Slinger

So I have been hearing quite a bit of smaller streamers that I watch hate slinger because of his zoning potential and his ability to insta-shoot someone by just pressing m2 and m1 at the same time. How do you guys feel about it?

    He’s one of the best area campers I’ve seen. He’s not particularly good at crossing maps though. We’ll see how the map adjustments affect his ability.

    I feel like Deathslinger is underpowered. To me, he's just a weaker Huntress, and while I'm not very good against Huntress, I usually have no problem against a Deathslinger. The only problem is when people don't look behind them while they're being chased, or have general awareness of their surroundings!

    When you drop a pallet against Huntress, you get hit with a hatchet. When you drop a pallet against Deathslinger.... he can't hit you anymore (with the exception of pallets he can slide around, of course). There are many moments where a Deathslinger can't hit you that a Huntress would easily be able to, and yes, I know that Huntress has feedback when she's raising and charging her hatchets, but the hitbox on her hatchets is much larger and she also has infinite range. And unless you have reload speed addons on Deathslinger, you are punished pretty heavily for missing a shot.

    I feel like Deathslinger needs some small buffs, but I don't know where.... maybe make the hitbox larger on his harpoon or something like that!

    Since he went live I’ve never seen a Deathslinger step further than maybe 24m from the hook. Never, not a single one.
