First of all, gambit is getting "nerfed" because it was undercosted as Gondorian says. Not because particular hero abused it or anything. It was op for the cost.
They were both 2cc 2 draw but
1. Hit list has no condition to cast while gambit requires opposing ally.
2. It can be casted whenever you can spend 2cc, so it's better than gambit.
3. You can choose when to activate and draw, better than gambit.
4. Multiple copies of hit list can be activated in a turn with just one condition, which is impossible with gambit.
5. Since you can draw cards from your ally's death , it's more versatile and still usable against solo deck, so overall better than gambit.
And then there are ways to support hit list being an item (
Lily, smuggler, cloak etc.) But same can be said to gambit being an attachment so I wouldn't compare that part.
Gambit is supposedly getting nerfed (which I don't think it's necessarily a nerf) because it was undercosted. Hit list is as good as gambit, if not better so i think it should be changed to more appropriate cost or nerf the effect.
