i agree with you. i stopped using HH pretty much because of this. years ago getting randomly thrown around the map didnt really matter because maps were easy but now its pretty much an instant death. also it makes looting super annoying. trying to pick something up and then teleporting before you can pick it up.

It's only a instant death if you run around with a mediocre character and barely any defense as mapping became a lot easier over the past years with the ever growing player power lol.

The real problem is that HH became way too cheap over the past leagues and easy accessible for inexperienced players. Kinda the perfect recipe for chaos :)

HH was always for weak characters. usually deadeye or some other ranger. that was the whole point. to give more defense and offense but people usually used it for defensive buffs. maps have become so overtuned that temp buffs from HH do nothing anymore. thats why its cheap and people barely use it compared to years ago. even a rare belt is better now for those who dont have MB

youre not wrong but at the same time you're not acknowledging that it is a problem.

Because I don't see it as a problem or even remotely a "fucking bullshit mechanic" and I'm not going to pretend it is one.

It's an optional item. You can use this item to your advantage by learning it and get rewarded with faster map clear in some situations or you simply don't use it. HH is the most optional it has ever been.

Unless you're farming Legion or Nemeses/Antagonist, chances are you're not gaining much from it in the first place.

Lol no. HH always was a win-more item, heavily focusing and further pushing clear speed above else. The added tankiness was nice as a bonus but ultimately not what you used a HH for. A trash build with HH was still trash.

Threads like this would be a lot shorter if the "Git gud!" battlecry were explicitly declared to be "obnoxious" according to the Code of Conduct. =9[.]9=

Why are people still using Headhunter in 2024?

First world problems. You could use your obscene wealth on any other thing and you choose to buy a chase unique that, big shock, sometimes may be detrimental to you depending on the build.

Inb4 "its 10div". Yeah, for this league. HH has historically been an expensive chase unique since it was released, and it being rendered cheap due to farming exploits doesn't take away from this. It will be expensive again next league, assuming league mechanics doesn't make it stupidly easy to farm again.

Because Mageblood is 200div and still vastly overpriced relative to it being a QoL item that eliminates flask piano. That and depending on the build, getting Soul Eater is an instant win.

one notable mod is the mod that causes the enemy to run away. afaik i've never experienced stealing that mod.

Are you sure the monster exists since the intro of AN?

It's wild that people really forgot how utterly busted HH was before the nerfs, offensively and defensively.

You could literally make a 2mill dps paper thin build and HH would carry you in T16s 100% delirium juiced maps after you've killed 1 rare monster with HH giving you 100k HP, 100k ES and 100kk DPS in the span of a few minutes.

HH is not even remotely as good as before to justify that shit mod to still be a thing.
