Every change is gonna need assessment by devs. The changes I’ve suggested are quite frankly minor and mirrors what is currently giving the FT an edge. So it makes sense they would balance.
Y’all need to chill....
You said:
Give all preds a damage reduction across the board. Give the fearless and impenetrable to your melee classes as passives down range to your range classes, and Bob’s your uncle we got ourselves a game and some extra perk points for creative use
The above is not minor tweaks.
They absolutely are considering like I said most predators already include some combination of those perks in their builds just to be viable.
Nah, because make those baseline, would allow them to equip other perks giving them a not so small buff.
Precisely the point. Predator can’t take advantage of even half their perks that’s kind of a lot of waste wouldn’t you say?
FT has meta perks that are just flat out better then the rest just as well. Let’s make BANE, THICK SKIN and a few others base line so FT can use the other perks.
You literally don’t need bane or thick skin anymore. I flat out don’t run bane anymore as it’s not even needed and I only use thick skin on scout or recon because it’s not even necessary right now.
They need to go too I feel. Except instead of being absorbed, bane can literally just vanish and it won’t make a difference
The damage reduction of impenetrable is 10%, BANE damage buff is 10%. If you don’t think BANE is irreelevant, impenetrable is irrelevant just as well.
No that…no you’re backwards.
I don’t need bane to fight preds. I need impenetrable to survive the FT. FT damage is too high

Dude, you need impenetrable to survive, FT adding BANE nullifies it. Then you’re dead. Is that not obvious? If you think BANE does nothing for FT, then impenetrable does nothing just as well.
The fact that you can handle the predator even with no impenetrable does not make it any less useful in killing the pred THAT much faster.
I don’t see a lot of guys running bane, and I don’t run it. That’s my point.
Most randoms I play with I look at the loadouts. They’re running xp boost or other dumbshit. Veterans are running other perks to fit their playstyle but almost no one is running bane
That does not mean that 10% damage is not substantial. BANE has been debated countless times of how OP makes the FT. The maximum burst build has BANE in it. Run Assault, bane, Deadly and AR. The pred melts like shit.
Giving meta perks to the predator is not a small tweak.
But FT having them is?
Gtfoh.
Having what? Specializations? Going by the devs seems so.
Plus players are more focused on leveling up then doing more damage to the Predator or simply they don’t have the perk yet. It’s a sacrifice but one many players follow to level up faster.
I think you’re misinterpreting them
How can I do that when they are saying that FT and Pred are close with slight advantage to FT BEFORE the current buffs/nerfs and that they will monitor the changes?
Because you are as always so FT biased in your perception that the very thought of any balance changes swinging towards the Pred side of things is horrific.

So you want me to link you the dictionary meaning of the word “slight”? Then we can debate if before the current buffs really means before the current bufs? Seriously?
What does this “bias” has to do with understanding a simple sentence from the devs?
