Alright big hoss go play a 4 stack come in for quick melee see how that works out for ya. This is not coming from me just throwing shit out there. It comes from a year of playing this game against pre mades
Things that are Broken for FT
Lmao I hate to nitpick here, but while I agree in viable, possible doesnt only mean it will work only if they’re bad.
While it might be an extremely low chance you can win using anything.
Do I feel like putting in the effort required to win with low chance shit?
Not really.
But its possible.
Btw to add to the list of brokem shit, dextrous.
Missions are short enough,
The fact That you can make interactions faster is broken.
Really hope they remove Feild Medic and dextrous in the future.

I say just rework FM so that it either revives people with more health than normal without a revive speed boost or make it so every time the FM heals up everyone else heals by a percentage of that heal like in remnant. They could also make it so that the FM heals the squad by like 5-10 points for every AI kill.

I am by no means a high skill pred player. 99% of rounds I play FT. Maybe do 4 pred rounds a week. Haven’t lost for months. Admittedly I don’t get 4 man premade teams but I often get one or two good FT players and still win. No super tactics. Stealth and plasma mostly.
I agree that FT is OP as I also survive most FT rounds too but I think it’s exaggerated a bit. If you are reasonably skilled and don’t get lots of premades you should be winning at least half your matches.

No the last one would be way too much, and so would healing the group.
The only one I can see as ok would be more health than normal revive, but the same amount of time or slower.
Those matches don’t count, it isnt exaggerated lol.
Also you like to undersell yourself you’re pretty good. So I’m not surprised you do decently well.
How do you think I feel?
I’ve been pretty much saying the same shit over and over and no one wants to listen.
Everyone keeps trying to balance off player skill and not the game itself.
But I just wanted to nitpick cause its it’s funny to me.
But ya for the most part I agree.
Unless you really know how to pull it off melee isnt really a good approach.

I for 1 still use my hybrid play style of using melee and range. Not to toot my own horn, but I majority of the time still win even against really skilled players. Its a shit ton harder than doing ranged but its the way I like playing. So the viability is definitely still there. It’s really like a it’s there but not recommended type of play style nowadays lol.
Despite the status quo I almost never use my plasma caster even tho it’s the best way to win. Not because I don’t like the pc but just shoot people from a distance repeatedly isn’t fun for me even if it’s the best option. So I have to plan and put a lot more strategy in my play in order for me to use melee and not die.
But again the fact that I have to do that to use weapons that make up 75% of our arsenal is ridiculous 🤢
Everything you said is still very accurate and very much still needs to be changed tho💯 and if they don’t consider it, we need more pred weapons and gear regardless. And not some stupid axe or hammer that offer nothing besides new easy ways to get killed.
Also I never realized how broken dex was until I set up a custom private, put interaction time to 50% and made a class with dex. With just the 50% the interaction bar moves hella fast, but with dex it’s like literally non-existent. I can’t even imagine how fast it moves in regular hunt match.🤦🏽♂️
Ya DeX makes things way too quick and easy.
DeX and feild medic just need to be removed.

I usually will use a bit of melee as well and win. The difference is full teams of good players will NOT let you do this without getting melted. But I agree that not being able to use the vast majority of the arsenal gets old quick lol

I got melted tonight by a premade but that’s the only time I get beat. Most players are casual so for them the balance is probably ok. It’s the good players who see the problems but they are the minority.
That’s a shame.
Was it some fun at least?
Then there no preds left boring as game
Parry is broken because it will stun the predator for maybe a half second??? The parry is fine to me. And I don’t think anything is broken lol my main dutch doesn’t either lol

I will also say that field medic should not be able to be ran on more than one fireteam member during a hunt. If more than one fireteam member tries to run it it should only let one member run it and cancel out the perk making the other users basically have no specialization if there are multiple users.
Parrying is absolutely ok now.
It has become incredibly hard to win close combat against any decent Pred, even if you’re using Dutch 87 with OWLF, Thick Skin and knife perk.
You need insane skills for that, it isn’t any more like after launch when everybody was able to knife-spam preds into oblivion.
Only a few players are still able to consistently win such encounters and if you meet those you got worse problems than their knives.
Honestly, if you get parried a lot as Pred you should search the error more in your tactics than nerfing others.
Nope. Just constant spots and acigs. They never caught me in 2nd wind but they did try.
It’s probably why we need skill based matchmaking. Even if it’s just win/loss based. Get matched up with people who have a similar ratio to you.
