Very interesting...
"trader hunter/hunting" can be a profession but the way i see and use it is: 'task'.
So hunting a trader for me would involve conciously targeting trader whenever possible and keeping tabs on enemy trader, rather than enemy tanks. I dont see any tactical advantage in ebing a 'specialised' trader-hunter unless it involves playing normally with a normal build, or one that works 'normlaly' against tanks. Hunting a trader would involve what i described (the task) and perhaps a tweak of your build. For example, you might get speed boost or teleporter a bit earlier. Maybe not go short ranged (different build).
Still, interesting to say because hunting a trader would require this attitude, that its only a 'task' that each team member to add to their things to do list. YES it requires a whole team to effectively stall trader. The only other counter is to have your own trader. None? go trader yourself. IN games with trader, there should be one on each side but this is virtually impossible to enforce. Thats why trader is off by default in normal mode. Turning trader ON should be the mode rather than off with this recent change.
Exo:
- In custom modes menu, change the trader button to 'allow trader' rather than 'no trader' because default (normal) does not include trader.
- Dont let trader with invulnerability shield to trigger mines or trader becomes godly minesweeper in addition to other proffessions.
