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

buff the entirety of the assault arsenal instead of nerfing one weapon?

well you want balance.

You just can’t take away the only tool FT has against an unparriable weapon, and is still not going to melt a pred in less than 2 seconds unless you go running straight into the FT’s face, in which case, you deserve to be melted for being stupid

You have the disc, plasma, axe, norse hammer, all of them are 1 or 2 hits, the elder which is 3 hits and almost impossible to parry unless you are actively waiting for it with your knife out… and you want to nerf one or two guns because you want easy dumb kills? GTFO

… where have you been this entire conversation?

Yes we want balance.

These 1 hit situations 1 v 1 yes will provide pred the SLIGHTEST chance of even getting a hit on FT.

THEN second wind. (You know the other 3 players playing the game?)

Again.

Your suggestion doesn’t bring balance anywhere closer to where it needs to be.

I even took down @DPRK_Chopra and @BeerWarrior66 with the norse hammer, 1v1. These are players I can’t even beat on their own. So whoever says melee is not viable doesn’t know what is talking about. Melee is very viable, just not easy as you want it to be. And it ever won’t be. Because that’s how it was at launch and it immediately got nerfed, along with zerker, because it was just too damn easy.

Assault deadly with hammerhead is also capable of making Preds with elder sword go second wind before they get you down.

It’s like I’m talking to a brick wall… lmao

There literally is no point acting like FT are so incapable of outperforming the predator, even at non competitive levels.

Your suggestion either.

Either everyone gets nerfed on nobody does. As simple as that. Nerfing one without the other is just pointless. Everyone is a glass cannon now. Premades are untouchable unless you change your tactics. Good players still win almost all games. I really don’t get your complains. You want to win 100% of your matches with ease… Not gonna happen

Good FT player loses: GG (moves on)

Mediocre Pred Player loses: Fuck this unbalanced game.

Idk, I personally feel Melee itself is viable In a way that @JelouGaming describes, but buffing Assault Rifles just because the AR doesn’t have the same amount of TTK vs a Pistol in the matter of a few milliseconds is ludicrous.

FT can easily Out-DPS Pred regardless of the weapon used.

tried it, it won’t second wind a hunter at point blank range standing still even with bane. Scout, valkyrie, alpha, sure… all other classes, no.

And if you have bane, you don’t have thick skin. One elder sword combo and you are down. Hammerhead takes 3 seconds to empty the 45 bullet clip

Wait hang on, I just realised. Is the claim that you can’t parry the Elder Sword trying to be made…?

I was being sarcastic about the assault rifles buff, sorry if I didn’t express myself correctly to make it obvious

you can, but rarely if ever with quick melee. You have to take your knife out and use the heavy attack. By the time you do that, you already have two hits on you

By the same token, there is no point in acting like predators can’t outperform ft.

Just ask Thunderwolf, Dan, Prozi, even Sam.

If it was so impossible, there wouldn’t be great pred players who can take on the toughest of ft.

I have made hunters go second wind like that while they tried to use elder sword, katana, alpha sickle vs me but I didn’t take all the melee damage, I don’t stand still I jump around sideways or backwards to dodge some of melee attacks. Took like 4-5 seconds to second wind. Its not gonna work 100 % of the time, I don’t expect to be able to 1v1 all melee preds.

I feel easier to do with hammerhead sometimes instead of 1011 since its more accurate.

these guys wanna win against super good premades when they themselves aren’t equally good… is just nonsense.

Just imagine if they balanced it that way… only Preds we could kill are potatoes. And potato FT’s? Forget about it, they would go down (not that they don’t right now anyway) by the most unskilled pred swinging the combi like it was a teenage majorette with a twirling baton

Or nerf the pistol. 🤔

Obviously, the assault rifles already have high DPS. Everyone complains about how fast the assault rifles and SMGs melt the predator, why not bring the Pistols down to be somewhere closer to Assault rifle DPS? They are secondary weapons after all.

This right here 💯

Some people think they are better than they actually are.

I am running with the lmg now and that tactic, though it takes a few seconds, for me works better than the hammerhead, because of how long you can keep firing it without reload.

I am not interested in SW, just do enough damage so the pred backs away. Problem is most still don’t even if they are missing, oh well…

you mean nerf the pistol so we all go back to the vector and then everybody complains the vector is too OP because nobody is using the pistol anymore…

Got it
