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 TeKnoVKNG23: 4/27/2015 2:10:32 PMWas surprised Warlocks are lower than Titans, I actually enjoy my warlock much more than my Titan and feel that overall Titans are the worst suited for PVP, especially since they lack blink. I wouldn't necessarily say hunters are overpowered, but they are the easiest/low maintenance class to master for PVP. Both of their supers are very well suited to PVP and you have exotics that enhance both of them in terms of arc blade duration and giving them an extra golden gun shot. Personally I feel Hunters are the worst class to play in PVE, but they are geared more towards PVP with their abilities. The one drawback is they can be killed when activating their super, where with Warlock/Titan if you hit your super but die before it fires you still get to keep it. With a hunter if you are killed during your activation sequence you lose your super completely. Also people tend to go for hunters because they see all the better PVP players using, again because they are the easiest class to really master for PVP and when you get really good with them you can do some work in the crucible. You have the risk of being killed in your super, but when you get good enough to know when to activate it you can easily get 4-5 kills like its nothing with Arc Blade/Golden Gun. I've always found it much tougher to get big multi-kills on my titan and warlock with their supers. Hunters just make everything a bit easier, especially when you add in things like invisibility, but you still have to know how to use the class to be good with it. Personally I think Warlocks are better, but require a bit more knowledge and ability to play.
