Hunters' super isn't overpowered. Here's why.
As per usual, we're all seeing a lot of ranting and complaining about the Hunter and the super ability either with the Gunslinger or Bladedancer subclasses. Too many feel it is overpowered and unfair. Here is my take on why it is not.
When a Hunter does a super, he/she has to do the following:
- Enable it within the right timing to engage others. Too soon, and it wears off before you get a shot off or a melee attack in.
- Have good aim to not waste a shot if using the Gunslinger subclass.
- Survive attack shots and melee hits while doing the above.
- If killed while super is enabled, it is gone on re-spawn.
When a Titan or Warlock does a super, he/she does the following:
- Press two buttons when close to one or more enemies
- If hit successful, walk/run away and continue on. If missed, fight or die.
- If killed while the Titan or Warlock is about to land a super, the super is considered inactive, and is there on re-spawn.
Another way to look at the situation: When a Titan/Warlock does a super, you're probably dead. If a Hunter enables the super, you at least have a change of fight or flight.
Now please, discontinue the posts about Hunters being overpowered. Just learn how to handle the situation, or, let it happen and continue on.
Cheers.

I've hit Bladedancer with multiple shotgun rounds, nothing, rockets, nothing, even Fists of Havoc, nothing. The only way to take one down is if you have multiple people shooting at him, but once you have that situation, the Bladedancer just zips around stabbing everyone regaining full health every time. It's so easy to die while doing the Titan and Warlock supers and on top of that you have to, y'know, POSITION YOURSELF AND FIND THE PERFECT TIME. If you don't hold on to your super as a Titan or Warlock for that one perfect moment then you're getting no more than 1 kill. On top of that, it's so easy to whiff and miss with the TItan and Warlock supers, so unless the other team is horrifically stupid and just huddle against each other the whole match, you are not going to get more than 3-4 super kills a match. Also, I have never seen a Bladedancer pop his super and not get 1 kill. I have never seen that. Never. They always get kills, minimum of 3. 3 every pop. Every super. Every match. I literally have no respect for Hunter players and I definitely have no respect for people who defend them.
