Wait, why is huntress getting nerfed???

Huntress is fine and...huh?

You would need ti use both manna grass and flower babushka after patch to get just the effect of flower babushka pre patch, which reduced wind up by 20% for flower and 12% for manna grass,

Now  after patch its 8% for manna grass and 12% for flower babushka???

I am c o n f u s i o n

    It was a broken add on combo and took all the skill out of the character.

    They need to nerf op addons then look at adjusting the base kit if needed.

    I feel for Huntress’s that used it, but personally I tried it myself and it made things worse for me. I need a second to aim, just winging it made things worse for me.

    Seems like this is the direction we are taking..... I dont like it at all.
    The game has more killers than ever, still there is less variety than ever......

    This does need a bit of a nerf but they went a bit far. Doesn't need this much of a nerf.. However remember survivors will cry about everything untill all they need do is start the match with the exit gates already open. Suvivor mains do not want a balanced and fair game.

    Nope machine gun build huntress was very powerful and she deserved a nerf for that build. I hope they do the same thing to the nurse and then buff other killers.

    Without Tinkerer insta hatchets are no longer a thing. Using Babushka and Braid together is fine. Huntress didn't need a nerf.

    Yeah I thought about that too but when I used both of them without tinkerer, they were still powerful. I think her base power can be buffed but I am glad that those addons get nerfed a little bit.

    I understand the nerf, but I think she needs a base buff to her hatchets because Huntress has a LOT of downsides to her upsides.

    Pros

    Ranged attack that can damage survivors
    Infinite supply of said attack

    Cons

    Slower movement speed than most killers, consequentially making her lunge attack range shorter
    Effectively biggest terror radius in game ( aside from doctor in treatment mode )
    Bad around loops because of her movement speed
    Almost no map pressure
    Strange hitboxes on hatchets
    If you run out of hatchets during a chase, you pretty much have to break away from the chase to refill

    I feel she needs something to make her better at base level, though I admit I don't know what that might be

    It being too strong is one of the few things most top end survivor and killer mains agree on.

    Meh, her frame drops on ps4 already made her unattractive on console. I think she's vastly overrated anyway

    The thing is only tinkerer is what made these add-ons so powerful, not the actual add-ons! Even with instant hatchets she still has to aim to hit a survivor, so I don't see why it takes less skill when you still have to aim. I'm speaking for every Huntress main out there and If you wanna talk about something very powerful, please leave that to the nurse. No other killer can end chases faster than her yet she doesn't get a nerf but Huntress does AND the Huntress is weaker than the nurse. Nurse just got a little more viable since Huntress won't be as viable to pick with these add-ons.

    12% slower windup with both addons in total post nerf.

    Machine Gun Huntress was bullshit anyway. Maybe now this combo will be objectively worse than her oneshot combo.

    Insta healing a downed survivor was bullshit. But this? Naaahh

    Of course. Because if everyone plays nurse, it´s because she is OP. It´s totally not, because every other killer just sucks.

    And you won't tell them otherwise, because they will call you a "biased killer that wants 4k everytime".

    Last season i challenged myself to reach rank 1 using Freddy only. There was only 1 survivor who appreciated playing against something else than a Nurse. I also had someone who thought Freddy was P2W.
    Had someone dc to avoid giving me a 4k. So his friend could get the hatch and then yell "get rekt!!!!"

    There is really no way in pleasing survivors. No nerf will be enough. Even if all 4 escape after using 4 BNPs they still think that the game is killer sided and that they only escaped with their 9-11k BPs because they are so great players.

    You hope they will nerf her add-ons, or nerf her as a whole?

    I recommend using up all your babuskas with tinkerer if you have them.

    That's why I laugh at people who says "b-b-but killers are equally toxic as survivors" - no, they are not. Survivors side are bunch of toxic, little brats, while killers are mostly adult players. The difference between them is mostly mentality, adulthood and sometimes age. The 5% of so called "toxic killers" are in fact survivors playing killers for dailies. Really, everytime when I check a profile of a killer who is insulting survivors, I see almost only survivor achievements, and "+rep, good survivor" comments. We all know what "good survivor" is in their eyes...

    Killers are the harder side, so it attracts people who just likes playing killer, likes challange and does not bother playing versus harder enemy, while survivors are the side that is an easy mode in this game, and easy modes attracts children with low egos.

    By the way, just look at the streamers. Survivor streamers are like ochifag - toxic human trash (by the way, he is a paedophile, there are underage girls from whom he tried to get naked photos on his Discord) obsessed with his "superiority", a manchild. Then look at killer or 50/50 streamers like Panda, or True - Panda is always positive, even when survivors are tryharding to snipe him and bully, True sometimes complains about imbalance, but he is right about it. And what is most important THEY NEVER INSULT OTHER PLAYERS, they are FAIR and KIND, even they they tbagged them to hell. It is just a case of mentality, and adulthood as I said.

    Nope. Killers just don’t have as much ways to show their toxicity. With PS4 having killers get the ability to willingly wipe the survivors data for a match, with a chance to completely erase ALL FILE PROGRESS, simply by closing application mid match; you wouldn’t believe how often killers do it. Usually saying they should be able to punish you for not doing why you want. that whoever pissed then off totally warranted the possibly complete loss of data for the 3 others. And other crazy crap. No, it’s just because killers don’t have a t-bag or “toxic” option that is quick and doesn’t waste too much time. Killers are definitely toxic too.
