Does Huntress Need Recoding?

Seems like every hit just never connects with my hitbox correctly EVER. Just think she was designed for Killer host in mind...it's probably my most annoying Killer to play against because of these hits and we are supposed to be on 60 tick refresh rate servers as well as always having green ping. Only explanation is it's like Dead Hard where it was made for Killer host and not Dedicated Servers.

    It’s hard to tell

    They need to test her on LAN to see if there is actually a problem.

    But l really think projectile killers are always gonna be a problem with these dogshit servers.

    Her hatchets are wider than itself and a survivors' hitbox is wider than themselves. All it has to do is overlay to hit. Latency makes it look even worse, though.

    If the killer is closer to the server than you, it'll be much worse due to latency.

    Short answer: Yes, she was designed for P2P, not for Dedicated Servers.

    Long answer: Yes, BUT the Devs have talked a few months ago to rework Dead Hard so that it works on Dedicated Servers. Basically the same problem, designed for P2P, Killer having 0 Ping. They came up with that over a year after Dedicated Servers were released and months have passed since then without any more information. AND we dont even know the result, maybe they end up breaking the Perk.

    Now imagine how long it would take to recode Huntress AND have a similar feeling for the Huntress-player like now, with it being fair for the Survivor as well. Because in the end, Huntress should not be broken by the Devs attempt to fix her.

    So I doubt that there will be something happening anytime.

    But I totally understand the frustration, Huntress was one of the most fun Killers to go against, but since Dedicated Servers, she is not fun to play against IMO. Hits look simply wrong. It gets even worse on EU, because I think that many Russian players are playing her (probably because she is a Russian Character) and since Russians have to connect to EU-Servers, they will have high Ping (without them being at fault at all), so the Hits will be miserable.
