Disarm intent, bane of the tackle.

Post by Heckenshutze » 11 Feb 2017, 15:12

Not much to say, every pred players know that predators are very weak when it comes to tackles even the ones coming from young runners, you can even get tackled to five times in a row which is annoying. Predators are capable of body slamming a small xeno from drones to hunters so why don't make the disarm intent work as a riot shield when it comes to tackle (the ability block a tackle) in order to make it balanced, it will need to be used with an empty hand meaning that you won't block if youre using a weapon.

I second this; Predators are simply weak in CQC due to tackle-spam. As soon as 2 xenos show up there's barrely anything you can do if one of the two is speedy and good- Since even if you're cloaked some good xenos can keep you down for a while just cheesing their way like this.

Worse even, I've seen preds get tackled by marines and messed with by 3+ of them, kept on the ground for a while like this.
CM was obviously inspired by Starcraft: Ghost opening. At least when marines takes too long to deploy.
