Yes because the best players don't go for the most op classes at all. They go for the hardest one to use so they can psych their opponents out and somehow gain an obscure advantage. And it's probably much easier to throw an arcing hammer than an instant hitscan weapon which can have generous amounts of aim assist added to it. It also doesn't have a windup time but lets face it that probably makes them a little too fast at killing thus making it harder for them to use the effects of combustion.
