The main issue there is it doesn't work early on as a counter to paydowns. No matter how much money we hand out, there's no chance people will start the game with enough mercs to have some extras left over unless they go all-in on buying 'mook' type mercs (I think I posted a very simple build for the Doom Cyberdemon once - think stuff like that). Bounties have to work even early on as a counter to paydowns or there's no point. Scaling into the lategame is important too, of course, but not being SOL when Diablo gets paid down is of paramount importance.

(I will say though, if people really do prefer 'targeted' no-slot bounty hunters, we might be able to work on that. It doesn't seem impossible to balance into something workable.)
