If they made a spec that spammed 1 button for all its damage and it had to do a 360 spin-jump before casting it every time, that would be unique. It would also be awful.
Uniqueness is not automatically a good thing. They can make something uniquely bad. In Survival’s case, it’s unique in a way that makes most people categorically avoid it. That’s not a positive just because a handful of people now like it more. I’m sure some people would love that hypothetical spin-jump class. With a playerbase of hundreds of thousands of people you’ll find an audience for any out-of-left-field craziness. That doesn’t make it good.
Ranged SV evidently felt special to a lot of people because it was very widely played and enjoyed in its day, and 6 years after its removal people still talk about it.
Let’s not rewrite history. Legion SV was the worst-received iteration of melee Hunter, and that really is saying a lot. It got a lot of coverage and people tried to help it but it released in a deplorable state and didn’t improve much over the expansion. It was a total mess from them to design and tuning, and it remained the very least played spec for the entire expansion.
So you’re going to pretend the “whole Hunter community” supports melee SV, just like how you pretended you did good DPS on your SV Hunter because you didn’t know Warcraftlogs existd?
Melee SV is extremely unpopular while ranged SV was routinely very popular. These are provable facts. You can pretend those facts don’t matter; that’s a separate discussion and you’d be wrong there too, but at least don’t pretend that it wasn’t the case and rewrite history. WotLK classic is out right now and SV is a widely played spec. We’re far beyond the point of revisionism when it comes to this.
