The players that like the class, LIKE the class. There are those not in favor. Lots of reasons.
I think of the class as a TR with no traps skills and weaker armor. Ranged weapon is triple distance of the TR and hits about as hard. Melee is on par with the TR with both hands.
One big difference, "Marauders" in either stance, 50 feet of blinding travel, into or away from the fray. Possible to strike a killing blow or escape from a killing blow.
Minor stealth ability with chosen feat.
Ranged weapon that can kill minions before they even know you're there, not just one, a feat that releases 5 arrows at once, 5 arrows 5 kills.
If you played a TR you should like the HR.

Some players can't stand a HR in group, dungeon, or PVP. Many say HRs draw the agro, then don't know how to handle it at that point, making the Party situation difficult. That's just one issue with including a HR in group.
Of course there is the other side of the coin too.
Some of best suggestions have been "You" form a group for leveling, dungeons etc. Players that want to play should join the party regardless.
Myself, due to personal schedule, I solo. Everything mentioned has been seen either in chat or the forums just so you know.
