That’s kind of a big problem. While I dont keep count of hits or anything, I have a general idea of what I need to kill a player. I would throw a lot of us off.
Tier system that doesnt divide the player base...
i think that depends on what perks you and the guy your hitting has. so it can be 4 or 5 hits depends if they got OWLF perk or if u have + melee perk etc etc.
I definitely like the idea. I wouldn’t worry about the numbers as you said. The devs can handle that if they like the idea.

I guess with the variation of perks it does mean that you are never quite sure but have a rough guess at when you take them down, I guess the only way to truly know if its viable is to test it but I think im for it, it is painful when I basically 1v1 newbie preds, at least they might be able to down me this way, same goes for when a god pred comes along and wipes the floor with my team because they dont know what they are doing…
Although thats made me think now, what if a team smurfs a god level FT player? dont get me wrong 1 FT member cant win the game solo but they will make the preds game a living hell with the damage buff…
Right but with this system it could take like possibly up to 10 hits to down someone? Which is a prob simply because it would throw us off. I mean sure I think quite a few of us could adapt but it would be annoying until we caught on.
I see it as a pretty hefty problem, but maybe it wouldn’t be. Hard to say honestly.
Yeah there is also the “pre-stim” that i do a lot, when im being melee rushed i take the stim even if im full health or close to it, that way after each hit or parry the health goes back up between swipes. that gives you 1 or 2 more hit survival too.
Right i see what you are saying. i think you would naturally get used to that over time but it may be jaring at first i agree.
From how you’ve talked on the forums I think you and I plus some other decent preds would adjust. But some ppl… wouldn’t be able to even begin to wrap their head around it xD.
You’d see post like-
HACKERS OMG WTF BAN THUS GUY PLASE.
lol
If they do implement something like this then they will also need to add a legend in game to explain it, like the OP describes it, just to make sure its not missed for the players who dont check the forum or look up patch notes.
they could straight up tell you in the lobby “+/-10% health & Damage” next to the predator player or something.
If you go by this then there needs to be increased vibranium and unlocks for better players, then its not even worth it.
Seems like a good idea. But if its seen ppl might leave or react negatively and some might be able to take advantage? Lol I’m just trying to look at it from all sides but this just makes me feel like I’m extremely negative here xD. Like, no it won’t work cause of this, and if you changed it then that, blah blah blah.
Just trying to work out whats fair.
I mean if you are a fireteam and u dominate the predator and hes never a challange to you then im sure you would welcome that change and the challange?
and if you really are a terrible predator you should still be able to enjoy playing it sometimes… im just thinking how do you compensate for that.
IDK, so far it still seems viable.
Yeah, I can see it working.
I think they would need to hire someone to work it out though like an actual mathamatician not just guessing stuff i think :)
An interesting take on a ranking systems. Effectively “handicap” a team or Predator depending how good they are or if they’re steam rolling matches, maybe exploiting a class or set up and over a few matches the set up becomes less.effective.
I’m not against it or for it. If it taken and applied I definitely want some serious precautions taken. Like you should be notified of the buff/debuff pre match but just cant quit to not play through it.
An option to opt would be good but that could cause a split in the base.
My biggest question is the barometer for this. It can’t simply be wins, least not on Predator side. It would be too way to easy to grab a bunch of kills a throw the match to stay “low” level or “buffed”

Shortly: Buff predator, Replace skill for numbers.
Nah.
That’s not what this is at all. It would buff ft as well, if need be.
