Huntress
So why did she get gigabuffed?
Asking for a friend.

She did, then she didn't. The Entity giveth, and taketh away. Let you friends know so they come back to the game! <3

She didn't get way too much 2 hatchets and 10% windup barely make up for 6.5 years of negative changes and map updates aka slap 400 trees around with massive branches that prevent you from doing cool stuff, 5 indoor maps, and putting almost every gen in a closed off spaces so less map pressure. And well the main reason for the buffs some maps are just massive locker deadzones with my favorite examples being badham and haddonfield, nearest reload can easily be a +10s walk
Id say after 6.5 years a bit of basekit buffs were well deserved since they can't sacrifice the artistic integrity of maps to make huntress, dredge, and trickster better

They wanted her to have much faster speed when she raised her hatchets.
The devs literally wanted her to be ridiculously overpowered. The community had to make an uproar to stop this happening.
That is a sign of where the game is heading. The devs want overpowered killers with a 60%+ win rate.

Huntress was already a scary killer if the player was really skilled but still allowed room for counterplay. She has a high skill ceiling.
I can let one extra base-kit hatchet slide but two is going overboard.

I still don't know why they buffed Huntress, she didn't need it and I cant say I saw anyone asking for it.
Just be grateful all the buffs from the PTB didn't make it to live servers!

She wasn't gigabuffed and she was buffed because she's gotten weaker as map design changed to include a lot more clutter and los blockers.

The devs want overpowered killers in the game and throw balance out the window. Killers are the power role and deserve to win every match!

No idea. She was a perfectly good killer beforehand. Now she's pretty overtuned in the right hands IMO.

Well to quite Zubatlel "Because Huntress is dogsh** against good players".
I would go with the map design argument as well many of the newer maps have really weird hitboxes and too much stuff to put in line of sight making her annoying to play as. But I would say even with those changes she is Allright to go against, nowhere near as annoying as Trickster to go against.

I think her buffs are fine.
That movement speed one on PTB was absolutely too much and it would be S tier Killer if they want put it there.
Now she has 2 more hatches and bit faster ready up time like… come on, its not a huge deal. People overeact imo.
