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 have clear advantages. Both supers are amazing! Gunslinger gives you gun perks and that can't be said for any other class plus it has a beast of a super. Bladedancers can go invis, blink jump and go hungering blade that makes them a ninja tank. Plus I believe guns handle better in a hunters hands in general. My first was a hunter and when I made a warlock and then a Titan the biggest differences I noticed were; 1) it's easier to stay alive as any other class, I was used to having to hide as a hunter but the other two classes seem to absorb damage better 2) guns like hand cannons, scout rifles and snipers were a lot harder to use on other classes. Just like exotics have secret perks I think Hunters have a secret stability perk for precision weapons. It's crazy easy to get headshots with my hand cannons on the hunter, pretty easy on the warlock and a bit more difficult on the titan.
