A Plea to the Devs - Please reevaluate Huntress
We all know Huntress had some wonky hitboxes. 50% of the time the hit should have never landed, and 50% of the time the hit should have landed. In it's own weird way, this balanced out. Now, the hitboxes are much smaller, too small in fact. We are watching our hatches fly through survivor's shoulders two feet away and not land a hit. How can this be acceptable?
Here's the problem with "precision" on Huntress. The hitboxes are still messed up on objects. I watch my hatchets consistently plonk against air when I throw them over objects or in-between objects. So while survivors hitboxes are more precise, the polygon-like hitboxes of objects still remain. How is it acceptable to fix one hit box but not another? I mean no offense, but this is inconsistent and should of been more practically tested before implementing. Moving on with precision. We are expected to be more precise with our hits but mechanically are at a disadvantage here. Huntress is not compensated in any other way to adjust to these changes so it's a flat out nerf. It effectively takes more time to down someone but the rate at which the generators are completed remains the same.
Proposed list of ideas:
1.) Add an accurate crosshair.
2.) Add more hatchets by default so the inevitable misses aren't so devastating.
3.) Allow headshots - apply the dying state to a survivor when a fully charged hatchet hits the head.
4.) Fix the other hitboxes of inanimate objects so precision is possible.
5.) Revert hit box changes.
We haven't heard if this is a bug or intentional, so naturally the community assumes this is a "shadow nerf". Any input from the devs on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

I would even go further and readjust the addons + give her normal killer speed.
The headshot idea is a little bit too devastating and game turning in my opinion though.
They can't get it right.
Hitboxes are either the size of a car or they skin right by the ear of the ######### and doesn't manage to hit detect.
Very finicky. Needs more attention.
