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?

Edited by Combo164: 3/31/2015 11:08:01 AMHmmm I'm not all too surprised by the numbers. Actually the more i think on it, i kinda am. As someone who started as a hunter and then starting spacing out with the other classes, the best thing the hunter has over other classes, in my opinion at least is the supers, too an extent of course. While other classes are one and done with their super, the hunter is capable of picking off enemies separately with golden gun and bladedancer, this is excluding sunsinger. Ideally, golden is the deadliest pvp super since you can kill multiple yet separated targets, you can also take out groups in control from shots and combustion, all from a safe distance. Not to mention you can shut down blade dancers, FoH titans before they're close, sunsingers, novabomb guys and a titan bubble. Bladedancer is less effective against the other supers, basically the opposite of gunslinger in terms of effectiveness, unless you catch others off guard. Perks, grenades and melee perks are about even for each class, all having their own uses. I think where people are getting the rage from, aside from typical keyboard warrior mentality, is because you said the hunters are op and unbalanced, heavily so, and when anything is labeled op, people usually group that with calling for a nerf of some kind. Super wise, golden gun and bladedancer are timer based supers, which if not used right can net less to no kills. Not to mention dying without a kill with either super will be a wasted super since you can get your super back. Not to mention i personally find the melee of the hunters less effective (especially blink strike) than sunsinger shield, damage of storm fist and shoulder charge, perks on void walker melee and other things. Unless you're skilled with a throwing knife. Also the hunters grenades are good but....they're ok. Lightning grenade has netted me more kills not to mention hunters can't have 2 grenades. I've basically contradicted myself when i said other abilities were even. But then again, this is my personal thought on hunter abilities compared to others. Supers everywhere.
