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

Acurracy > Damage

When you can empty 50 bullets in less than 2 seconds it doesn’t matter if another does more damage per bullet. You won’t be able to nail every shot of the AK.

That’s why the grimtech is better than the 1011 at close range, even though each bullet does less damage. Is 30 bullets vs 14 before reload. 18 bullets per second vs 7.

Tests against standing still objects don’t paint the whole picture.

In any case the highest DPS weapon is the minigun, but why nobody mentions it and even ask for buffs? because is very situational.

Go use the minigun like you used the 1011 and see how fast pred goes down

and there it is… that is the list also of some of the GREATEST PRED PLAYERS. Less than a handful there do not play pred.

Literally what we are saying is, the best players give each other problems, so is natural players at lower levels will find them unbeatable, either as Pred or as FT

Huh? I just said fix the tracking. The tracking is a meme. This is not new info. Hell, sometimes strikes just go through the FT. 🤨

#144

that’s ping brother, not tracking.

Host a private match and almost all bugs on this game are gone.

Fucking bow and plasma crosshair is broken at high ping.

Ping is a fucking mess. That’s why I try to not play privates unless is with some of the close friends or I’m bored as fuck

#145

Melee is worse with high ping but sometimes the bad latency makes you double hit so it balances it out lol.

Yes…

What I’ve been leading to and making as my point is that a 20% win rate amongst the best of the best I feel is a little imbalanced.

I’d personally feel that a 60/40 split at the top would be most preferable. So it’s not necessarily that people are bitching because they’re mediocre pred players that can’t handle playing at the top of the game. More to the fact that it’s an imbalanced buggy mess that could use some adjustments and trying to have conversations about what can be adjusted FT side is only natural as that side seems to have a slight advantage still.

but is not 20%

is more like 50 or 60

but 20% would still be ideal since is 4 against 1. 1/5 = 20%

#148

You just said earlier Sam will lose probably 80% of his matches in the top crowd…that’s an 80/20 split…

I’d say he’d probably lose, I know he doesn’t ;)

I was just exaggerating because even at 20% win ratio, feels like a good rate

#150

The winrate can depend a lot on the Predator player ping and if the the fireteam is gonna use stuff like field medic, tracker, pdls.

There is a reason why for a long time in privates we didn’t allow using that stuff. But now there is Stalker with disk on the Predator side so oh well. I think that both sides could have more fun matches if the predator decides to not use Stalker with disk and the fireteam doesn’t use tracker, medic and pdls. But that’s just me.

Then why is everyone who uses it complete Shyte?

#152

I disagree I feel that ratio is a little to one way. Why would I want to play pred if I’m winning 1 out of every 5 matches

I’ve been invited to matches where sam has wiped gesp, voka and alan in less than 2 minutes with ease.

Sorta towards OPs original point of the thread.

I wanna test some privates nerfing damage for everyone around 50% and see how it goes

We did it on a clash match and it didn’t felt like Blade was owning our asses

I’m hoping it could ease out the skill gap between players because at 50% damage it gives more chances to recover from mistakes

#157

because you can’t move with it

Goes to show that DPS means shit if you can’t use it viably

Hence, why pistols punish heavily dumb preds, which totally deserve it.

#158

The only scenario I see it as useful is against a downed Predator

Granted I’ve never used it only seen countless taters die while equipping it

#159

Because the chances of versing a team at your skill level are less than 10%.

So you will win 90% of your mathes, guaranteed, and then from the other 10% you still have 20% chance of winning. So in total, you have 92% chance of winning every time you play pred.

Math is simple. Statistics don’t lie

#160

its hard to say if a nerf is needed since most teams are potatoes, i find solo queue FT is harder than Pred
