So knives are terrible again.

Now they have literally next to no tracking whatsoever. Congrats you gave our knives back the last update and immediately took it away. I don't know why I expected literally anything else from you people. I mean, it wasn't even a problem in PvP. Literally no one was saying "oh these hunters are just spamming their knives everywhere." No. It was yet another uncalled for nerf in a 5+ year string of bad decisions. You literally shouldn't have even buffed them in the first place if you were going to make them this useless. The ONLY place this should have taken effect is in PvE because the vex's crit point is too hard to hit with a throwing knife. That's it. But you people seem to have never figured out how to actually balance your game's PvE and PvP separately like every single competent dev team would if they wanted to make a game that had both a ton of PvE and PvP content. And before anyone says I don't aim here's me aiming good enough to counter snipers. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/544516062?t=0h53m58s And here's after the match https://www.twitch.tv/videos/544516062?t=1h6m53s

  • It wasn’t really nerfed, just they realized the tracking was bugged so they fixed that.

  • As a hunter main, this change is fine. Actually aim like I do and it's like it didn't even get nerfed...

    • High skill, high reward. As a hunter, I’m so happy knives aren’t easy to use as well as all the other classes one shot abilities hitting a nerf.

      • Weighted knife Goldie main here. They needed a PvP nerf, I think it was a LITTLE overdone, But a nerf was needed. They were gnarly AF

      • It's fair to be honest, they deleted the one-shot abilities. I'm not seeing any Handhelds, knives or shoulder charges as i used to. No fusions outside Jotunn as well. If they would do something with shotgun apes it would be healthier for the game. Buff primaries, leave snipers and nerf all other specials aka shotguns since those are the only ones left.

            • Finally they nerfed a strong Hunter ability very quickly. Usually Hunters and Titans would get to keep them for quite a while before they got nerfed.

                • I dunno, when playing with my friend (who pretty much only plays hunter) he was still getting some really nice kills with it. I doubt he even noticed the nerf given that he never reads the patch notes and how good he was doing. Maybe it’s because he’s a better player, but who knows. I think it’s the best OHK ability to be honest, maybe not because of how good it is but how good it feels to use and how you can get those “Oh shit!” moments that you’d never really get with supernova or shoulder charge.

                  • Shoulder charge: *munching on a head of lettuce like a cow* Want some? Throwing knife: yes please. Hhsn: do you have another? Shoulder charge: *stops mid chomp with lips puffed out like a horse* Do you have contraverse hold in the garbage? Hhsn: uh...yeah I do. *sweating bullets* Shoulder charge: *turns head a full 360 degrees* You better have...

                    • It’s more a problem for me in pve. Like the enemies aren’t steady like guardian opponents and all the time my knife just flys right past their head because they ducked a quarter inch and that’s completely out of range now.

                    • https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/255333161/0/0 Anyone who says they needed nerfing is mad cuz they got countered. Snipers have more magnetism. Anyone that says they’re fine is just lying.

                      • I like how Hunters have to aim now, but Titans just have to aim in your general direction with a Suppression grenade still. Truly, Titans have it so easy.

While I am a card carrying hunter, I don’t have an issue with the adjustment as 1HK abilities should be earned; not just happenstance because you pointed in the general direction.

                          • They were too easy. I once went up against a team that only used them and it was super annoying. It was too forgiving. Now you actually have to aim. Considering you can still kill someone from a bounce and across the map it is fine.

                          • Atleast your OHK ability didn't get nerfed into the ground. Deal with it.
