For most of us even while playing ft solo the random predator will lose most of the time.

@Elliott626 you’ve seen devs play. You’ve seen how balance has been addressed since day 1. It won’t change.

In conclusion: fuck predator

why?

Yes. Perfect.

Please, @OldKingHamlet and @Courier, when you return and see this, beg whomever makes these decisions to make this happen.

#48

yeah, and for most of us when playing pred, the pred will win most of the time

you gonna punish good players because of potatoes?

If you are constantly losing as pred, you are just bad and need more practice. Took me a few weeks of constant playing to start winning. Now I rarely lose, even if I make stupid mistakes.

#49

Think I’m jumping on this bandwagon!

Alien scum invading our planet.

Why the hell does the Pred have so much health anyways!?

Pred players asked for one shot weapons, they got two.

…still not happy smh.

4 actually.

Downrange + fervent or stalker you can one shoot classes with 150hp with disk, plasma and bow with a charged headshot.

Fearless + ghost you can do that with secondary attack of axe.

I think headshot with combi would do 145, so almost there as well. But that’s if there isn’t a support close to them, with the 20% damage reduction the Predator won’t be able to one shoot.

My point was…the source of OPs frustration was how annoying it is to run into stacked FM premades a lot. It’s kinda annoying like FTs facing plasma spammers…and now 1 shot builds all the time…it takes a lot of fun out of the game.

Your response is…

#53

Yeah that stack with the combi throw is nasty.

I think the issue isn’t lack of pred dps, it’s the broken FT abilities (DPS health field medic spotter PDL etc) multiplied by 4 that’s the issue.

I think some sort of class lock would be helpful.

This is a huge gamble by comparison to ranged though. Yeah you can one shot but you’re completely exposed and God help your ass if you miss lol

#55

Oh, and 4 minute rounds WITH reinforce. No way pred can out DPS that most times.

But overall balance is better than ever IMO. At this point I don’t think it’ll change much.

#56

This is what we all are dancing around.

Everyone can go “Pred can do x, y and z”, but why does no one care about the dmg ft can put up as a problem?

Pred can’t do x,y, and z, when FT can literally second wind a pred in a LITERAL blink of an eye.

Pretty sure FT hasn’t struggled once for damage output since the game has been released.

So why is it a problem to have more of a challenge dealing less damage?

I’m utterly confused.

Decreasing dmg won’t decrease good players skill. So… no one wants a challenge?

#57

I mean any one of us routinely 1v1s the pred.

In a 1v4, that’s a problem. It’s simple math.

This is still the very last thing I ever want to see. I understand why but it’s just too restrictive especially if you’re running randoms in QP I’d literally lose my shit if I couldn’t run my scout duelist build cuz some dipshit has it while running a shotgun and xp perks

Give FT c4 or claymores

Or the ability to plant grenades on corpses/pigs

My response is that there are equally annoying builds for pred. Use them. Fight fire with fire.

Why do you think I use the grimtech macro? I got tired of getting downed by that fucking elder sword which is almost impossible to parry, on top of the bug you already know of. When a fucking 5 old got me with it I said fuck it. Whatever. I don’t care.

Now I fucking wonder how many pred players here lose to 4 five year olds running field medic.
