The truth is bad players will say hunters are rubbish. If you actually know how to use one, you're fine. They are weak in pve, up to titans and warlocks. They are adaptive.
EDIT:LET ME MAKE IT CLEAR. IT'S PVE, NOT PVP.

Hunters are the worst in PvE while being completely faceroll in PvP. Seems like a fair trade off.
