Unpopular opinion: Huntress sucks

[Kris]

Seeing how she can't do ♥♥♥♥ on loops with walls and long loops are like infinites for her, I dont see why people call her the 3rd best killer in the game

It's their fault if they've put themselves in a position which allows the huntress to do that... It's like the pallet thing. Vault before she has the chance to wind up.

I actually don't think that's an unpopular opinion on here, but not in the wider DbD community. Here there are a few people that are adamant that she's such a bad killer, but she's not. You can't simply be okay as the Huntress. You have to be good.

She takes so much time to learn and perform adequately as. The people that aren't into doing that are going to play Hillbilly, if they're going to take the time to learn a new kit that can counter looping, then it's going to be Nurse because she completely counters chases. She isn't like the Hag either where you never see her.

Really the only map where it's a chore to play the Huntress is only Lery's or the bottom floor of The Game.

Even if some people around here don't think she's trash, they'll insist she's only good with the machine gun build, but that's not the case either. There's a lot of content out there where pople quickly make it to rank 1 using unconventional builds. I think someone even made a video here where they made it to rank 1 using no perks and add-ons.

You could argue that her learning curve is too steep and unforigving, but saying she sucks is really not true at all. After her hitboxes were adjusted that's even less true.

Why would they vault if they can loop the pallet? Bait the hatchets?

I must be missing the meaning again, but jungle gyms are the double windows, right?

And most people don't bother with baiting hatchets anyway, I mean, why when you can just get hit and cry till they get nerfed?

She’s pretty good if you master her. If you suck or are average, she’s actually a bad killer compared to others.

What do you master? Throwing trough walls?

When to throw the hatchet and how, mindgame them into thinking you’re throwing at some moment but holding it to the next, predict which way they’re going a how they’re going to dodge, etc.

lol get gud you have no experience playing huntress

[stench of daddy's axe body spray]

Huntress is top tier because of her hatchets alone and the versatility they provide. Like Baby Ghoul said, she has a steep learning curve and if you don't learn how and when to use her hatchets then you're going to feel like she's the weakest link. Of course, every killer succeeds where another fails, and getting looped in certain spots is her weakness because of the debris and whatnot, but you can't simply say she sucks because of infinites or line of sight. A good killer will always make up for the weaknesses and work around them instead of just dropping the character the moment they hit some sort of impediment.

Double windows are called "L T walls" and are part of the jungle gyms. But every "wall" structure in the game is a jungle gym.

I didn't farm for the "skilled huntress" achievement and id say she gets hard countered by most loops

Infinites are the reason why half the killers in this game suck, though. Same as looping. If survivors are nice (try to mindgame, don't pallet loop to oblivion, don't abuse infinites), even Wraith can be viable. But you can't rely on survivors being nice to rate a killer.

You're basing this opinion off of your achievement hunting?

Infinites are long gone. You can’t even vault more than three times through windows now, and the vaulting speed of killers (add to that bamboozle) is decent. Let’s stop it with things that were true a year ago, but not anymore lol

No, I'm stating that I DO have experience with huntress. I used to main her, and I still think she is not worthy of being top tier

For huntress, cow tree window can be skipped twice, vaulted three times and you are STILL safe with dropping the pallet.
