Huntress overrated?
I personally have mixed feelings and experiences with her. Sometimes I absolutly stomp sweaty tryhard survivors, sometimes I barely kill 2 survivors against just average survivors.
And that's not because of having "a good/bad day" but more because of the maps. Some maps are to big, so her slow movement is really hurting.
Some maps are hard or impossible to use M2 at loops (I'm looking at you farm maps) or just to stealthy (spirit map for example).
I feel like, Huntress is really powerful against swf and solos who are overaltruistic swarming, but against just smart and organised swf groups it's really difficult and I see billy, nurse and spirit much much better and stronger.

Very overrated. She's way too easy to loop when she has no hatchets. She should be at 115% ms in such scenarios.8

Cant decide..
When I play Huntress the survivors wreck me.
When I'm against her I never escape.0 -
As long as hitboxes and ping are a threat, shes too powerful in most games. If this will ever be fixed, it can be discussed, how powerful she really is.

Huntress might be the worst killer when dedicated servers hit.
She isnt great now and when you dont play a projectile killer in realtime anymore.... well good luck0 -
It's overrated against good survivors, good survivors can dodge the hatchets pretty easily despite the broken hitboxes, against average survivor, someone with good aim can rekt them pretty easily.

Huntress depends on skill.
Killer mains like umbra, zubat, scott etc. get 3-4k almost all the time with her.
I love her because if the killer is skilled, she gives them their kills, if the players are not good, she is a horrible killer.
We need more killers like huntress, spirit and nurse (I can't believe I say nurse but whatever) that rewards skill and punishes bad gameplay.

I don't watch streams, but whenever I watch a video of them on YouTube highlighting how they completely stomp and destroy survivors withing 2 minutes I'm not really impressed, I'm just thinking "well, nothing that special against those bad survivors right?"Delfador said:Huntress depends on skill.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not discrediting these streamers, I'm just saying that I all I see on YouTube is how they stomp potatoes, I never really saw a match of them how they verse really good survivors and I'm pretty sure that if they verse those good survivors (aka death squads) their skill won't help them out because of the limitations huntress has2 -
I either destroy or get destroyed when playing her.
She is a really strong killer if you are good with your aim and predicting, she can suffer from looping as good survivors can bait her near a pallet so she winds up and then keep running gaining more loops.
I don't think she is overrated she just takes knowledge and skill to use, Sverkeren (twitch) for one has made some shots through the smallest of gaps I never thought possible.0 -
I've played a fair bit of Huntress so I can say that she is definitely overrated. She's a great killer most of the time, but she definitely requires skill. I've played a bunch of matches against more experienced players and when you are on an even level of elevation the skilled survivor can usually endure if there is a loop they can seek cover behind. However, much like the ending of Revenge of the Sith, once you get the high ground (such as a hill) she is much more dangerous (assuming you can actually throw hatchets well). Her biggest weakness is that she is map dependent. On large maps or maps with boulder loops especially she is a downright awful killer. That being said, on smaller maps, she can wreck house if you can aim right.
Basically, she's RNGesus's mother. If you get a good map and survivors of your skill level, you're golden. Otherwise, things might be difficult.

I watch certain streamers regularly and they always stomp survivors. Sometimes they go on about 5-6 hours without allowing survivors to open exit gates. There is also a difference between youtube and twitch. Twitch is live so they can't pick good matches and exclude the bad matches.
I play killer too and yes I can't win every single match. The thing is... these people play the same game I play and if they face 'potatoes' all the time, I should be facing them as well.
It seems to me that their skill is just higher than mine and this is why potato survivors that they face seem like a death squad to me.
This is why I don't like it when people say things like 'well they are playing against bad survivors, if they played against good survivors I play against, they wouldn't do that much well'
Are we too unlucky to get the death squads or we are not as good as we think we are?

I don't think she's underrated nor overrated personally. Hitbox issues aside and some terrible maps that can neuter her Hatchets, I feel her design is in a good middle-high middle. I think the perspective people have is skewed because of YouTube/Twitch Highlights or cherry-picked matches may make her seem far better than shebis in practice. With Spirit and Legion being mostly talked about and Nurse & Billy for the highly picked/debated Killers, I feelnHuntress has stepped away from the spotlight a bit.0

Not only that, the 110% hurts for patrolling big maps aswell, especially if you verse "those" type of survivors who immediately run away if they hear/see you comingDoc_W__HOLLIDAY said:Very overrated.

Huntress is one of the best killers against good survivors. Spirit is around the same strength, but less dependant on creating opportunities and more based on her cooldowns. Could be better or worse. Against a good coordinated swf, Spirit may be too slow due to her cooldowns, while Huntress can snowball quickly with a few good shots. Against average survivors, Spirit could be more consistent overall, if you dont need Huntress potential. Imo Huntress is the most balanced killer and deserves her toptier spot.

I started about predictions and reading their dodge patterns, but then my mind drifted off

Pretty overrated. Not as overrated as the Doctor or the Spirit, but still overrated.1

She's not overrated. Some people just aren't as good with her as they would like to be.

So you basically think that huntress isn't depended on maps at all and a skilled huntress can destroy survivors on any map?xmenfanatic said:She's not overrated. Some people just aren't as good with her as they would like to be.

Depends on many factors.

Definitely not overrated, if you know how to play her correctly, she can absouletely destroy, so it makes sense that she was be used a lot.

The third guy who says she always can destroy if the skill is there.UwU said:Definitely not overrated, if you know how to play her correctly, she can absouletely destroy, so it makes sense that she was be used a lot.
Can at least you tell me how a huntress has even a chance on farm maps?1
