Huntress Nerf conclusion
We are not many Huntress mains/one trick out there, we know how difficult is to master and control this killer. We know she is slow and loopeable. She has a 45 meter humming that makes her very easy to spot and counter, we also know the rewards of doing a good snipe or prefiring with succes at some gap of a loop/structure.
High ranks are filled of Nurses and billys, which are by difference the best killers on the game. With this patch you have nerfed Huntress, again. But this time, you have severely damaged her hitboxes without even trying it on the PTB. I have more than 1000 hours played only with huntress and i tell you, now is much worse. I even had hatchets that went through the survivor's body without hitting. Sniping now is, well, fishy, it's not viable...
I don't know who is in charge of the balance changes, I don't know if he only is able to run straight forward when being chased by a huntress, but really, there are plently of options to loop her, she is not hard to play against, even if the huntress is good.
Now she is, really, without doubt, considerably worse than before. I feel like quitting this game, i have put a lot of people on dbd, but never more. I Will not add more of my videos and my content. I'm not putting more effort on your game more. I'm not joining the nurse/Billy meta and i don't want to play something that used to be decent to become frustrated. You are just lowering a killer that was already pretty much counterable.
Im just amased of how low knowledge about the game have the department that works on the balance. Are they aware of the nurse-Billy meta? They know Huntress only have her hatchets since she is slow and have a 45 meter humming?
Adding this changes you are not improving the experience of the survivor friends playerbase, being that your biggest source of new players to the game. Now there are going to be more billys, and more nurses, worse experience for everyone. Unbelievable.

Well it's official now, Clown is a better Huntress confirmed
Dont worry, give them another 4 Months and freddy is above nurse/billy/clown xD
Reviving this dead thread to ask for help; excluding spirit who is now pretty much my main on the rare occasion i play killer, I hadn't played as killer for months. does anyone else still think huntress is suicide to play as? I've just ended up D/Cing from a game because her hatchets never hit, aiming is the most infuriating thing for me, shes slow as fck, i get looped like crazy, and to top it all off im getting bullied to ######### and im literally crying as a result like idek care to admit it at this point I. Am. In. Tears. And the funny thing about all this is that i have the fondest memories of her being the only killer i ever used and usually succeeding with her. Something feels so off and im reaaaaally hating haha. My main question here is, how the fck do i take back this killer, be good at her again. Cause im stumped and quite frankly i dont wanna be bullied again by the toxic survivors cause im really sensitive and it kinda hurts like being crushed by a tone of bricks :-(
Yeah, I'm with the consensus that huntress is pretty much ass. The only time she ever kills me is when my team sucks. Whenever I see her I breathe of a sigh of relief and think "Oh, it's just huntress." She sucked before the nerf, too.
Want survivors to take the huntress seriously? Restore her hit boxes and give her normal movement speed when she's winding up a hatchet. Now you've got a killer.
Huntress is my main and I'm still dropping 3k or 4k on almost all my games on PS4. Can't comment on PC which I know has some serious differences with the K+M controls but on console, she is still very viable. Assuming you can land hatchets with consistency.
Plus it's really fun to watch a survivor group freak out when they realize you have iridescent heads and an extended belt. Please, come over to unhook that survivor I'm sure you won't be slugging around after this long bomb sneaky hatchet mwhahahahahah
edit* spelling
Huntress is still an effective killer against "average pleb" survivors, The only problems occur when the survivors know how to loop a huntress because then you are really a 110% killer trying to run out the loops.
Sure it doesnt happen always, even at high ranks because rank system = lul, but that fact killed huntress pretty much for me in high ranks.
Now that I derank to stay away from the red ranks (red = warning, dont enter), I play her from time to time again
Crouching really is the huntresses biggest weakness lol. I would love a lob shot, the ability to toss a hatchet up and over the loop. It would take some coordination and skill but how fun to be running the loop, toss one into the air and then push the survivor into the drop zone?!
