My answer during Legion up to now is the same.
This is what I said during Legion.
Who’s the stupid to tell Blizz that Hunters wanted to be a Melee? Melee Hunter is the biggest mistake they made in WoW. Why would I play a Melee Hunter when Warrior, DK, Paly is 1000x better and they can all Tank? It has been years that you were trained to fight against melee as Range Hunter and suddenly Blizz wanted you to go toe-to-toe against melees in melee? The gameplay of Survival is not that amazing when compared to other melees.
I play other Classes in the game. But when I want to be Range, I want to be a Hunter… but not a Survival Hunter.
