Hunters aren't OP

I play as a warlock and I thought Gunslinger and Blade dancer were op, now that I'm levelling a hunter in the crucible I'll tell you, they aren't. You can't just kill an entire team in one go, if you're alone you might get one golden gun kill but you will be downed fast. Bladedancers are easy to kill too, you just shoot them as soon as you see them, don't stop. If they zig zag, they are using a piece of their super bar every swipe which means if they zig zag kill you, they only get the one kill. So stop whining about classes being strong.

    >Hunters aren't OP Now this, this right here, this is some grade-A bullcrap. Looking over your Hunter, it's only leveled to 14; meaning that it doesn't have all the perks on either Gunslinger, or Bladedancer. On the other hand, neither does MY Hunter that's shown in the picture. I'm using low level equipment, not fully leveled, and I'm using the harder of the two subclasses, the Gunslinger. Yet there I am, with a 2.40 K/D ratio, and a combat rating of 174. That means that my Hunter is in the top 1% of the Destiny PvP community regarding those stats. Now, think about it again. Low-tier equipment, not leveled fully. And this class, a low level Hunter, is outdoing every other class in the game, when they are fully leveled, AND using exotic weapons. I can say, as someone who has played Warlock, Titan, and Hunter, that the most OP class, and by far the easiest, is in fact the Hunter. Didn't knock it till I tried it, and even after I tried it, I knocked it. Hunter OP, always has been, always will be.

      LOL [u][b]A list of things that definitely AREN'T OP:[/b][/u] [b]Suros.[/b] Everyone just uses it constantly 'cos the white matches their shader. They're putting themselves at a disadvantage using such a weak exotic. These are the guys who put personal preference before using broken guns, and let's be honest. They make Destiny PvP even more enjoyable for doing so. [b]Pocket WINfinity[/b]. It's a complete skill weapon. Holding the trigger AND moving the thumbstick [b]AT THE SAME TIME[/b] makes it balanced, and knowing you've only got a 99% chance of winning every close range gun fight just drives people away. The guys with Pocket Infinity are always bottom of the leaderboard [b]Hunter class[/b]: Those 5-6 man kill feeds you see the Hunters getting every game are just all about skill. Running around OHKilling people is extremely difficul (especially with the 4 foot raidus hitboxes), and 4 guaranteed kills just isn't enough when you only get it 3 times per game. [b]Corrective Measure[/b]: I mean, come on. You only get 150 bullets! at 4-5 bullets per kill you instantly run out. That's why nobody uses it. [b]Shotguns[/b]: With the maps all being giant these just aren't a viable option. I think shotguns need a range buff, 'cos if you can't OHK from at least 10-15 feet, what's the point? [b]Special Ammo:[/b] Ammo is the ultimate test of skill. Nobody ever has any, so people just use their primary weapons all the time. I can't remember the last game I saw where 50% of players used Fusion Rifles, and the other 50% used shotguns. Please buff ammo Bungie. It's hard to conserve the stuff when I only have 40+ reserve rounds for Pocket WINfinity [b]Arc Blade:[/b] Probably the worst super out there.... I feel bad for these guys. You know the minute you see Arc Blade x4 on the kill feed that it was tactical gameplay by a skilled individual.. I mean, come on Bungie, what were you thinking?! The Titan super gets to panic-kill one guy! And all Arc Blade gets is a shield buff, invisibility, health regen, one hit kills, 6 foot lunges, teleport jump..... I agree with the OP. Bladedancers are REALLY easy to kill. All it takes is a full team with Rocket Launchers/LMGs or a super THIS DESPERATELY NEEDS A BUFF BUNGIE [b]Capping C on almost every control map[/b]: I don't know why people even bother. On a map like Shores Of Times, C is impossible to hold. I mean, standing on that platform with a sniper rifle in no way closes down half the map to the enemy team, and sniping into B takes some serious skills.

      • Hunters are very easy to take down the crucible. I do it all the time as a Sun singer warlock. But the thing is you have to look at it this way, hunters lack in things like the raids. So if they have a little bit of extra perk in the crucible I think that's fair.

      • I agree, I used to play as Titan and hated hunters but now that I play one I realize how they actually can't just automatically get kills.

      • I agree the hunters are at the biggest disadvantage in pvp. Period. They may be able to move but that does you no good when you are in your super and a titan uses his fist of panic or warlock uses their ova powered bomb. You as a hunter will lose those matches every time because even though as a hunter you may hit them it will not kill them while in their animation. And their supers are used immediately where the hunters takes almost 2 seconds before you can do anything. I have all three classes and the hunter definitely has biggest disadvantage in crucible

      • Sunsingers with Radiant Skin can actually beat Arc Bladers. Radiant Skin allows you to survive two Arc Blade attacks, and the Flame Shield can allow you to survive three or even four depending on your health at the time of getting hit or your Armor on the Class. Just shotgun melee the Arc Blader then proceed to teabag their "high-skill" super while throwing a Fusion Grenade at some guy who tries to kill you right after.

      • U guys are all wrong , all classes and characters is based on a checks and balances system . Kind of like rock ,paper , scissors. U need to know the strengths and weaknesses of each character and class. Capatalize on your strengths and guard your weaknesses. I normally play with warlock and I think hunters are easy to kill I struggle with titans more than I do hunters . I actually feel over power compared to hunters

          • You can't make a claim with your argument. You have to get all the perks for both classes and then test it out. You are only lvl 14 with the hunter. You have not unlocked all the perks that work together to make the class good. So your point is moot.

          • I dont get it either. This so called damage resistance is negligible really. I took out a bladedancer at full health minus the shield with my throwing knife. It shouldn't have done that because it can't even one shot people at full shield and health. I've also beat a bladedancer at their own game by punching them in the face. Granted they were low on health but I still won.

            • Yeah, I used bladedancer too. I felt like a god every time I activated it. No strategy whatsoever. Mindlessly smash RB and get three to four every time.

              • It can be done. It has been seen. I´ve seen teammates and enemies do it. Also, when Arcblading gives you a free 50% damage resistance just because, and you can take a fusion shot to the face, you aren´t easy to kill. But you conveniently didn´t mention the short-distance teleportation that Arc Blade gives you, which combined with Blink gives you a guy that can be all over the place and extremely easy to target. Pro-tip: if you want to discredit an opinion give some facts, not more opinions. Because if you do the second, you fail.

                  • This is true. Hunters aren't as good as everyone makes them out to be. Their super kills just as many enemies as a Titan or Warlock. Each swipe uses the super bar and when you aren't lunging it's still going down like Radiance. It has an animation for when you use it and most of the time it runs out before you can find anyone.

                  • Thank you for your comment, Hunters in the crucible appreciate it. Let this be a lesson to the rest of you, try something before crying for a nerf!

                    • Well maybe not anymore now that everyone knows how stop them, BUT their play style is NOOBISH. Meelee spam for kills? (bladedancer). 3 one hit kill shots with increased target assist? If you can't stop a titan coming at you then you suck. The radar tells you when someone is near. Also, if he kills you around the corner, truth it, you still would of died if it was someone with a shotgun.

                        • I think the game is pretty well balanced overall. Some things may need a tweak or two but the classes are very paper,scissors,rock.
