Tbh I’m heckin excited for Hunter. Holding out hope beyond hope that he’s a recon with something like poisoning arrows or marking arrows, something different. Guardian was a real miss for me, unfun to play and not effective enough to warrant being picked over another medic or even Turtle. Im praying that he’s more like an actual Hunter/assassin, meant to shoot and move quickly, constantly shifting position to keep the enemy off guard.
Honestly anything as long as his abilities aren’t straight up assault.
We have so many assault mercs now. Not just under the assault class, but mercs like Javelin, Guardian, and hell, even all of the fire support mercs are basically assault already. But for an objective and teamwork based game, it just seems weird that there are so many mercs that don’t encourage a real team based approach at all.
Like, a passive ammo ability or a passive spotting ability. Sure, they help our team, but they don’t actively encourage you do do so. You can still do fine playing Skyhammer as only an assault merc, but with mercs like sparks, you’re not going to do well at all if you don’t help your team. I’d much rather more sparks-type mercs than skyhammer type mercs if you know what I mean.
