Troubling Feedback Reveals Key Issues in Pred | Players Demand Fixes
A recent wave of criticisms from veteran players highlights ongoing concerns about the state of Pred. With over 1,500 hours logged by some players, fundamental flaws remain unaddressed, causing frustration as new players, including some from Smite, consider joining the community.
Deep-Seated Frustrations
Many players express dissatisfaction with team dynamics, specifically mentioning a lack of knowledge about MOBA strategies among teammates. "Half my teammates don’t have any MOBA knowledge at all or think all the plays they make are the correct plays," a veteran lamented after experiencing poor team performance. This sentiment reinforces concerns that the game's competitive integrity is at risk due to player skill imbalances.
Development Gaps and Gameplay Bugs
Critical gameplay bugs persist in Pred, further complicating player experiences. For instance, a notable bug with Countess's shadow slip ability causes unpredictable movement, leading to dangerous situations in battles. As players mentioned, "I have videos of this and can make a separate post. It’s kinda frustrating when I go to shadow slip to them only to go like a foot inside the tower and have to retreat". This highlights a recurring topic about the need for immediate developer attention on gameplay mechanics.
Priorities in Character Design and Community Engagement
A section of the community continues to draw attention to the lack of diverse maps and game modes. Meanwhile, less critical topics, such as character design, dominate forum discussions. Some players noted, "Sex sells," indicating that visual appeal sometimes overshadows crucial gameplay enhancements. "Some of the reasons you don’t see any posts about the Aurora Lich skin is because while it’s super sexy, it looks visually distinct and inspired," another player remarked, pointing to an ongoing trend that could cost engagement on more substantial issues.
