Predator still OP after patch 2.0

nobody can solo a pred, unless the pred is beyond trash.

Sorry, but if you’re losing as an FT after this patch that’s down to it being a good Pred, your FT being majorly sloppy, or just poor play on your part.

If you can play at all. But yes I agree lol

So you want proof that my pre made kills predators? Wat

No… I wanna see you 1v1 killing preds “all the time” like you said

thats right, premades are minority, making balance around them makes game unplayable for majority players. I think public servers should be balanced around solos, for premades maybe custom competitive match with adjustable multiplicators, for example increased Pred health/damage, AI count, etc - so premades can be challenged by buffed Pred and Preds can fight back. I think something like that would be nice

I wish you’d stayed gone 🤷‍♀️

It should not be possible no but he’s not the only one saying that it is far more possible after the last patch especially if the Pred prefers to use melee hit and run as opposed to ranged guerilla fighting tactics. I do agree with the Devs that running in expecting to Tank and mindlessly mash your way to victory without any real strategy whatsoever should get you killed. I also feel that nerfing melee into oblivion to make the extreme scenario impossible is a bit too far. I’m not sure how you would really balance that but hopefully it will get figured out sooner than later.

As Predator, I’ve legit only died/lost to a random PC Death Sqaud in Quickplay after a 5 Win Streak. Predator “mains” nor Fireteam “mains” do not have have any place to speak on balance since they don’t play both sides.

Bulid:

Hunter

Modifed Reserve, Energy Cell, Down Range.

Bow/Combi-Stick

In solo que. meaning with randoms dingus. Oof

I’m hoping we will get there in about 6 months or so. Probably closer to 8 months to be honest.
It isn’t that it won’t be useful or fun, there’s just other things that need to come first. The same reason we need that mode, for the % of Pre-made’s is also why we won’t see it.

There’s also the matter of how to do it. Is it a tournament mode, with teams joining? How a Predator que’s arranged? Does it act as a ranked mode for the game as a whole. Can you join a team as a random for a few hours of games or do you need to be part of the Pre-made before hand? Do teams have a kick feature?

All those questions and more are why, I do want someone who does have the experience, to write their suggestions. So I can give feedback and help out. I might even be inspired to play on a Pre-made if it’s fun.

@JelouGaming, people have no idea how fucking scary Pre-made Pred teams are gonna be. Talk about hard time balancing something.
The complaints are going to hit an all time high.

You were saying FT is losing now except for premades. I said I win without premades all the time

One of the smartest thing I’ve read in these forums

I do… is gonna be a fucking nightmare. Specially if you have 12 people on comms trying to coordinate. Is hard enough to coordinate 4 people. But I want it. I want the challenge. Is gonna be fun, probably very frustrating as well, as with PC Death Squads we will have PC Pred Death Squads and those will likely be “unbeatable”.

But the balance of the game cannot ever be made upon exceptions. It has to be done around the majority.

Pred is still very powerful and able to down any uncoordinated team. People fail to get that the game is made so a coordinated team will win almost always. Is designed for that. If even those don’t stand a chance, then no one will want to play.

The problem is that people are using melee in the wrong way, you cant jump 1 vs 4 ft members FULL HP and kill them with the melee. Just wait until some one is split and damage him from range, then you can secure the kill with the melee. Net gun or range harras is needed before going for melee.

Exactly , so 99% of people there can’t speak since they are all Predator one trick 🙂

It’s a good idea but without dedicated servers it will not work. Private matches right now are unplayable unless you are from the same region.

The net gun is pretty cheap mostly because 1v1 is terribly lopsided and the predator can net you and let AI do all the damage.

But it’s also cheap because you can’t stim or escape on the chopper. It’s a classic weapon so it has to be in the game, but it definitely needs a rework.
My ideas:

  • move net gun to gear, 5 points, make it twice as strong, but reduce to 2 ammo, 4 ammo with large pouch

Or

  • increase reload again to 3 seconds

Or

  • reduce to 5 ammo
