(Quality of Life)
I think that the Hunter Dodge would be more effective if it was on a Press and Hold command like the other class abilities. Not that it sounds like a big deal but double tapping B is actually a bit slow. This is a problem in particular since the Dodge is supposed to be reactionary. The number of times I have seen Hunters (Including myself) die while attempting to dodge is a fair indicator of this issue. I constantly see Hunters die after a singe awkward crouch due to the Double Tap.
Simply put the Double Tap is a bit awkward while a Press and Hold would alleviate the deaths due to the increased chances of button mis-registration and player based latency caused by the need to release and re-press the button.
Again it may not seem like a big deal but I feel that the Double Tap causes issues that the other classes need not worry about with their Press and Hold mechanics.
(Hunter dodge problems)
As an extra note on the dodge, it seems a bit like character ability overlap or obsolescence to include a (Faster charging) dodge ability on another class (Dawnblade) on top of their pre-existing class ability. I know it has requires the user to be airborne but with their ability to shoot while gliding negates this as a negative.
Furthermore having the Titan Rally Barricade include an insta-reload also seems to have a bit of an overlap here. Because not only do players crouched behind the barricade receive instant reloads but they are also protected to some degree. The protected and instantaneous nature of the reload outclasses the Hunters Dodge Reload because Hunters have to wait for the animation to complete before firing again while still being susceptible to incoming damage.
(Change suggestions)
Hunter:
1: Change Double tap to Press and Hold.
2. Reduce Dodge cool down.
3.Add temp Damage Boost to Self and nearby team after Marksman's Dodge. (Alongside the self reload to capitalize DPS factor)
4.Add 2 sec Vanish in Smoke like effect to Gambler's Dodge. (To avoid simply getting hit again up close)
Warlock:
1. Change Icarus Dash to cancel Glide after use. (Glide can be re-started)
2 .Increase cool down time of Icarus Dash
Titan:
1. Remove Instant Reload on Rally Barricade.
(alternate replacements: Increase Stability, Reduce Flinch, Increase Fire Rate, additional Knock back)

Warlocks and titans don't need a nerf, hunters just need a buff. The warlock solar subclass actually has a cool super now.
