it. I thought it would take a week for the bad predator players to complain that the fireteam is still OP, but nope, just a couple of days.

Instead of counter kill, which as someone whos plays pred alot, thats a little unfair in a game, how bout a head butt? Like a one that deals some damage ( not a killer amount but enough to discourage a constant knife fight with some who can counter you evenly. Like 10 - 15 points?) And a knock down effect. Not downed but you get back up in like a second ready to continue.

This is assume there is a counter parry mechanic that requires some skill, not an insta reaction.

#17

I like the idea of parrying a FT member and having them being knocked down for a couple of seconds.

#18

i still think the knife does a bit too much damage to predators HP, imho it should just parry and maybe do a small amount of damage to the predator not 1/4 of its HP
