Why people think striker is op all of a sudden

I main hunter and people all over the forums are complaining how op strikers are. I find this ironic because strikers are relatively the same since launch. Guardians (especially my fellow hunters) are bitching about how op shoulder charge and FoH, only because they have saltyness left over from the last nerf. So on behalf of all hunters; I apologize if we bitch more often than usual. And we can't help it that something in our brain called the frontal bitch lobe is working over time. Again I apologize, A SLIGHTLY bitchy hunter

    Thanks for the love hunter. I think we're seeing an uptick in the cries for a nerf to strikers and shoulder charge in particular, because the last round of nerfs made it more difficult for hunters and sunsingers to keep their distance. Strikers are designed to be an in-your-face class with FoH, SC, Juggernaut, and Titan Skating. The whole point of the class is being able to rush your opponent, and if you can close the distance, deal a massive amount of damage to them when you get there. Your opponent's objective should be to keep strikers at bay which is now more difficult to do with the nerfs to smoke bomb, shadestep, and viking funeral. These perks in particular helped to slow strikers down, deal additional damage, or evade them before they could close the distance. Now I don't have to worry as much about the range of firebolts, the stickyness of smoke, or a double shadestep spam as I run in for the kill. As such, Strikers are feeling a little more powerful than they were in the past.
