Hunter: The unavoidable death

Post by Hydrolyse » 14 May 2017, 14:37

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Hunter pounce stuns the target for a long duration, making it impossible to escape or fight back when you are alone, the hunter stuns you for roughly 5 seconds or so, and over all the incredible damage the hunter can deal, makes an unfair combo. So maybe if you lower the stun duration of the pounce things would get better.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): It will balance the game.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): The hunter clearly needs a nerf, it has no counter, except getting it surrounded with 5 or more marines. Nerfing the hunter will reduce salt production.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):

-1 Hunter is fine as it is. it doesnt take 5 marines to kill a hunter unless the hunter is very good or is ancient

The Hunter is a powerfully built Front-Line Soldier, it's literal job is to disable and kill. If you get smashed from the side with a whatever pound lizard monster you're going to be on the ground for awhile.

Piss off wanker. Us Xenos don't need ya getting easy solo kills. Now scram!
You will never be as bad as the baldie who picked up a tactical shotgun while a hunter was pouncing on top of a CMO for 4 seconds, with his only response being to pace around before being decap'd by said hunter. You are not Brett Kimple, and you never will be. You are not the reason why I regular MP.

Wait wait wait
You are complaining...that a Tier 2 xeno designed to kill or incapacitate marines, is too Overpowered in a 1v1?
So what you are saying is that marines should win in a 1v1 against parasitic killing machines, with a caste specifically made to hunt and kill?

What...

-1, Hunters are designed to kill/incapacitate the marines, also you don't need 5 'rines blasting a hunter. Two is often emough to get it to fuck right off before doing much damage.

You're not supposed to be able to fight back when you're alone. Xenos are individually more powerful than the Marines.

Your alone, your gonna die, that is literally the hunters purpose is to hunt game that is alone or in small numbers, the hunters stun may stun you for some time, but the hunter themselves are stunned for about the same amount of time, thus removing much openness if a hunter pounces into a group. Lesson: Dont be alone as a marine, your gonna die.

There's a reason why there is 100 marines and like twenty xenos. Go with a group, man.

I actually think the stun time should be increased in favor of cooldown for the stun. Because the way I see it, it hops on one marine slashes them for a few seconds then hops on the other one and slashes them, this makes them stronger in 1v1 scenarios, but atm if a hunter hops into a group of 2 marines and a medic, all it has to do is disable the strongest, slashem a few times, then hop on the next one while guy #1 is still stunned, slashem, break bones or whatever rnjesus gives them, and run off.
Look, I've heard your cries, and your calls.
I know you're mad at Command. I know you're angry. I know you're angry that those dinosaurs killed your fellow men.
You told me this, and I heard you.
But you shouldn't be angry at your command. If you're angry at command, you're saying that command sent those men to die. But command didn't kill those men. The enemy killed those men. They took your comrades from you. That's the important thing to remember, it was the enemy who took your friends, and you should be really REALLY mad at them.
Before you go back down there, I'm reminding you who your enemy is. The enemy.
