What's the point in playing huntress anymore?

The plague does the exact same thing without any skill at a normal running speed without any downsides, 4men are so easy even without ruin lol

    Because huntress takes skill, which some people enjoy, and she is a fun character if you know how to play here, and her range trumps the range of the plague, and she is flawless as a killer in the right hands.

    As a matter of effectiveness, I don't think huntress is as good, she gets looped hard due to the slower speed and her map control is bad unless you hit a hatchet across the map

    You must be speaking for huntress without actually putting hours into her.

    Currently rank 6 as survivor, haven't lost a single game against Plague yet.

    Huntress though, a few deaths.

    Someone who knows huntress can definetly apply map pressure very easily, not even talking about add-ons for hatchet (exhaustion, insta down, etc.). Plague is not as hard to escape from, but then, it's a new released killer so people still need to put time in her. I rather go against Plague than huntress. Hit boxes also make more sense on Plague.

    The Plague is worse than the huntress Imo.

    Her green puke just makes her easier to down you with an LC but requires 2 puke hits, in Huntress terms that alone is a down.

    Sure as Plague you can be slightly less accurate but you have less overall range.

    In red puke she's the same as the Huntress not even counting 1 shot hatchets.

    If you can aim with Huntress well she's superior to The Plague.

    The Plague is 115 but she slows down when taking in vomit and when she's emptied she slows down again, so overall i think it will end up about the same.

    ....because Huntress is leagues above Plague.

    Huntress is THE most Balanced killer in the game. She's a "B" tier to me, less than Myers, but nonetheless, she's effective at what she does at least. If anything though, Plague over Huntress because.... Well, Huntress has a Non-modifiable "Humming Radius." While the Plague does not. Plague is stronger in my book.

    Plague can't snipe you across the map doe

    True, but doing it with Huntress is not a natural thing, by normal, non-bullsh#t gameplay, Plague trumps over Huntress.

    The thing about Huntress is that she can get downs faster than Plague.

    A good Huntress can use Whispers to find a survivor and down them with a Hatchet + Melee combo and activate BBQ and Chili within the first 60 seconds.

    She can also do this same feat with just perks and no-addons.
