The classes are unbalanced in PvP and Hunters are heavily OP (Proof inside!)

I always had the impression, the classes are not well balanced and therefore I went to destinytracker.com and did some research. I evaluated several Top-100 rank lists (score, K/D etc.) on their site across all platforms and statistically counted the occuring classes. This is the result as a distribution of classes among the Top 100 lists: [b]63% - Hunters 23% - Titans 14% - Warlocks[/b] This leaves two conclusions: 1. Good players play Hunters. 2. Hunters are the most powerful class concerning the Crucible. Personally I doubt 1, at least in with this numbers. Hunters are the most played class, but the distribution in pure played classes is somehow like 38:31:31 (H:T:W). How would you interpret these numbers? edit: It's typical for these forums, how you get attacked and flamed if you open hypothesis like this. Don't get me wrong, kids, I'm not calling for a nerf or anything. I just want to discuss the numbers. And I expect Bungie to do a decent retrospective in the classes balance! edit2: It's interesting to see, how nobody seems to care about this thread but the the Hunter fanboys, who solely come in to cry and tell me to stop crying and to stop to critic their beloved Hunter. This community is really immature and childish. edit3: A lot of people start to argue with class skills or player skills, but can we please reduce to the numbers I posted and you can try explaining them?

  • Hunters are better for crucible in general due to high mobility and the supers are more suited for crucible. The pvp of destiny is very very fast paced with little focus on much that speed. So a class that revolves around speed is much better for it than a space wizard with a slow jump or a slow moving tank. Ofc skilled players can play with either but the hunter is easier for crucible I think. In pve however... It's different. While disregarding supers, I feel all are more or less balanced in pve. Though personally (and its a matter of taste really) warlocks grenades are in general better for pve than the others. But when you put the supers into the equation... Hunters suck in pve. Lol. Well, not suck but... Blade dancer in any end game scenario is a liability and golden gun doesn't do enough damage to make it stand out against a pooping grenade Phoenix, a hulk smash, your own personal protection bubble or a blast of space magic. Still, I think you tend to find the style that suits you the most. You ll see expert players on all classes getting the same results. But when it comes to being easier or harder, I think warlock and titan are easier to use in pve and hunter is easier to use in crucible. My two scents.
