Is it unviable to play non-OP characters in duo hunters outside of low tier?

I’m not the kind of person who thinks double teaming is unfair. It just makes me sad that I can’t play doctor in 2 v 8 anymore because I get jumped by both of them immediately. Its happened multiple games in a row at 7 ciphers. Once again, I don’t dislike the hunters for doing this, but I’m wondering if I’m just supposed to spam rugby ball endlessly so that I have a chance. What’s the point of this game mode if you’re not allowed to kite and have to cheese your way out of the actual game experience?
