So find a team of 4 ? Because you can’t find a team you want fire team members to be OP and be able to take the predator 1v1 when it’s a 1v4 game. I’ve played as both 50+ games as the predator 100 as FT I can count on 1 hand how many times I lost as the predator and 2 how many times I lost as the fireteam. GET GOOD. PRACTICE. BE BETTER. LEARN TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR TEAM. If your TEAM isn’t communicating you WILL lose and that’s exactly how it should be. You’re crying a river, I haven’t lost as FT in the past 2 days, I’ve capped the predator several times through teamwork. Day before I played as the predator like 30 games straight and lost a total of twice.
To the dense Predator players
TRADEOFF, he’s the slowest and loudest predator in the game with the least amount of energy reserves, but has the most health (Tankiest) and hits the hardest. He’s doing exactly what he’s suppose to be doing
Of 4 no, but i got 1 buddy and we are winning a lot right now. Its not just about ME. Its about killing this game. It already does not have a big playerbase (check the ques). We can not afford to lose the casuals. This needs to be balanced carefully so random people can compete against predator if not they will stop playing. But each of you is free to do as you wish.
He should not be able to leap in the middle of 4 people, kill one, claim him and then leap away and not die. He needs a health nerf but believe as you wish. At least reduce his speed/leap ability if he is damaged. I already stated why its not balanced in the OP.
The age of the game did not seem to be a problem when asking for predator buffs. Double standards me think.
I’ll post this here too.
I’m gonna tell you like I tell everyone else get good, I’ve had no problems killing the predators and I’ve had no problems killing the fire team, if you aren’t skilled you will suck no matter what they do, if they nerf the predator I’ll destroy them even more then I already am.

And I will say it again, its about the level of “working together” and how much effort the predator needs to do to overcome. A good example is the one I already gave with the combistick berserker and how much effort it takes to execute the attack and how much it takes to counter. If it takes far more effort to counter, equal skilled people or even somewhat superior ones are not going to be able to do it.
I never said I can’t kill the predator.
You try to give a clever reply, but its highly illogical. The average fire teams are destroying preds by the numbers, its that easy.
So anyone playing FT atm and complains about pred being too strong, is either not playing as a team or the whole team are really bad.
Stay together, mind positioning, keep los on eachother, use a headset because you hear if pred is in the area. Learn to actually play.

You don’t say. Problem is random don’t do that. Why do you people don’t really read my post. If you balance this game just about well coordinated teams, its going to kill it for randoms. If it kills it for randoms, how long do you think predators are going to be in que for? Predators are not even satisfied with the current buffs, they want MORE. Just read thee first page mate.
Not intended for randoms. Game is intended for 4 players teaming up to try to survive being hunted while doing the objectives. Killing the pred is bonus.
Preds want more buffs because 4 man teams literally shred the preds or call chopper under 4 minutes. Are you that unaware? I can take you with me to kill some preds. Its actually boringly easy…
Predator in current state Over boosted. Most of unskilled players (not all) has fun to wins game easy by unbalance regardless of skill. Since patch 1.06 i had lots of games as Predator and i was stopped this only by one reason. Its boring to demean FT again and again. Option is simple: 1) Predator easy mode 2) FT hardcore
If its not intended for random I hope you will not mind when the que triples or more for predators.
FYI, the in-game voice is proximity based and you can hear the opposite side. I’ve heard a Predator talking trash to us and you can tell your teammate’s voices are coming from proximity not over a radio. It should really be changed. Provide multiple channels so the FT can choose to shout at the Pred or talk over a radio to just their teammates.
Or people accept solo queue is a bad idea if they want to win and start networking. You know, making friends to team up with. Communities everywhere so just pick… Im sick of salty, stubborn solo players trying to get the game to favor their ignorant desicion.
Play pred if you want to solo :)
If that is so why are the predators crying bloody murder about the que? Why don’t they just create private games with friends/whatever and play there? Instant ques! Oh let me guess, only FT has to make “friends”… Perfectly legit!
Pred queues are stuffed because more preds are looking for a game then there are FT’s.
I feel like common sense is not so common.
Facepalm.
I agree with the sentiment on working as a team and let’s face it there’s always going to be that one Hero who thinks he can take the predator all by himself. I said it in another thread they need to give more tips to the fire team on how best to play. Like one example explaining spotting the predator and deployables that way they are marked on the minimap. The importance of mudding up (I know should be obvious) but there’s plenty of little things that the FT can learn to get better that way when they balance the game they can get a more accurate idea on what needs to be changed instead of a kneejerk balance to make one side happy be it Predators or FT.
The problem is that the fireteam was given a really REALLY strong tool to combat a melee predator, but the casual audience either: doesnt know it exists, or knows but cant use it properly; this being the parry mechanic.
The fireteam needs a seperate easy to understand and simple to use tool for casual players, like laying an area trap down to stun preds( kind of like the preds besr trap ) … or something along those lines.
A good fireteam will absolutely shred a pred apart, but a mediocre pred will curb stomp the average pub game because the fireteam dont know how to use the parry, this is causing the weird imbalance issues.
This IS the developers fault no matter how you want to look at it. Is parry effective? Yes, will the average player use it? Probably not… in my experience, no.
They needed some sort of gadget specifically to counter it.
At the highest level parry is more than good enough, but low level players need something aswell, dont know what it would be though.
And honestly, the pred does need to be tuned back some, killing a fireteam is laughably easy right now.
Ahem, with that being said lol iv been screaming at my fireteam that im being attacked while im parrying and healing and STILL none turn to help me after surviving for 20 seconds by myself… mind you im right around the corner of a building, so even with a tool… the fireteam needs to work together aswell XDD
