About the pull request
It's a nudge in the right direction for the predator WL, as they've been severely underpowered ever since the "glass cannon" idea. The glass cannon idea is simply too weird for us, as we were supposed to give more damage but the rework got abandoned and we were stuck with low armor. In it's current state, any above average marine can very easily kill a predator. This change will hopefully turn them into something more than a loot pinata.
Explain why it's good for the game
As apart of the glass cannon predator rework, predators had their armor reduced; although the rework got abandoned and we were stuck with low survivability and low damage. This PR is good for the game as it'll make the fights last longer, the predators will cornerslime (and slime in general) less and make predators pose an actual threat instead of being easier to kill than xenomorphs
I also increased the armor of thralls because they've been completely abandoned as one marine with 2 bullets could easily ruin their round. Now it takes around 3-4 🗡️
I fully intend to revisit this when the xeno buff (to preds) comes along, @Git-Nivrak get on ittttt
I'll be closely maintaining an eye in case of a testmerge.
