The Battle Axe is not that OP..

disk just need to go down to 1 or damage down to 80-90 HP, basically the problem is that preds can easily throw a second disk before the syrette does full effect so you are going down pretty quick if the disk user is good.

Granted, there’s only like 2 or 3 good disk users there so, not much to worry about anyway.

Why are we nerfing pred

Not when they are good.

It’s confusing and it forces veteran players into using only Dante or Support with Field Medic if they want to have a chance.

Balance between sides can be separate from balance between weapons, characters, perks, etc.

Overall, Fireteam is stronger, but that’s not an excuse to have weapons(characters, etc.) that are outliers within their category, or cause problems for non competitive gameplay.

It honestly doesn’t matter, even Dante or Support will go down in one hit with the proper build and technique most of the time

Base damage 100 HP
Fearless buff 110 HP
Ghost buff 132 HP
Samurai passive 140 HP

… but if you use the exploit
Base exploit damage135 HP
Fearless buff 149 HP
Samurai passive 158 HP
Finally, magical combo (light attack, cloak, heavy attack) = Ghost buff
Ghost buff 190 HP

Only one that can take it is Support if they are at full health. Dante/Scout sprinting damage resist doesn’t work when you are bunny hopping around dodging the swipes.

Against a potato pred with no clue what he is doing, sure, you’ll survive, but against a competent player when you are solo with 3 potatoes that won’t even make an effort to shoot the pred, yeah, you are going down baby.

Like thunder said, is only OP when you are playing with 3 brain dead potatoes. In a duo or even with one bot you can handle most players.

Ya but those things directly coincide with each other.

If pred is underpowered and he has one good weapon, the answer would be to buff the other weapons

And a good ft tutorial can fix the issues of noobies

Any melee weapon wouldn’t have worked the way that player attacked. Also, at 136 Ping, melee is extremely unreliable because you’re too far behind for tracking and you’ll not react to damage quickly enough.

Second predator, mostly the same story and 96 Ping. Melee and high Ping don’t mix in this game.

Not really, once I was invited to play as Predator vs Gesp who was missing a Predator in the lobby is very far from me. I had over 200+ ping, ranged weapon are shit so only option was to go 1v1 him with the alpha sickle, it worked cus he was alone. Melee is the best option with high ping.

Here, vs a Axe User with 0 ping.

Good ft players win 1v1 vs Axe Predators most time, sure anyone you get unlucky and die, can happen to anyone that go ft solo.

LMAO, both preds are potatoes and you know it dude.

Try that with 3 potatoes against a decent player, even if they are way below your level, like me, for example, and you know you are going down.

Like I said, all you need is one more decent player on your team, or even a bot, but alone?, against someone decent? is pointless. Is a good challenge though, but is not as easy as you say, otherwise you would have put more examples

Haha. 🤣 Okay, man. Whatever you say.

Is a decent Predator player gonna try to use Axe vs me ? I think Riktig did it once but he killed the 3 potatos with disk first. And its fucking Riktig, top 1% player. Oh also Mojo used vs me.

It is what actually works in practice, problem is that you don’t test things in real matches. Its normal, most OG players are pretty mediocre close to potato level even after 2 years. You guys don’t learn anything, have been in a limbo since 2020.

The best option is to simply leave the game

I mean, if they know you are alone? sure, why not? it works, but you don’t play alone much

Not always, if the guy is not a potato it will be 50/50 chance in most scenarios vs Axe. Game is not suppose to be 1v1. If I can beat even good predator players with 3 potatos then there is no point having a fire"team" at all.

You really need to start playing real matches.

Like I said, depends of the build. With the right build against and the proper use of the exploit (granted is not easy, that’s why I said it can’t be a brain dead player) you can easily get lucky with 1 hit and you can deal as much as over 220HP (two misses and landing the last one making sure you cloak right before you perform an attack) which is enough to down any class.

I’d say is closer to 80/20 against a decent player that knows what is doing and purposely trying to maximize damage output

A big problem on this community is that so many called experts and OG players don’t really have much experience at this game besides playing with potatos. I killed like 5 Jungle Hunters 1v1 in short matches the last few days. Many people never bothered to learn anything. 2 years in a limbo. Its like a fat personal trainer, if you are bad at the game people won’t take you seriously on being an expert.

What if you miss, sometimes the tracking screws up. I can just go tank Dutch87 with heavy hitter. Might be able to take a good part of the pred hp before he come close, then its just about dodging the Axe. Dodging Axe can be random, today a Predator should have hitted me twice with the Axe but it went through me with no dmg.

Axe is not something that takes much skill, a potato and a good player swing the Axe the same way, just get close, press key and hope the tracking works.
