Pls revert all the mm hunter damage buffs this spec is toxic beyond belief. Any backpeddling muppet can play this spec and do 80k dps the entire game :joy:

I was just in a BG and the horde had about 7 hunters. Alliance had 10 players and horde had 15. We got smoked but I was enjoying 1v1n the huntards.

I had one initiate a fight 1v1 and then when he was getting smoked he ran to his teammates with his tail between his legs. The class is a bit of a joke and some of the people that play them are a bit of a joke atm. Ironically coming from a hunter. (I dont play this guy)

Hunter is clearly the problem here, not confirmation bias

Im just providing context to the BG I was in lol

And I gave you my perspective of the situation.

Then we agree that Hunters currently are a bit of an issue in BGs with the recent buffs
 so much so that they are often the most stacked class in a BG.

If that were the metric we used to measure success sure, but its not. There hasnt been an expansion in which hunters didnt dominate bgs.

Turns out, doing physical damage from range is extremely powerful, they have their weaknesses, and they’re exploited by many a class.

Class stacking also destroys randoms, be it 10 warriors or 10 hunters or 10 shaman, it hurts randoms.

If hunters were really so powerful in bgs they’d be 90% of rbgs, and not just professional base sitters

Since when is there a cap in tf2

I agree that class stacking of any class would be annoying and destroying of randoms. I’ve found that of any class stacking in BGs it is almost always Hunters

i can remember a time when it was only frost and fire mages, and when it was purely rogues. Hunters are no more of an issue now than they were 3 expacs ago

Id also like to point out that hunters are admittedly one of the least skill intensive classes in the game. that is going to attract more lower skill players, because they do better on the class. That would lead to naturally more hunter stacked bgs

The state of MM does also lead to some pretty funny situations where if their burst macro doesn’t kill you quick enough they seem to just have zero idea what to do and kind of run around flailing until they either scamper back to their friends or die.

That’s because 1 hunter is fine. What we are facing is packs of hunters in random BGs. Getting hit with 3 sniper shots with a rapid-fire coming right after is what sucks.

MM and Ret just need to get burried 6 feet under in nerfs.

Random Battlegrounds are not Rated Battlegrounds.

You can’t Explosive Trap people off rated EOTS.

RBGs have 3 dedicated healers and Hunters can’t stack Berserker/Consumables. Lonewolf MM also doesn’t have a mortal strike, dispel punishment, or team buffs.

Meanwhile, most random BGs won’t have 3 good healers. Maybe 3, but probably not all geared or coordinated. So MM gets to take advantage of its increased ranged, increased damage, and uncoordinated DPS running around without heals.

It’s not that MM are “noob” stompers. MM players are frequently very bad themselves and just get to abuse the mechanics of random BGs in a way other classes can’t.

I say this as a shameless one-shot loving Devoker.
