Do they not like the predator or something? It’s getting to be not even fun amymore.
Why do they keep buffing them?

I wanna say they’re favoring the FT, but there’s gonna be people telling me no they’re not.

I think they are trying to seal the steep cliff of a skill gap between predator and matchmade ft’s. of course any attempt at that really does make premades all the more obscene to fight but honestly im starting to become desensitized to that.

Do they not like predator? Does the one arrow kill mean anything to you? Do they need to buff pred so much that he just runs through things and FT get killed ? Do they really need to bring back the button that blows up FT players when pressed?

This last patch did see a buff to the FT but it also saw a buff to the Predator along with a whole bunch of changes in an attempt to better balance things out a bit.
They’re trying to give the majority of random FT players, who aren’t very good, a chance against average Predator players who steamroll them every game. Of course this can have adverse effects on the higher levels of play as a well-coordinated FT will steamroll all but the best Predator players and so we see constant topics about nerfing/buffing the FT/Predator.
What we need is a ranked and an unranked mode so the more casual players and randoms can play against each other while the teams and hardcore players can have their own space as well.

The devs will be balancing off data, so if Preds are winning some matchups they need to balance that.
I think it would help if the devs put more rationales in their patch notes explaining why they have changed something, so threads like this don’t turn into people thinking the devs are only balancing because it appears they prefer one team over the other.

They’re balancing around solo que’s.

Because the pred queue is big enough as it is. If a few crying pred mains (virgins) quit the game then it is of no consequence. If FT players (mamma’s boys) quit, the game dies.
James Cameron understands your post but keeping the FT players happy is necessary.

Which buffs were these then?🤣
The Warclub buff, that did absolutely nothing useful or good?
Anything else, because all I see are nerfs and changes that shouldn’t have needed to have been made in the first place (spotting finally addressed, reduced level of sound from Predator movement and when cloaked. These aren’t buffs, they were rectifying oversights) meanwhile Fireteam are treated like children, given actual buffs to damage output (like they needed anymore) as well as new weapons and kit which act as an even bigger crutch for weak gaming.
City Hunter with a smidge of extra health movement speed that’s negligible. Wrist Launcher, with only 10 shots that’s difficult to aim let alone land a shot.
Samurai with a little bit more health but pathetic stamina and movement speed. Katana, a great weapon sure but the stamina drains for doing a combo are ridiculous.
Nothing of real value and of benefit to a Predator player has been added, whereas every month is double Christmas for Fireteam.

The predator mask health got buffed. It takes 3 sawz50 hits to destroy it, and if you take protection perk, it takes 13 sawz50 hits to destroy the mask.
Also, medic and large pouch makes predators almost impossible to kill.
Which is still ridiculously easy. A mask made from alien metals should be much stronger. Hardly a buff.
Large Pouch enabling Predator to carry 4 Health Kits, something else that shouldn’t need to be. 2 Health Kits as standard for the Predator is pathetically underwhelming. They are no way comparable to FT health syrettes with their rapid healing while still being able to engage.
These are not considered buffs by most, and should’ve been implemented months ago.

You seriously need to be writing a book and making money not wasting useful time on this forum, this is why I think you’re dumb you do decent creative writing and waste it here
Because the game is balanced around FT pubs using controller on default sensitivity hotmicing with their vaccum cleaner and fan on as they mud up infront of the pred, as thats the majority of the playerbase.
Instead of adding aim assist & encouraging situational awareness they just overtune damage perks and guns so one person has to shoot the pred for a few seconds to kill it. This allows the solo player to use his braindead teammmates as bait for a psuedo 1v1 but destroys higher end play.
