Venom caught cheating

Spamming caster is meant for the campers, but it works efficiently against good teams at the right times

Caster is good to use to get the first kill, after that you can risk to get closer to the fireteam and try using something else. If you jump on 4 ft and try to use only melee or even bow you will probably get melted into second wind before you can secure the kill, too much damage at once until you decrease the numbers.

Once again, Iā€™m not gonna say it again after this, there was no grief for any of you. Understand? And what else am I supposed to do other than ask for a reset when Iā€™m at a sliver of health and no damage was able to be done due to a number of different reasons, several out of my control. Really, what am I gonna do? Go waste a heal when yā€™all are already a quarter way through a short mission and waste more time? No, Iā€™m gonna get a reset and try, try again. Which I appreciate yā€™all allowing me to do so. Also doesnā€™t help that my mother kept poking into my room and distracting me with rhetorical questions and remarks about politics or something trivial.

Now referring to class stacking. Honestly, I want to see you and members of your team run a few privates against the builds the four of you were running and then try to tell me itā€™s not overpowered. Thatā€™s a collective health pool of 710 with 12 stims, each able to heal 100 health per use. If Elder Stalker, that does 150 damage with down range and a fully charged caster shot hits you THAT many times and you still havenā€™t gone down, thereā€™s a problem. When youā€™ve pumped several magazines into an impen Viking to no avail, thereā€™s a problem. Disagree?

I know man sorry. We can play again and we will use scout. So itā€™s not so much health.

Get 3 friends and play Sturmi in private use our builds and see how it works out for you.

You can run whatever the hell you want, just donā€™t class stack for crying out loud. Do a Dutch running Leader and an Assault Running Deadly(got em mixed up, my bad. Run Deadly) and then have a Recon Spotter all backed up by a Dante or Support Field Medic. That comp is the single most dangerous (aside from class and spec stacking) if you all play your parts right.

Ok can we play tomorrow we will all use different class and special. Is sniper rifle ok?

Iā€™d prefer to wait until Iā€™ve finished my classes for the semester and moved out of the house so I can have some peace and fucking quiet for once. Youā€™ve got plenty of other people to play and practice running against that team comp. And this frame rate issue has to be addressed, Iā€™m tired of getting close to someone and the game reverting to a slideshow and then OOP! Half your health is gone, mustā€™ve been you making the mistake of not being able to move.

Yeah thereā€™s more important shit to do than this game, get everything taken care of in your personal life PHG can wait.
I hope shit works out for you.

Iā€™ve faced many spammers in this game. And iā€™m no camper. Iā€™m not judging itā€™s efficiency, and i know it could work against good teams, but only a low skilled Pred is does that.
Spammers are able to win a match against good FT in 2 min, but they will never have my respect.

Oh ya but ft bullet spam, thatā€™s so respectable.

FT donā€™tt have much options do they?
But a good FT uses all whatā€™s available. Bullets, grenades, knifeā€¦

So then why are grenades fine but not a plasma blast?

Bias against the pred, thatā€™s why!

Lol honestly the only thing I hate that some preds so Is the bow hopping shit without switching up at all.

Fucking boring as shit to play against.

At least against a pasma splammer you got a chance to snipe their mask.

Agree. But spamming the plasma the entire match? Even plasma shooting a downed FT?
Bunny hoping itā€™s the same thing, but at least they have balls to expose themselves engaging the FTā€¦ And if you are good enough to survive the arrows, at some point they iā€™ll end making the Pred change itā€™s strategy or get closer to FT to pick up the arrows
Now plasma casting from a rooftop many meters away the entire fucking match, that is a no skill game style at all. Specially with Elder Stalker. My opinion only.
Also, from all the top tier Predators, PSN or PC, how many of them are plasma spammers? None i guess

I disagree cause then youā€™re saying that ft takes no skill, because theyā€™re using all range, non stop.

And if youā€™re going full plasma, you HAVE to make sure you ainā€™t getting sniped, nades, or just shot in general.

Tho most preds switch it up sometime during the match.

Also the complaint of shooting ppl while their down is kinda dumb, because all of us shoot preds who are healing.

Itā€™s ok for ft to kill a wounded pred, but not them?

Nah.

Idk Iā€™m plasma heavy in my style, depending on the match, but I still switch it up for fun.
Just wish pred wasnt made out of paper and melee was more fluid, fun and effective.

If bullets had a splash radius, yeah it would take no skillsā€¦ But since you need to aim against a moving/leaping/running target it requires more skills than shooting a plasma shot that can down almost any FT with the correct loadout and even if you donā€™t aim directly, the splash damage will do itā€™s work sooner or laterā€¦ If you are sniped, you just have to make sure you shot and move.
Shooting a healing Predator itā€™s the only thing a FT can do. Is there any other option? Can the FT use it for bate? Can they clame it? So you know, i donā€™t ecen chase Preds anymore, just the sweaty ones.
Ok, the melee is kinda broken, i know, it exposes the Pred a lot. But if youā€™re skilled enough, you can melee the FT to get good damage and get outta there.
Again, i can agree spamming the plasma against campers that hide in buildings. Or using it to wear the FT. Or using it to get rid of an annoying sniper or field medic. I guess itā€™s ok. Using it the entire match? Ober and over again. It requires almost no skills to be effective.
And i ask again, from all the top tier preds, how many uses this strategy?

Bullets are hitscan, plasma is a projectile. I have melted top preds with bullets with 300-400 ping cus its that easy, and they are fast. Unless you are doing point blank quick shots with plasma, most people wonā€™t hit shit with full plasma shots from far with a bad ping. Using plasma from far the effective way requires good positioning and angles that will prevent the ft from melting you before you can release the shot, plus predicting where the plasma will be by the time it reaches the location where the fireteam is.

Most predators that I have seen using plasma the entire match miss most shots, they rarely get a kill against full teams so I donā€™t get why people have the impression plasma is some sort of aimbot free pass into victory. I have seen players that say shit about plasma try using it when they played as predator and it didnā€™t seem to have helped them ever win against me, so there must be more to it.

If winning with plasma is so easy, then why so few players can do that against me ? Just shooting plasma randomly might not require skill, but winning with it does.

Pretty sure some do.
But non stop, like only that is pretty rare.

I still think even with the splash damage,
Itā€™s fair game to fire back at ft the same way ft fires at pred.

I tend to go easier on ft than I do on preds tho.
A bit often il let the ft do the mission and il give tips if theyā€™re new.

Not for preds tho. Even if new I aim to murder them so they can hopefully learn how bullshit ft is lol

Cause yur special.
