I agree, however I have a few concerns. One of my concerns with your analysis is that there is no correlation of the players True Skill number for any given class. For example, do the hunters at the top of the arcblade category have a higher True Skill than the defender titans at the bottom? Given that many players have three characters, one of each class, it is easy to assume that a certain number of people will select their class/subclass based upon a pre-determined meta. As you eluded to, the current meta is an exotic handcannon/shotgun. Combine that with a choice of mobility options and super abilities, then one can start to see why certain builds are higher or lower on the leaderboards.

The population is evenly distributed, to a point where simple questions such as [i]are hunters up[/i] and [i]are titans op[/i] can be answered by simple tables. If you want to dwell even deeper into the numbers and make it (maybe too?) complex, then feel free to do so. Reality rarely demands complex explanations though.

I'll say it again :) If the population distribution is based on the whole game (what classes people have) and the kills are based on PvP only, the correlation is not valid.
