7 hatchet Huntress.........

[AngeryBlueBerry]

What are your thoughts on 7 hatchets for her now, or even 10?

just means you need to be alert when being chased is all

They also upped Clown to 6 bottles instead of 4.

Basically there's been a lot of power creep with the last few killers released, and with The Unknown being a superior ranged killer in pretty much every way they had to do something to make up for it.

Feels bad dodging hatchet after hatchet but getting downed on the bonus ones she has now, though.

clown is much more annoying

Her kill rate was low, especially considering how old and popular she is.
What they did is actually a pretty conservative step toward increasing her kill-rate, and doesn't seem to have made any massive changes in outcomes, so far. I think she'll get bumped by 2-3% and that'll be it.

For real, he became even more terribly annoying, devs coul've just rework his power to be less annoying

Nobody complained that she was weak, but she was buffed anyway, now I play against her even more and it’s already annoying

Seems more like a QoL thing. It's not too big of a buff and i don't think Huntress needs any.
I assume her kill-rate is low because she is the type of killer some people play to have fun and just throw some hatchets around, maybe not worry so much about kills.
Just hitting some difficult shots is enough of a win.

Not to mention she takes skill to actually aim, and is a free killer for beginners to just pick up and whatnot.

She's not even weak, she's just free and takes mechanical skill to use.

being a Huntress main, the buffs were not needed whatsoever. the only reasonable one was the pull-up speed imo, and even then with her other 2 pull-up speed addons now, she is insanely fast at throwing hatchets.
what surprises me is how they didn't decide to nerf her other add-ons (in particular the hatchet amount addons) giving her way too much room for mistakes now, idk who they changed these nerfs for in terms of Huntress players but it just makes dodging her hatchets a lot less rewarding.

personally, I was hoping they'd have done something about how viable she is with basement camping or even proxy camping hooks, it's incredibly easy to insta-down the unhooked survivor.

If you don't know how to beat him, sure.

They balance around extremely low skill killer. A really good Huntress could down two survivors with only 5 hatchets.
