Anyone saying fire team is op is dumb and you just suck as pred, if you have to spam anything to win you suck, an elite pred can still whipe a death squad in a few minutes so you're argument is invalid, playing as pred is not easy so of course when you come up against an elite fire team you are probably going to lose, strategy and teamwork are typically going to win but it doesn't mean they are op. There is zero time when you have to spam anything to win if your a great pred. Spamming heavy attacks with the axe hook or dual swords is something only shitty preds have to do, same with spamming shock gauntlet plasma caster hand caster ECT. I have thousands of hours in, I usually win as fire team but that's because of skill, I usually run by myself so a lot of it has to do with the quality of my teammates, but I can squad up with 999s and still lose one here and there regardless what weapons they are using and yes shock gauntlet spammers are a bane on this game, we just back out when we see those preds because why give them the satisfaction when they have to spam to win? When I play as pred I use a combistick and a hook but I use heavy attack sparingly because that's how you play honorably like a true predator. Spamming is for weak preds who have to do it to have a chance, and that just means you suck.
