Yes you are right. I play usually as a Hunter in Crucible. They are much more effective. Both Bladedancer and the Golden Canon. But Titans aren't that bad in Iron Banner. But you have to play either very aggressive (Shotgun, Shouldercharge, The last Word) or very defensive (Defender, good assault rifle (I used the Monarchy Rifle with 22 rounds per mag) and also a shotgun). But it is harder to play them in a good way.
