If you watch Samhain’s latest video about PHG’s future, it explains a lot about why FT is buffed up and why they see certain this as “unfair”. The devs themselves are not good at this game, in every livestream they play so basic. And they’ve admitted that this game is balanced in favor of the generic pick up and play gamer, which is why FT is so overpowered, and they’ve been slowly downgrading the Pred. Their excuse for not having a 2v8 or whatever, because of one or more FT member being singled out, matches this mentality. Logic suggests that yes, there would be 7 or 11 more FT protecting this guy, but because the concept alone of that happening is “unfair”, its best to not even include such a game mode.
Because, god forbid Illfonic receive any negative complaints, right?
