This is the pattern now. Promise if we had raw numbers you could chart the full loop.
Update drops: 1-3 weeks of high player count and variable skill levels.
3-5 weeks post update: Steep decline in player count and a definative high/low skill tier
2-3 Weeks prior to update: Newbs and lifers, cycle repeats
It happens, but I play with premades daily. We never, if ever, run those classes and usually opt for recon and scouts to hunt down the pred.
Canât remember the last time I saw a premade running 4 supports or tanky classes
Is almost always potatoes. Yes, is not easy and takes time. You have to nit pick at them and if they got a short mission, lucky them. But is not like is super hard or anything.
Just donât go melee. Melee is stupid unless you are in a 1v1 scenario.
I remember a year ago when any retard pred could go in swinging the combi and down everyone in a few seconds. I do not want to go back there.
Same thing. These are some console premades that keep crossplay off
I guess⌠but if they play with crossplay off, how good are they then?
Iâve faced many good console preds that even win against us. Not that we are top tier or anything but, I consider me and my friends to be quite decent and well above average. So, Iâm sure those preds would have no problem dealing with those players⌠git gud, LMAO
Constantly ? No lol
Most of the time PC preds get into lobbies with only ps players. Sometimes 1-2 pc players, once in a while you bump into a pc premade and its always the same group of players you already know. And most of the them donât use macros. You can count in 1 hand the pc players that use macros and for those you already know that you shouldnât use the netgun and getting close will make you get the grimtech as if it was a submachinegun.
I agree on the nerfts there and think Dutch 2025 could have a soft buff.
This can be true, and the classes could still need rebalancing. Just because you like to use Recon trackers and Scout chasers to chase the predator around the map doesnât mean that 4 support field medics isnât imbalanced either.
But running quickplay is a total fucking nightmare as FT
Had a game yesterday where after someone and myself spotted the Predator using thermal vision (without highlightingâŚfucking bushes)
And this fucking potato was like what did you guys just spot
He then ignored the predator the whole match
And got upset when he wasnât reinforced
I have bumped more into ps premades running 3-4 supports or dante field medics than PCs. The types of guys that run to caves in excavation right at the start of the match and hope to stay there throwing pdls until time runs out. More than once caugh some guys doing that.
Now canât we all agree that this is dumb and not fun? Especially for Predator players?
Or do we all condone this high HP stacking of FT/ using the same classes.
The whole reason for this threadâŚ
Definitely. Heâs is a weird spot.
Any ideas at what could make him a better option?
the problem with FM for me relies on health buff, not speed. speed is alright. you can still down them after they get lifted. the problem is that health is percentage based. when is a support with thick skin, thatâs 120 HP and is not the same as picking up a scout with 75 HP.
FM should pick up with a fixed amount of HP, not a percentage. Speed is alright
Its only a problem when the players are good, the guys I mentioned sucked at doing damage, so the high HP and revive spamming only delayed the inevitable. I actually liked that match with 4 supports at the caves, was hilarious, even let them reinforce so I could get them trapped and kill them all again. They were so busy throwing pdls and trying to revive each other that they forgot to shoot me.
But anyway, some pc premades have started using tankier ft builds due to stalker and disk usage, people got tired of getting one shooted all the time, even in privates where some of us had rules of no support/fm/tracker due to high hp stacking and constant spotting some players started using it anyway.
Either increase gear or perk points I thought.
Honestly he should be able to use his wrist computer to defuse the bomb
Meaning it does it automatically but it takes time and leaves him open to attack
I think you guys are missing the point itâs less that itâs unbeatable and more that itâs annoying. Like the complaints about true plasma spammers. It just sucks the fun out of things.
BUFF FT NERF PRED
Speaking of plasma spammers
đđ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Ł
Swap his & 87âs secondary natural perks around. 2025 should have increased mud duration & mud damage resistance whilst 87 should have hipfire accuracy & hipfire damage.
You know whatâŚ
Fuck it.
Predator loses all the time anyways.
Fireteam should be able to deal the damage they do.
If the predator ainât dead before our boots hit the ground, then FT donât do enough damage!
well the disk is annoying, the elder stalker plasma is annoying, the fucking unparriable elder sword is annoying, but it is what it is. fuck off if you want to nerf the only viable weapon to punish retard preds that come spamming the elder sword like a jackass while the rest of the potatoes look away
