And you’ll have 4 bad players
This game is balanced
ii worded that wrong to shorten the commment because ive said it before.
If good teamwork is needed and it takes 4 people to down the pred you can kiss random spuads goodbye because to expect strangers with out mics to work well enough to kill something that needs a whole team to kill is unrealistic
A. It’s not one to one, just because a top tier team needs to take down a top tier Predator with team work doesn’t mean randoms need teamwork to take down a bad Predator
B.the basic teamwork required is “apes together strong” literally watch each other’s backs. Even randoms can do that. By coddling randoms they won’t learn a basic premise.
C. What about the Predator players losing unfairly? What about their time?

A. Considering rando bad players get destroyed by melee spam im sure a baby pred could cheese their way through a team of bad players.
B. Yeah you’d think a team heavy game would mean players who play it would work together but no thats not the reality of games, there are more heroes than team players these days. almost every match ive watched and played in solo queue has had bad teamwork,
C Our time is hardly wasted because the majority of our matches arent and will never be against pre-mades
what we have is the lesser of two evils
Exactly. There’s no point in trying to balance around them since good FT players who solo que can carry a team as is. FT will be fine.
And in order to fix that we need to push randoms to work together not coddle them. Siege already proves that they can they just need to do it.
Yawn. Easy random slaughter. Not very fun.
The game will never be balanced across the whole spectrum skillset of players.
There isn’t a rank match-making. After around level 30 you get paired with whoever is online.
Level, IMO, shouldn’t be the correct way to implement match making either. Ranked match-making should be made based on the amount of wins vs loses. The more you win, the more you are pitted against players who also win. The more you lose, the more you are pitted against players who lose more. This will also help players who lose a lot not being pitted against so called “cheaters” and will end their toxicity towards better players. It will also help players who are very good get pitted against those who are very good as well, offering a better balance and a more rewarding gameplay.
Right now, for any decent player, is win-win 90% of the time either as pred or fireteam. Waiting in the lobby for a match takes longer than the actual matches.

That’s not balance. True balance is making sure that whoever wins, it’s because they earned it. Lower ranks can just be adjusted by messing with who their paired with since as an asymetrical game there’s no one to one we have to call on.
they really cant im console and i can still deal with two good PC players with a proper Pred Loadout.
If this was possible not coddle just leave it as is
EXACTLY. so why would i want the yawn fest to be exacerbated
the only enjoyable matches are premades with a clue, all the other matches are stale, there was a time where i played with no slottable items at all because the matches got so boring.

I’m mostly sided with you on the question of balance.
Don’t you think one of the best ways to help randoms would be to remove proximity chat for the Fireteam and remove the sound bubbles from using game chat? I think this would huge help for random teams.
I’m also on console
And I can carry a FT.
Your forgetting there’s bad Predators too being shafted by balance.
As is, is coddling them by rewarding their bad skill.
Because regardless it’s going to be boring. At least this way you get some fun with 4 stacks.
Not like there’s much of a difference between easy and easier.
Then why do those matches matter then.
You can. Your average player who’s spine you just ripped next to those 2 PC players can’t. Willing to bet they make up the majority too based on my gameplay experience
Most of them are kids , they never shut up and give their position away willingly. It makes sense to have this as the pred is meant to watch and study , it makes sense talking would give away your position. Pre-mades have that advantage. Maybe they could lower the sound alerts like you said , ive no idea how much more is given away if the pred is running the perk for bigger audio indicators? Does it affect it at all?
Just added it to the predator perks page on our website guide. It’s pretty trash. Just about any other perk would be more useful.

[/quote] no there is a big difference its already too easy vs non premades so if they make it worse we might as well tell the FT to just bend over coz their about to get fucked. the way it is now is fine since 90 percent of matches require you to atleast respect the potential death from FT members, while the 10% make you actually sweat out a ma its better to run 9 outta ten matches and have fun rather than reverse that. i dont want to have to hope i get that 10% just to have any sort of challenge
That already happens as of now
No it doesn’t
I’ve had matches where I’m standing in one place (while strafing) and they couldn’t find me
They provide no substance at all.
One problem
Those 9 aren’t fun. The best you get is the satisfaction of claiming them (which Illfonic did good making it feel just right)
And enough being reactive
What about the bad Predator players
What do they just get slaughtered so that FT don’t have to put up with facing the consequences of their own stupidity and aweful skill
bad preds can get away with melee spamming that 9 . If players are landing parries then they’re likely better than a bad pred because bad FT tend to miss a lot of parries or just don’t parry at all, they also dont bob and weave either

Its as balanced as a one legged hooker during doggystyle on the feet
If that’s the case then good Predators will destroy those FT meaning neither side gets a match. At least my way the good Predators get something
Parrying is easy. Literally spam L2. If a FT can’t do that they don’t deserve a good match.
