Why does everyone hates hunters?

Ertial · 03-01-2008, 09:31 PM

In a lot of discussion about hunter I find people screaming that hunters are overpowered and should be nerved. I'm curious why so many people hate hunters so much? Is it because of what we're meant to do, sneaking from behind(the so called cheap tactics), or our extreme fire power(...)?
Although we certainly can be a strong class, we have to be played right and can be extremely vulnerable. We don't have much evasion more than warlocks and the evasion spells aren't limitless nor extremely great. Even with Acrobatic, Spell Elude and the evasion passive at level 2 I don't evade much more.
A lot of people demand nerves of the hunter, but we've never gotten anything back, except for the great new camouflage. Niclam promised us traps long about a year ago, but we still don't have them. I don't ask for making us overpowered, I just ask for some understanding about how hard it is to play a hunter good and get to know why we're so hated.
So please tell me, why are we overpowered? Why are we strong and can always get away(Who told you we've got infinitive mana?)?

I've never viewed hunters as overpowered.

I also hate polls.

I don't hate them at all.. my 10 year old plays one and has a lot of fun. I just hate the ones that pop out of nowhere and kill you while grinding with 10% xp, but that's the class they play. On my barb, it's pretty easy to kill them at my level 1 on 1, even with my skills set for grinding, so it is fair that they get to run away if need be. Props to the ones that stay and fight when they could get away if they needed to.

Yeah i hate them.

Because half of the threads of this forums are about them.

And they even do polls about it.

I hate hunters because they are so fucking hard to kill

They always get away someway.

Blood has a point. Hunters are hated because of two facts.
1. Even an unranked hunter can escape from a lvl 50 player (please read the following thing carefully: I don't say if this is good of bad)
2. They whine a lot.

I hate hunters cuz they always run when they are almost dead, run faster and when they have their huge camaflage time on, they just do 2 things: Run or if they have shot bows, 1000dmg spell.

This applies to all characters. If you have the choice of either a tactical retreat or dying. It's totally up to you what you decide to do. But I know i'm sure gonna try to make it out of there alive. I'm not talking about bailing on your teamates.
