How do we feel about Huntress?

It's been a little while since she's gotten her out of left field buffs and I don't see her talked about much or even see her anywhere near as much as I used to. If anything I've seen her drop in tier lists with all the strong killers we've gotten recently (Ghoul, Dracula, Recently buffed Lich).

So what do we think about Huntress and her last set of buffs? It's weird because I still think the buffs were a bit excessive but it's hard to argue that with how powercreeped she is now. I think she's a bit slept on though in tier lists and arguably the best ranged killer not named Plague. Certainly hasn't been overshadowed by Unknown like I thought she might have been and it's questionable if even Artist is better. Her ability to guard hooks and gens simultaneously is almost 2nd to none and she feels like she never runs out of hatchets in chase now if you are conscious about your ammo count.

    • You can have all your opinions about Huntress, but she's certainly not a weak killer. She's great as a killer, I think she's fun to play and have fun against, but when I play Survivor, I feel like her axes never run out. No matter how many times she misses, she'll always have 2-3 axes in her pocket. 🤣

    Personally, I don't like the current Huntress. Instead of adding more lockers into the maps which would help her out and a lot of other killers and locker related perks, they just slapped 2 extra hatchets on to her base-kit which just dulls down the killer for me. You can use hatchets fairly carelessly and good luck dodging 7 hatchets against a good huntress as a survivor.

    With the old huntress at least you knew she sacrificed an add-on slot for it but now. Eh. Her add-on selection is worse and most players nowadays just run best cooldown and wind-up add-ons.

    Despite me not liking her, I wouldn't call for her to get nerfed. Until Behaviour actually will take into an account locker placements when designing maps, she kinda has to stay how she is right now.

    She is somewhat fine in terms of balance, but boring to play againts for me. Still hate that stupid insta downing add-on.

    You mean there hasn't been a big push to nerf her lately? Other killers have dominated that space lately. You can only be outrage for so many things.

    I think she should've got shiny pin basekit instead of the extra hatchets.

    I think that she needs to stop throwing logs already. If Blizzard could fix Hanzo's arrows, so could BHVR.

    I think Huntress was fine before her last set of changes, but overall I don't think she is in a bad state right now.

    7 hatchets basekit just feels like way too much, dodging 4 hatchets in a row used to be really thrilling, now it doesn't help you out nearly as much as you think it would. I think that change should be reverted, other than that she's mostly fine.
