If you haven’t by now, you probably never will.
But either way, it’s not just about making it ranged again. I personally have no interest in replacing current SV at all, I just want RSV back. It’s about getting back the playstyle that was RSV prior to Legion. A playstyle that cannot be found anywhere else, not even in “the other two options”.
So no, there’s no alternative, there’s no other class that could provide what old RSV was all about.
The ranged vs. melee-argument that people are having time and time again stems from the above, but has more to do with the class as a whole, and what the majority of it’s players want when playing as hunters.
