I dont think throwing knives can ever be justified. I never threw them correctly and can still count on my hands the times Ive died from them until I watched truevanguard's vids and thats was the turning point on where i effectively landed them 95 percent of the time and what made me counter against the titans and warlocks who get in close and tell hunters to stop whining and adapt. I adapt and I get my defense nerfed when they could have adapted and took their own advice and stay away and idk, use their primaries? I agree with most of the nerfs seeing as it also proved that there was a dominant playstyle for each subclass that didnt give people much freedom to do things, but the throwing knives were outta nowhere.
