If stompees is balanced and doesn’t give a huge advantage over movement and positioning…
Why haven’t you taken them off, no no no! Don’t un-equip them now, it’s okay to admit you have a problem—an addiction.
We should discuss it.

I’ll just link this here, it’s a well rounded video and does a good job at adressing stompees.

Two reasons, one, hunters don’t have exotics that are as strong as the other class’s except for stompees. Two, speed is the best right now. Let’s compare exotics. Stompees to Tsteps, and dunes. They’re all about equal. Stompees give a jump boost whole dunes give you a crazy melee and steps reload. Dragon shadow, you have to burn a dodge in order to get the handling/ speed. Look at ophidians. They give great melee range, and handling, CONSTANTLY. Peacekeepers are nuts, but only work on one weapon type. Wormhusk, compared to OEM this thing is trash. It isn’t bad at all, but OEM is much, much better. Stompees are totally fine, I’m a little tired of the community listening to QP stars that don’t look at the entire story of exotics in destiny. While coolguy has a nice video that comes from a good place, I can do all of the things that I can do on a hunter on a warlock. The only reason I still play hunter all of the time is because I have and attachment to the class, they’re super cool to me. I’ve always liked the fantasy of the hunter class.
