slam...

No leap slam can stay but through roofs and damage fire team through building wtf is that all about that needs to go asap cause right now its a messy experience playing the game.

But here you are commenting your point, double standards lol

OK then ✌️

Ahh :) You try leaping “halfway” across the map vs a decent FT and see how much success you have :)

Oooh cloak and stand still?! Oh no, the FT will surely never find me now! Apart from the stupid sound the predator makes that is directional and so leads the FT to his vicinity and then bingo the giant extra big neon green blood splatter on the floor. Nope, they’ll never see that.

Bear traps eh…hmm ok. Considering right now it’s pretty common for the whole damn team to chase you when you need to heal I don’t think a measly bear trap is going to do much. But let’s say it’s 2 chasing you. One gets trapped, the other keeps going, the trapped is soon free to continue the chase. That’s not even considering if they have the traps perk.

I can see you know your stuff…

Incorrect. They have this thing called covering each other. If someone is downed the predator needs to make it count by killing them or it’s almost worthless. When he tries to get damage in to finish the body they need to return fire to dissuade him from continuing. This is the game both sides play when someone is down. If they do enough damage the predator will have to retreat and they have earned their heal. The predator however will stand a fair chance at now being chased and in turn will have to earn his heal.

why should they balance a game for people who refuse to improve their skills?

I mean it is a little funny If u think about it to me that ppl are justifying roof slam when this wasnt even a move/ability predator could do in the first place In any of the series technically and now it’s one of its strongest aoe attacks in combination with leap…So the fact that were talking about a move even at its most basic value that shouldnt be possible…Were ok with justifying the exploit its able to do lol Aoe dmg isn’t meant to go through objects, their hit box should be in line of sight of slams aoe radius, same as FT nades on Pred…only through barrels really since they are destroyable.

If it was stated in patch notes that “Slam now does damage through surfaces ie Roofs/Walls” then there’d be no argument but the fact that nades and FT explosive weapons are glitching through walls and surfaces that aren’t able to be shot through by any other form of weapon just makes it seem clear to me neither should the Slam. There’s plenty of ways to go about FT players inside of places without needing slam on a roof I feel too.

Why would it be in the patch notes? Did they add it in? If the patch notes said “Known Bugs: aoe through objects” then you’d have a case, But they aren’t going to say “intended effect: aoe hrough objects” because then they’d need to fill up the entire thing with “Can walk forward.” “Guns fire bullets” and everything else the game does.

haha, ground slam goes boom!

What? Why wouldnt it be tho? How is that just assumed knowledge of an ability that isnt even mentioned anywhere in the customization screens or anywhere…I dont think its that unreasonable. The stuff your quoting is obvious is obvious …They added in the patch notes that Slam does blind now too in the last one, how would u have known it blinded players other wise?

Now. You said now. It was a change, in the patch. so its in patch notes.

So you are seriously suggesting Fireteam sprint is just as fast as Predator leaps? If so you have terrible perception. And not only that… I have gone against pretty solid PC Fireteams as Predator on Console and outrun them with relative ease. On Backwater, the most open of the three maps. But by all means tell me more of how helpless the Predator is to being chased, because if that’s a problem you face… that’s because you don’t know what you’re doing my friend.

Cloaking and standing still is extremely good if you’re not retarded about it. You sound like you’ve literally not played a single match as Predator. Plain and simple. Yeah they can hear you. If you know that then why haven’t you learned how to deal with it? It’s not overly complicated. A challenge? Sure. But useless? Not quite as much as you would have us believe.

Oh no blood marks! Well why did that never occur to me! Because I actually learned how to deal with rather than asking for crutches :3 Someone needs to go to school to learn basic evasive tactics lol.

The whole fire team is chasing you? Sounds like three bear trapped members stalling to get you more health and if you are finishing that is some free kills right there. Once more demonstrating your total ineptitude.

All in all you suffer from Fireteam Derangement Syndrome. I am shit Predator so instead of actual addressing substantive point I am just gonna reject all facts and pretend that any decent Fireteam is equivalent to the global tournament league players and base all my arguments around the Fireteam performing every conceivable step and shot with flawless, impeccably impossible precision and perfection.

The fact that you think downing someone is worthless is absolutely mental and demonstrates exactly my point that you have no idea what you are on about when you have to blame buildings for your failures.

Took the words right out of my mouth XD

SKILL YOU MAD what you as a predator R1 jump to R2 charge slam on an outside roof top and taking out a blinded fire team that are inside a building, you call that skill, you fucking mad!!!

Have a word LMFAO

What I think he is saying is that as far as we know, the Plasma tech weapons have always done AoE through objects unless anyone has data to prove otherwise?

Thats what I was wondering too…Like I never heard or saw ppl slamming roofs in early days or before 1.06 patch even? Maybe they did I just dont remember thats why im asking

People may have just noticed it better since they added the blinding effect in 1.06, that’s my guess anyways.

Or maybe something was messed up when the damage values for all Plasma tech was being tweaked. Who knows?

Hopefully someone knows for sure?

This is why many (myself included) are in the camp that the plasma tech AoE going through objects is intended, as at least it is consistent across the tech.

It’s probable if this thread is accurate.

You just said

“why should they balance a game”

So even before finishing that sentence you’ve admitted its unbalanced lol.

Wanker LOL
