I thought it was obvious but let me elaborate; You said " They are made to scout and hang back", right? So, while anyone playing with any class can find a benefit to their play style which is absolutely normal. Your statement is incorrect as they are not made to hang back. Hunters (even you can see that from D1 - Destiny Live action trailer [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOsu-vm4Dg4[/url]) are made for close combat therefore they have the best mobility (not speed, that is gotta be Tank Titans for some reason) beacuse of their jump and class abilities. If you also actually look at the ability trees you can clearly also see that most of Hunter builds are melee oriented or requires you to close by to your enemy like doge ability to disorient the enemies. I am by no means are very talented pvp player but it is not a rocket science either. This does not mean you cannot rock scout rifles with a hunter, of course not. But hunters are definitely not built to stand back, but to be in the middle of the action. PS: It is not facts of playing, your play style only lets you utilize bits and pieces considering you play long range and hang back. You are simply under utilizing hunter's abilities.
