All over this forum you can find posts and even whole threads badmouthing the Hunter class and those who play it. That's no secret. But whose behind all that hatred?
I've figured it out....[b]it's the hipsters. [/b]
Stay with me here, think about it. Really.
In the promotions and advertising, the Hunter is often the center of the ad. Rarely do you see the Hunter not positioned in the center, if not even more toward the front than the others.
In the Mars commercial he uses his blink to surprise the colossus with his grenades and then dusts himself off and pops his hood much like you'd pop your collar, while not looking at the explosion, as Led Zeppelin plays in the background.
In the launch of Destiny, advertising influenced minds and many chose the Hunter, resulting in droves of them spilling into the tower, planets, and the crucible.
The Hunter is cool, collected, stylish, popular, and has good taste in music.
Everything a hipster lacks.
And you may be questioning why then, if it's just the hipsters who hate these hunters so, why there is such mass hatred against them on these forums?
Simple. Whose more tech savvy and technologically dependent than a hipster?
The Internet to a hipster is like blood to a vampire, what better place to strive and let out that fury than an online message board?
The Hunter became too mainstream. So cool that it can often be confused with being uncool. It became so mainstream that it became underground to an extent that even the hipsters haven't even heard of.
The hipsters can't stand it and they're lashing out, and they won't stop, they'll continue fighting this battle day after day, night after night, week after week.....or, you know....until the next Urban Outfitters sale.
Hipsters, I know you're out there, hell Id bet a pretty penny some of you will be reading this right now, but that's fine. You're too late, I've outed you to the community and no matter how many mustaches wrinkle or cardigans unbutton because of this post there's nothing you can do to change it.

I agree with this, when I started destiny, I chose a hunter, and mained it until I discovered the titan

1 AntwortenTo me, there's only one thing that's worse than liking something because everyone else likes it: Disliking something because everyone else likes it

Yup hipsters hate awesome cloaks lol.
-
I like my hunter.... Even more now cuz void bow is amazing.

I'm kinda hipster about it. I wanted to be a hunter just because of the cape then I saw every British YouTuber and there dog was doing the same so I wanted to add some diversity into my play. I also thought warlock was going to have more of a support role like the defender Titan and that I could be a unique and essential piece for raid teams because everyone else was planning on being a hunter
-
I picked hunters because I have this weird obsession with capes
-
12 AntwortenNaw I just realized everyone is a sheep
-
Makes sense actually
-
Maybe it's because Hunters are huge phaggot squeaker kids who vape, exploit glitches, and whine when other classes are cast into the spotlight. But your theory could be right too.

Ass the lesser seennof the two classes...titans are hipsters. Rarely seen in crucible pre ttk Sought after for PvE because supply was lacking. The titans are the smaller percent of user population, and are thus, hipster. Shoutout to the true hippy hipsters who throw up hip-hop disco bullet proof bubbles before dominating in PvP.

6 AntwortenHunters are the hipsters.

3 AntwortenHuh I dont think my hatred comes from Hipsters. Ill tell you why I dontlike Hunters more then the other 2. PVE 1. HM VoG and most likely all future HM raids, no ressing = utility self-cloaking to ress ultimately useless. Sure I like Golden Gun and I like how it spawns orbs, but thats only viable with highly active Super Teams. Survivability is knocked out, I dont mind 1-2, but anymore Hunters and I throw that out the window. Compared to Titans with a Absolute Shield for the team and Warlocks who get practically 2 chances to fight in case they die in some odd manner, I would much rather take a Pug Titan/Warlock over a hunter. PVP 1. Blade Dancers = pretty annoying but not unkillable 2. Golden Gun; as a Titan I find it ultimately BS that 2 Golden Gun hits can destroy a Ward of Dawn. On top of the fact that Hunters still get 2 more extra shots (at most). Its not like Golden Gun has a splash aoe anyway (Seeing as I saw 1 GG kill multiple people I assume it does). 3. Hunter/Warlock - Super Blink Shotgunning shenanigans. I just hate it and will teabag the souls out of whoever is using it. Voidwalkers only get 2 Blinks before they have to let it charge a bit, but not to sure how much the Hunters get as I seen one just constantly blinking around.
