Just another reason why Predators should become MedRP. They try something new like slaves and its shut down; might as well just make them a wildcard in the round instead of a highRP role.
Don't fret my boy, sometimes it all depends on the predator themselves.

Everyone has their own way of playing predator, and while I agree that a lot of them could improve on their interactions with humans, not all of them are just bland encounters.

I know I certainly try my best to make for decent interactions with marines other than roaring constantly (even if the translator is kinda poopy). They mostly turn out quite well, but that is probably because I am not always charging at marines like a banzi-charging samurai.
Sometimes, bravery comes from the most unlikely sources.

its a little strange. ert teams are randomly picked and arguably can have just as much influence on the course of the round, no whitelist or rp expectations

if its because preds are so buff they have to be hidden behind a whitelist, well, why not debuff them some? it's wild how tanky they are in addition to their speed, power, and stealth

when feweh is a predator I get randomly trapped, dragged off and murdered

when xur is a pred, I get marine friendo just for him to walk away with his marine friendo

when biolock is a pred, he locks me in a cave as a marine and I get killed slowly by them

when other people are preds, I get awkwardly stared at for 2 hours and hear laughing in the distance

none of these happen often enough to change my opinion of predators, they are not good nor bad and unless you have someone like TR abuse the fuck out of them, they generally cause no issues

Dunno about other preds, I don't usually hunt that much currently.. but I focus only on Xenos, and when xenos aren't available due to balance reasons, I just watch the struggle.

It's weird when I hunt a marine, like it was already said, it depends on the predator. Remember, lore wise, humans are like deer for predators. If you have a deer and a lion in the same place, you, as a Hunter with a lust for prestige, you will hunt the lion.

But it's a fact that predators, most of them, don't hesitate on hunting marines because they're all worthy and always available because the numbers, most of the times. But, marines, like, all rounds, get hunted because their unga dunga brain. Always looking for the pred or going straight to the lodge to loot it.
