Stop complaining. I have played tons of pred and tons of FT. You cannot balance the game around hardcore premade groups. Well coordinated and organized fireteam are incredibly difficult to beat. Even 4 good random players are difficult. That’s the fun part. Most random fireteam groups I join are filled with literal potatoes. It is an easy win for any decent predator. In fact they can even mess around and let them reinforce.
Yes, FT was buffed. Doesn't offset the fact that rando FT are mostly potatoes

This. I fought an Elder earlier that was very mobile and pretty much wrecked the team however I was constantly on his ass and knew where the pigs where that’s how I got him into 2nd wind twice and eventually killed. By the end I had 4038 damage whereas the rest of my teams highest was 450.

As a predator main cause FT is boring and not challenging at all. FT is superior on all fronts… just one FT member

Most FT players are not that good. In fact the average player will run off and die alone looking for vert or shooting npc. Two incredible FT members against an average or below average pred is where you can begin to see FT seem overpowered. Coordination, communication and skill turn the tables in most games. Look at league, wow, overwatch. You play an OP class in wow and get dominated as below average player, but a skilled player or coordinated group with the right overpowered setup can absolutely destroy even very good folks
this is not an mmo… the game is done… about 4 big streamers are getting like 2k views at most. Nobody want to play a game like this cause they are dead just like mmos

We’re talking about competitive pvp here lol
The game is far from done.
Pre-makes are imbalanced right now, random’s in pub’s are a mixed bag and few of the guns are over powered (only slightly). It will likely stay this way for the next few patches. Just a few small tweaks each month.
Yeah, Individual items are surely overpowered. Main point is you see a lot of people that do not understand that a video game is usually not, if ever, balanced around the most skilled or organized players. If a pred is losing to a group of randoms they either sucked or made too many mistakes FT managed to capitalize off of. A good couple of coordinated skilled FT members can bring out exactly what people complain about, those overpowered and difficult mechanics a pred will suffer against. Some random kids shooting npc and splitting up gon die like paste eating monkey they are. The game is balanced around your average guy who just got home from work and wants some chill game time for a bit.
Yea for us we carry randos hard lol @DisturbedLlama played a match got 2k while another player got 1 damn damage wile the others didn’t do anything lol

Not disagreeing with you FTs damage output is insane, the only way for the FT to lose is with poor teamwork.

Yeah. Or too many mistakes a good pred capitalizes off of. I do not understand why a pred only wants to fight derp teams. As long as it’s not graphic lowering or abusing FT. Good pred v good FT are super fun matches. Like Slasher_Clone said, tweaks will come, hopefully they are tweaks that improve balance. Whatever that may mean… Good sportsmanship and all around fun should be what gaming is about, especially competitively. I do find this community to have a fair amount of toxicity and pointless ignorant complaining. Though that is totally normal, most games do.
If only they had implemented a system from the beginning that stopped teams consisting of 4 Support or same class, and matchmade based off default loadouts where it looks for a team that needs a Recon if your default is Recon etc etc
4 potato Supports running thick skin with PDW and AK/Pitbull with medkits and ammokits can still overwhelm and win against a skilled Predator. It’s a tedious, boring match of trying to chip away their health and make them use all their resources while avoiding those damn PDWs from vaporising your health at lightspeed.
They are the most boring matches I play as Predator when going up against the Dutch/Support tank squads. Varied squads allow for more dynamic engagements and creative approaches. 4 Assaults all running Bane with secondary PDW damage buff, and you’re trading 60-90% health per down with no guarantee of a claim. Obviously skilled Predators and those who’ve been mains since launch have been able to adapt with the flow and have a better success rate. New Predator players, I can’t imagine how rough it is for them.
Classes have little to do with FT performance in my opinion. Most of it is determined by PC vs PS4 still.
I am not one of those people. Hunt mode should be balanced around random’s. (No insult intended in saying random’s, just means people you don’t know.)
I am hoping that the third mode we get is ranked in some form or fashion and gives Pre-made’s and skilled Predators a place they can engage freely against people of equal rank. It’s wishful thinking but possible. Really depends on how many 2, 3 or 4 person groups we have, how Predator skill is calculated. Whether win ratios are used for either side.
I’m still turning ranked play and pre-made’s over in my head. It isn’t something I normal think about as I rarely play on a team, I like random’s. So right now, it’s not anything inspiring, it could end up being a ranked idea, or a king of the hill mode, could have something to do with tournaments.
The idea of a constantly updating score board that your team competes to move up. Showing your new position, with additional pressure factors happening to balance the ques, things like speed running, or drawing it out as long as possible on each side, being up against multiple lower rank Predators.
Like I said, still thinking about it.
That’s silly. You’re drawing an arbitrary line between the 2 platforms and saying you ignore an entire factor that obviously plays a part in who wins a match. People turn off cross play you know, there are good and bad players on both platforms.
Why try and sound like you don’t think about things before you say them?
I don’t think that would have worked. This game is better than RE-R for a number of reasons but the one at the top is, it doesn’t force you to play something else because your class is popular.

It’s not that nobody wants to fight a good team but the way the game currently is you have to fight the FT and the clock forcing the pred to be quick and make hasty decisions. Potato squads allow the predator to be more lax and methodical with their approach and essentially feels like an offline bot mode however a good/decent FT will get the objectives done quick or ignore it altogether and hunt the predator down/camp and be at areas where the pred can’t even get remotely close without taking massive damage.

Wtf does a vegetable have to do with the game?

That is a total hypothetical. You do not run into the most optimized or OP potatoes. You run into, well, literal potatoes. That’s my point, it isnt optimized or thought out and there is no coordination, or very little. Games are usually balanced around random folks.
