Hey there,
sorry for the title, it was chosen to get your attention :)
Let's face some facts:
1. My english is not the best, sorry for that and I hope you'll still get the point
2. There are more hunters in crucible than titans AND warlocks together and it's still growing. You don't believe me? Check guardian.gg or look up your crucible kill counter emblem. Feel free to think about the reasons by yourself. After crying a bit about spectralblades destroying the whole team nearly 2 times in one super I decided to go for a hunter twink. And guess what I'm doing now...? I've also got luna's with the hunter instead of my titan (at least the last step).
So... I don't want to say hunter is OP or such shit because that is not the point. The point is that there is one class (which is... let's say mostly picked in pvp) which "asks kindly" to nerf oneeyedmask. And here we go. I was so glad while reading the about the spectralblade nerf for example, but wait... what? Literally NOTHING was changed.The dmg reduction while in super and stealth got "nerfed" from 67% to 62% (or sth like that) and the duration was shortened by 3 (?) seconds. After one or two days everybody realized that there was nearly no change...
And now I read about upcoming OneEyedMask nerf. And it's nerfed by 50% (time, bonus, behavior). Same happend to ursa furiosa, nobody wants to use these gauntlets. I admit that it is a must have in pvp (also good in pve) but it's not because it's OP, it's because the other choices are garbage. With every class you have 1-2 exo you can benefit most from in crucible and the rest never saw daylight. After the patch you will see more titans with shoulder bash and mask skating for your face. After some more "gentle demands" this one will get nerfed.... The whole thing is snowballing because you (bungie) are listening to the class which dominated crucible for a very long time.
You can nerf whatever you want (I swear, I love my titan), so long I'll keep teabagging ppl with my hunter in crucible/comp after a teamwipe and one more medal to make shaxx proud :)
PS: I feel with you warlock friends... I don't know why the fu** you got nerfed (or forced to swap supers).
No offense, Peace!

Edited by Soujourn_NL: 2/26/2019 1:15:15 PMLet me tell you in plain words why i think Hunter is most played. As a warlock and titan you float during your jump... when you float you are a target and an easy one at that.... that is for me the biggest reason. Then you get the dodge-reload reason... rift and a barrier can do the same, just not as quick and you die while attempting to lay down a rift more then not. I think that explains Hunters being the dominant class in PvP. [quote]-The duration of the Mark of Vengeance has been reduced from 15 seconds to 8 seconds -The way players refill health after a successful kill has changed. Before, it restored all of your health and the overshield refilled over time. Now, the health refills over time alongside the overshield. This should give a leg up when encountering situations where multiple people are fighting one person with the One-Eyed Mask equipped. -Vengeance will no longer trigger for players in Super. This was making Supers far too potent.[/quote] Now to OEM. When you nerf a hunter mask that "only" starts heal on dodge because its OP how can you not nerf a mask that gets an instant overshield, heal and extra damage?During a super that makes you pretty much invincible, i've seen a Titan survive 3 golden gun shots because he make a kill after the 2nd hit. You may feel it's unfair, yet you should admit this was incoming from the day they introduced it. And it's partly thanks to all the ppl who asked for a nerf on Worm Husk Crown. (and i agree with both nerfs being fair and needed in PvP) If you are unlucky they did the same as WHC and 1 hit stops the regen.... As to the time nerf, they nerfed the time your assailant is marked (when you can see him trough walls) yet your bonus damage on the marked target stayed the same. They now start regen of shield and health at the same time, just like how they nerfed WHC. They are not listening to just one class.. but the community or did you think by kissing ass with your Nova Warp sympathy comment warlocks would ignore the imbalance of the OEM? Well since you are "teabagging" somebody i would not be suprised if you did....
