Huntress has no real counterplay with her buffs!

She just throws 7 hatchets with no time to react and spams them. It‘s unfair. There was a reason she had addons to increase them to 7. Now she has 7 and can take other addons. The wind up speed buff was also too much.

    the problem is not 7 hatchets imo, the wind up was the most problematic part of it, you can´t really mind game her in pallets anymore

    Now she can basically use 4 addons. Yeah you got nothing you can do, besides hoping huntress is bad. Also all huntresses are now camping and they eat through endurance extremely fast

    Huntress is actually extremely loopable. Here’s all you do, greed every single pallet, every single time. If she ever respects for the wind up you get more loops, if she doesn’t, then you just made a 110% killer circle that object so many times for an m1 that she’s losing the game anyway because that was way longer of a chase than she can afford. Win/win. She’s probably the most loopable killer in her tier.

    What am I supposed to do when she proxy camps and hits every shot. Her wind up is so fast you can‘t just say run somewhere in time and even if you get somewhere and dodge everything it takes ages until she runs out of ammo.

    Proxy camping is an any killer thing, not a huntress thing. If she’s hitting every shot then you need to practice dodging. Huntresses are missing way more shots on me than they’re landing. Use line of sight to your advantage and hug objects

    You prerun since she's 4.4m/s at range her hatchets are reactable 90% of the time. You loop rock tiles and tiles with lots of ways to break los while running them. Drop pallets early before she gets to pull a hatchet or when she misses (quite a few tiles are safe with pallet down). She is good at camping, but if first chase isn't bad or in basement she might get a 2k at best if you just let them sit on hook for a while.

    Huntress has tons of counterplay. The best way to learn what works is to play the killer that is plaguing you, pun intended. Huntress is not as easy to play as many other killers. Many players don’t realize how much practice it takes to “hit every shot”. I main huntress when I play killer, and I can tell you, some days you hit most of your shots, and some days you miss them all. Try playing some matches like that, where you miss everything with her. She’s super slow and easy to loop if you think. You can’t run every killer the same. That would be exceptionally boring.

    Personally I think they should reduce the hatchets to 6 instead of 7.
