Who needs balance?! (Buff FT nerf Pred!)

I’ve got into a match with 3 random field medics and watch them die twice while I second wind the pred 3 times and exfil, playing scout.

Honestly I don’t get why y’all keep complaining about field medics when the tankiest classes are dante and dutch 87, and both move fast comparatively, and scout is probably the most dangerous of all FT classes as they can keep up and chase down any pred that is not using long jump.

Would I have still won? Probably. But I honestly just didn’t feel like dealing with the nonsense 🤷‍♀️

it’s good xp for the pred

Lol fair enough

Don’t take this the wrong way, but do you understand why some ft players leave when they see plasma spammers in the lobby? They don’t want to deal with the nonsense either, specially in ps since they can’t aim as good as pc players can in order to counter it.

oh this i totally understand but it’s a different problem all together when a player leave after the first skirmish before reinforcements

predators are required to wait longer for a game and therefore for them to do well they have to play at range as to not get merk’d in the first 4minutes

there absolutely should be a leaver penalty of 4minutes if you leave prior to reinforce on both sides

well that’s because more than 20% of the players want to play pred… simple math, but oh well, what can illfonic do to motivate people to play FT and discourage people from wanting to play pred? FT nerfs and Pred buffs, foh shoore

🤨

I always use my team as bait. 98% of the games I play, I end up with the highest damage count. And I’m constantly raging on the mic about how my team can’t shoot worth shit…I know, bad form, but I JUST played a match where I was downed, Pred was dicking around and almost SW, but nobody else could hit it. Like they literally were shooting around it rather than at it. I like this game a lot, but there’s a reason I’m a Pred main…

you do understand the reverse is also bad?

I wish we could go back like a year. Nobody had specializations. The cloak had just been buffed. Balance was almost perfect then.

Specializations aren’t the answer. Maps, modes, bug fixes, and new ways too engage and diversify play are

Been playing this game for nearly a year and I don’t remember a time when pred mains didn’t complain about ft being op.

When was this magic made up balanced period that everyone talks about?

it doesn’t exist this game was never balanced the only questionable period was wether or not the game was well balanced at launch most ft didn’t know what they were doing and few ft guns have been nerfed argueably ft was stronger then than they are now therefore we will never know how well balanced the game was at launch aside from obvious bugs

like leap slam and bunny hopping

if the game was not fun for either side people would not play it

we can tell from que times like when FT had specs for 4 months and pred recieved no updates pred ques plummeted to less than 5 minutes for days

What I get out of all this is that most people don’t like to lose to better players, that’s all.

Correction, most pred mains hate losing to good ft as if good ft should never win.

people don’t like to lose to something they perceive as unfair moreso

normally you’d have something the dev’s would do to kind of bridge this gap or make things seem more fair by providing tools or more information something the dev’s fail to do on both ends most of the time

How is a team of highly skilled ft players winning 95% unfair?

Or highly skilled pred mains winning 95% unfair

Because that’s the reality of this game.

it’s not the problem is the 90% of people experiancing it due to the matchmaker so now the dev’s have to do something about the percieved unfairness

or they hide it away via the matchmaker like every other game does

but if you implement any kind of ranked matchmaking Pred queues will skyrocket and then you will also complain
