Is huntress a bad killer?

[PDiablo]

her hatchets are extremely easy to dodge, even against rank 1 huntresses I almost never get hit.

Pretty much, at high levels her hatchets are easy are dodge at close-mid range and her hatchets have no use at far range. This makes her pretty much useless since most mid-close range Killers have instadowns or easier ways of confirming a hit. Also, her slow movement speed, coupled with her extended terror radius, severely reduces her capability to play stealthily and use her hatchets for long range snipes. Also, she gets pallet looped HARD at high levels because of the reduced speed AND the speed reduction while charging the hatchet. Sue to the large hitbox on her hatchets, they typically hit large debris and corners which are common at looping zones. At higher levels (R5 and below), survivors are masters are pallet looping and know how to specifically loop the Huntress. She really only excels at picking off opponents, but if you have really solid fundamentals then survivors should rarely be in a situation where they are injured but severely increase the distance between you.

If the survivors can dodge her hatchets at close and medium range, the problem is the player, not the killer.

At higher ranks, survivors are capable of doing this shuffle running animation that makes it near impossible to predict where they will move. Also, dodging the hatchet at mid range is as simple as looking at the direction that she is facing, then going the opposite direction. If she winds it up for so long, then Congratulations, you have effectively increased the distance between you and the survivor. Even if you hit the survivor, the speed boost with further increase the distance meaning that you have to start from square one corning the survivor. IMO, this aspect is what makes her kit the most convoluted.

Again, just like Hag... if you think Huntress is weak the problem is you, not her.

The Hag is easy as ♥♥♥♥ to do well with. Her proximity camping is easy to establish, and she has the only defense against hatch standoffs.

I know. That's where I play, you can get around that gay shuffle with general last second twitch corrections, it can confuse someone with bad aim though. If these tricks worked, I'd say yes, she's an awful killer, except they don't work against a good Huntress. A full charge takes only a measly 3~ish seconds without add ons, add in Nurse's and Whispers and you'll find them again easily in no time flat after a ranged hit. Again, these tricks work vs baby Huntresses and not much else, she has a skill requirment for more than show.

All the animations are practically identical in length.

The huntress is one of the killers if you are "bad" then your life will be pointless. but if you are "good" then you are basicly a god .... Kinda like the nurse

As a huntress you should only ever use your hatchets when you need to i.e a survivor is pallet looping so they have to risk getting an axe or a hatchet to the back, or in areas where they can't dodge them i.e bottleneck areas that are more like hallways.

She's an incredibly strong killer if you don't suffer from potato aim. Very rewarding to play.

[I WANT GHOUL INSIDE ME]

what the ♥♥♥♥ drugs are half of you on Huntress is 3rd best in the game

[Orge Lambart]

a killer that can down someone from far away, has add on's for one shot downs ... how can that be bad.. she's top 3, although if the killer is too focused on trying to hit hacket shots, they become fairly easy.

i think its good. Its funny to be able to hit people on the roof on haddons. Also if you have high ground you can pull of some really fun throws. makes for some interesting situations and more varied gameplay. try hanging out in high places and beaning survivors from above that dont even know you are there. its a riot the way they freak out. whats all this clamouring over meta? the huntress is fun damnit.

[Lep]

She's very good. She can destroy teams if she plays well

[ch4ng3r]

Huntress is a good killer in my opinion you got long range if needed
