"Training Wheels" has also been my opinion, even just reading her abilities when I first got the game, although she was my final unlock outside of CHEF & Loader. It's always been a conundrum: if she was the only unlocked char at start of the game, the learning curve to play any others would be crazy; but once you've learned to play another character she just feels lazy. Imagine all the "WTF why won't my char shoot while running?" posts if she was first. I will admit I was disappointed at the need to stop to fire upon getting the game, but quickly understood that it makes sense since it's not a dual-stick shooter. My first play with Huntress, although I was kinda excited, was super disappointing. I'd rather stop, turn, shoot and actually do some damage vs her little piddly plinks, and I'd already learned to kite like a boss anyway.

I enjoy her existence just as some diversity in the game, but the style just doesn't fit very well into the meta.
