Can confirm, plays like he stands in place
The Player Observation Thread
Played with Deez a few times, heāsā¦heās a special lad lol. Heās trying though, which is more than can be said for most potatoes.
Reading back over the weekend and weāve had some interesting posts, notably the Nightmare builds these kids keep coming up with.
I played with that guy in pubs a few times. Poor dude would finish missions and run towards the exfill just to see āPredator Downedā message. xD

Deez he is a good player, not a potato for sure. as an FT you know you can really rely on him and as a Pred, for sure he can take out any Potatoās FT easily. He will be destroy though against a 4 squad pre-made FT
i went vs his pred other day
Wrong, 100% fried potato
boring!
Canāt really agree, from my encounter when I was playing pred he seemed quite clueless and completely out of sync with real time events
More experienced Fireteam players have different movement patterns and responses to specific scenarios of which nothing stuck me as particularly outstanding or even on par with even players within ps group chats that Iām aware of, not to say he canāt improve but the current iteration of that person is nothing to write home about despite their recent attempt at trying to reveal tips on how to find a predator by disc return trail

Well just played with him recently.
He is good (in average sense), and Iām writing because aside from he is an active and helpful member of the community, you can see he is improving. Maybe he was a potato when you played with him, but if you happen to play with him again, you can say/call an improve āpotatoā and soon (a few months more) he might be there up in the ranking.
I kinda want to play against an Xbox premade & see how easy it is to win. The only thing Iāve seen players do on there is killing potato Predators with knife & they somehow think itās skillful.

He is a narcissistic dickhead in my experience.
He has a looonnnggg way to go before even coming close to ābeing up thereā in any rankings. He gives me no trouble when Iām Pred, and heās not very helpful beyond being bait when Iām FT.

Iāve been seeing more and more players doing exactly that. I donāt know where it got out that doing melee is somehow OP or does a lot of damage, but unless youāre a stacked Dutch 87, its not doing that much at all. I had a fucking Support trying to chase after me and knife me the other night, I laughed in plasma and made him go bye bye.
But yeah, the Xbox team I fought the other night was coordinated, they didnāt split up or do typical potato things, and they all helped each other with ammo and heath bags so they could keep spamming grenades. I wish I recorded it just to showcase that but I sucked balls in that match, despite winning. I feel like a good xbox premade is that step inbetween PS and PC, since xbox is more of a FPS/competitive gamer console compared to PS which is geared more towards solo experiences.

If they just keep spamming grenades they arenāt that good. They just sound like the average PS premade that would back out upon seeing my name.
From what Iāve seen so far it seems DEEZKNUGHTZ is just a new player going through the hoops, there are a few things to point out though

This can be interpreted as possibly some type of flex amongst other things, at worst an ego trip but at best posting out of love from the game without really knowing the ongoing problems
here are some posts to support that
Post - Assault Duelist
Post - Fireteam on Branch
Post - Predator A-Pose (Loading Model)
Post - Night Map
These are thingās that most people who donāt know the game that well would talk about as a fresh topic but I really dont see any real ego tripping and from a recent comment itās framed like the opposite
I havenāt seen anything too conflicting with this comment so far and right about now heās near a turning point for most players to actively start gaining traction with hubris due to not encountering noteworthy incidents or not being able to identify them in the first place due to lack experience, I donāt really see this person being an issue for the moment but it is quite out of place for someone with this persons experience to be giving out tips to others
This person just wants to be helpful, I get it
I think people like Bloody Yautja are much more deserving of criticism but Deezknughtz defiantly should see more perspective about the game and itās older players should as well
I can point out something that is quite annoying however, but it is really nothing beyond that so far
Thatās a lot of uploads for a new player passing through, I think they can get away with this to extent but this person simply just doesnāt know any better
I also did put together a lengthy video talking about some of their gameplay very lightly if you are starved for new content to consume lol
Upon looking through this persons footage combined with one of the games I feature, the following was observed
- Untimely responses to Predator sound indicators
- Untimely responses to Bear Traps
- Lack of addressing Predator sound indicators
- Lack of awareness towards teammateās well being
- Lack of knowledge towards target prioritization
- Lack of field syrette conservation
- Lack of weapon effectiveness knowledge
Iām sure I can go on, I donāt see a point to go that hard on this guy at the moment, seems fine but for the sake of observation I think I this will do
Oh, forgot to mention that yeah they contribute to the conglomerate of unaware cave dwellers as a whole but the problem is basically much bigger than one person and we donāt have a compiled piece of information that explains the game in a way someone can understand without experiencing something themselves

you fucking ran a case analysis on the guy lol
Whoops
Thanks for the constructive analysis on DEEZKNUGHTZ, very insightful and well structured.
What I meant (in average sense) We have alot of new unskilled players and also the casuals which is the bulk of PHG players. Only a few good and rare exceptional players. so from my observation, he is above the ānew and casualā crowd.
Hope DEEZKNUGHTZ put in his 2 cents.
Christ.
I think he is as you said, at a crossroads to where he could become an arrogant shit or remain humble. He says heās an old school gamer so I have high hopes for the latter, he just really needs to educate himself more on the game and get far more experience, because while he may not mean to, he is doing similar to bloodyyautja69 in giving poor advice to others. At least heās nice about it and doesnāt put them down. I think as long as he listens to people like us whoāve been around the lifetime of the game and continues to stay humble he will do very fine.
I almost want you to analyze my FT play, but Iām too afraid to get my feelings hurt lol. Might be helpful though, Iām always willing to learn.
