Can someone explain how Shadowshot is balanced for PVP?

I'm still kind of new at this game and I'm still trying to wrap my head around this super. Before I go on, yes I know I have barely upgraded my Hunter so I don't have hands-on experience. In my opinion the class was made for competitive play. From what I hear the supers are virtually useless in PVE, except for shadowshot. Hunters have 3 offensive supers while the other two classes have one defensive super each. And I will try to do this without sounding like a whiney little bitch, but if I do, sorry. So this super "Shadowshot", to me has a good amount of offensive benefits. -It's a one-shot kill -It can be fired more than once -Even if you miss there's a tether -The tether makes players aim at the ground upon contact -While the opponent is held by the tether, all shots get precision damage. -The tether sticks around even after you have killed the one who shot it. -The tether is a bullet ho -The super also acts as a suppressor. Now to be fair I will point out weaknesses that I've personally seen in PVP -The jump and shoot animation takes a long enough time to be shot a good bit. (This can be correlated with why the tether is still around after death) - The hang time from the jump leaves you very open -And that's about all I can think of, only because I have not played as a Hunter enough. Again I'm not trying to whine due to being "rekt". This isn't b8. Please explain (preferably with class but with the Internet you never know). If you're going to say something like "You can't be serious" then explain why I can't be serious. TL;DR: Please explain why the Shadowshot it balanced? [i]Edit[/i] Ok, after reading these responses I think I'm convinced. The Shadowshot certainly has its negatives. Again, thanks to those who answered with class and without attempts to insult the OP. Some of you need to take a chill pill. It's like a good percentage of this community Hulks out on anyone with an unfavorable opinion or a simple question. I literally asked a question after delivering what I gathered on the topic. I don't think my post warranted some of these responses. But then again this is the internet and for some reason people like to take their frustrations out on forums, social media, etc. I'll just take it with a grain of salt (cause God knows there is plenty of that in here) and be on my way. Well I'm done posting in here. If anyone wants to continue to deb8, h8, or elabor8 go ahead.

  • I use the single shot tether that lasts longer for crowd control. no point in using it for a direct hit offensive in PVE. it is a support/defensive super.
