Honestly I think the complete opposite, the predator is way too weak. Plasmas caster does no damage, and what little it does by the time you actually reach the person you hit, the auto health regen already kicked in and healed what little damage was done. Plus not to mention the melee damage is severely weak even with the increased damage perk. I hit someone with the elder blade a good 10 to 20 times amd they didnt even go down. With the perk active. IMO the predator needs its HP or how much damage it takes to put the predator into the dying state increased by at most 50 to 75%. Or at Maximum increase all of the predators health to were the new stat for scout would be equivalent to what would be old Berserker. The predators go down and die way to easily, especially with how a lot of players just huttle together and just unload into the predator making it nearly impossible to get them. The base Melee damage a predator does needs to be increased by at most 50% it shouldnât tale more then 20 hits to down someone with a sword, thatâs just stupid. And makes no god damn sense.
why the predator needs to be nerfed
Facts
Git bad ;)
Yeah, no. This is never going to happen. Pred is underpowered as hell. Combi could pry be nerfed a bit, but there will be no more nerfs to base kit or people will stop playing completely.
Thereâs a severe power vacuum, because nobody wants to play predator below rank 44. Without Berserker and combi-stick, predator is impossible to win with unless youâre up against a new team. If you think otherwise, you clearly havenât played a match as pred.
Jesus Christ Fable you must never want the Predator players to ever win another match again. Do you realize that your proposed changes would need to be applied consistently across all of the classes? Youâd make them completely unplayable.
This laughably bad, and it reminds of the current state of balance of a game like DBD. You guys just want to be able to run circles around the Predator with reckless abandon. It makes zero sense.
All of these changes would render the Predator relatively powerless.
Exactly my thoughts. I used to play DBD a lot, and I canât stand seeing this game go down the same road. Sad how nobody wants an actual challenge anymore and just like brutalizing everything they come across.
Iâm sorry to say well but I definitely disagree with you the fact that when you are level one predator you only start out with the elder sword but when your level one fire team you start out with a mini gun thereâs no way the predators gonna sit there and win so your argument is Null and void.
So, what youâre saying is the Combi needs a nerf. Not the Predator, the Predator sucks. It takes unlocking the last weapon to be good.
Again I disagree with that statement all the predators or a different place styles thatâs how it should be you have the scout, the berserker the Hunter
All this ânerf the predatorâ, ânerf the fireteamâ whining is totally useless at this point because there are way too many factors that define if or when a Predator âseemsâ too strong or otherwise.
This needs way more time and playtesting to finetune details.
I had games where I jumped in as Berserker with combistick (thinking I would have the initiative) and I got my ass handed to me because they reacted quick as a team.
Othertimes it went different because they were poorly positioned or didn´t bother to spot me or else.
I agree with your statement I just donât want people to sit here and be like oh well the berserker predator is overpowered SwineRider
Nerfing the predator is hysterical. SeriouslyâŚmudded up.50 cals, LMGs, reinforcement, and spotting. NOTHING you can do. Total one sided slaughter. Predator is the one being hunted. How the fuck did any of this seem like a good idea??
I completely disagree with nerfing the Predator, he is already under powered.
If you think predator need nerfed then why not take away the mini guns from the fire team because they need to be nerfed as well
The predator shouldnât get marked with a magical outline at all, it should be down to the raw skill and scouting potential of the fireteam to determine where the predator is not some bullshit outline that makes it easier to shoot the predator.
Yea you arenât going to find many ppl who agree with you at all here. The overwhelming majority posting here believe the Predator is seriously under powered. Iv been saying since day one that I wasnât ready to make that call but the arguments for a buff to the Pred seem to make much more sense than call for a nerf to him.
What is nerfed
He doesnât even need much. I mean the real issue is some fire team stuff. Modify reinforcement and maybe the mudding a bit. Not remove, just moderately alter. Melee parry needs to be flat out gone though. And spottingâŚmodify that. No wall hack outline. Thatâs probably enough.
