Hey, what a coincidence, I too am getting incredibly frustrated by this MO.
... though for some reason I seem to be the only one to have a burning hatred for predator hunters, specifically.
Normal hunters are extreme nuisances by themselves, and they're the only reason I never play bugs unless the MO REALLY wants me to.
But predator hunters? They're just the opposite of fun.
I can tolerate the debut leviathans, I can tolerate heavy devs laying suppressive fire through their shields, I could tolerate (formerly) ninja chargers doing 270° turns to rosemaryify me, I can tolerate Alduin being
if (! player.hasStims()) { fuckingDie(); }, I can even (barely) tolerate 6 elevated overseers teleporting up and down sniping me from 200m...but Epstein hunters are just simply fun sinks.
It's infuriating that I have to dedicate a stratagem slot, my primary and my grenades simply to survive hunters IF they are alone - SOL if I fail to prioritize them within 2 seconds after they get a line of sight on me.
Because if you prioritize anyhing else - with the possible exception of stalkers - they turn invisible, jump at you, take 1/3 to 1/2 of your health from you each, AND cc you if you don't have the Motivational Shocks booster on.
But even stalkers are easier to deal with, because they beeline to you and occasionally fall back; Minecraft Youtuber hunters flank you and evade your shots. WHILE INVISIBLE.
