Hunters are easily the most high risk high reward infected. And i am saying high risk for two reasons, people looking to shoot you down and ability to actually hit the pounces. If i am ever playing against a player with a good shot (notably nerdy [chimichanga i guess] and general frustrate me the most) I get heated fast because I can never even get out of the skies. Also these same people get the most points on survivor every single time because they take advantage of the easy to kill hunters and boomers.
Now I haven't played in a while and i'm sure not many of you know my face but i have played hunter for a very long time on GC so I can hit a few pounces. But still i only hit about 1 in every 2 pounces on a good day.
ALSO you can punch the hunters before they hit you, which is the most saddening thing in the world. And do not say it is too hard to consistently do because a few members have, angeringly, gotten really good at it.
Yet i do agree that the pounces on incapped targets should be nerfed, it takes zero skill and is just boring. I try not to ever pounce downed survivors because it takes no skill, it doesn't make me feel good about the pounce like a clean 25 would on one of those bastards that are always watching the skies *cough* chimichanga *cough*. All in all i play hunter because of the amount of fun it is, i am even trying to learn the Clony style pounces because getting up so high is just so damn fun but absolutely not as efficient.
