Revert Huntress

I feel the need to preface that this is coming from a P100 PS4 Huntress main of 3 years, from the 5th anniversary to the 8th. Even though I play on console, I can still win a lot of my games. I have never felt like the killer was underperforming.

The moment I saw her name on the roadmap for changes, I knew trouble was ahead. My suspicions were correct. Huntress received 3 significant buffs in the 7.6.0 PTB, 1 of which was reverted. However, Huntrees was already a killer considered to be the ideal balance for killer powers. She already performed very well before the nerfs, and most people agreed she didn't need any nerfs or buffs. To further kick Huntress fans in the teeth, teo of her best designed add-ons were reworked to add-ons never worth running and disliked by Huntrees players.

So, I am requesting that you revert the other 2 unwanted, and noticeably disliked, buffs that she had received. Additionally, it would be best to revert the changes to her 2 add-ons. Haste on Huntress is a poor design idea, especially with how amazing the add-ons were for beginners, beforehand.

It bothers me that a killer people agreed to be well designed for her entire 6 year existence had to be changed purely for the sake of making it unreasonably easy for new players, when she previously had the perfect learning curve. What this also did was make her perform too well for experienced players. She can now run 4 add-ons.

It doesn't help that the reason we were given was just excusing yourselves for not wanting to rework a single map that has been problematic since it's release. Treatment Theatre is a map with mixed opinions, but it is agreed that it is Huntress' worst map, if not Underground Complex. Not only is it bad for Huntress, but also many M1 killers that get countered by windows. The RNG on that map can cause chains of windows and pallets that can make it take minutes to get one hit.

It's a shame to see my favourite character in the entire game become less fun to play. She just isn't as enjoyable now that she is so much easier and stronger. I find more enjoyment out of Vecna now, who has replaced her as my main.

You lost a dedicated Huntress main with this one.
