Throwing knife is easier than hammer to aim cause throwing knife makes no sound,people don't dodge and run, and you arent trying it at a distance. Titans skating can run fast, but straight line speed isnt the issue. Have you played a titan vs a hunter? I have. Hunters move much faster and smoother when running away or dodging. Titans feel bulky and slow. Ive been killed out of my HoS much more than out of golden gun. Because golden gun aims easy and straight and if I see them first, theyre dead. On a 1v1 hammer does have the advantage because of damage resist, but how often is it 1v1? Golden gun also has a HUGE advantage when dealing with defender bubbles. Hammer bro usually will die trying to defeat a bubble. Hunter can pop it fast and kill the defender and anyone grouped around him and still have 1 shot left if using helmet. Each has an advantage, and i can tell you from experience that if the health is reduced to a where 1 sniper shot can kill, hammer would be underpowered again. Theyd need to give it blink or a huge agility boost to balance it if the DR is reduced
