Because as a percentage there are significantly more Hunter players than Warlock or Titan. Also, the Sunsinger has a duration based super but you didn't seem to be addressing that, did ya? Let's not kid ourselves, you just seem salty that you can't reach the Lighthouse because you are unable to properly use your super and class abilities to your advantage. Let's break it down one by one: The whole idea of a duration-based super is simply like machine guns vs. rockets. We know how that works, right? Usually, if you can do well with them and survive the onslaught of rockets, you can go on a nice spree with a machine gun and your kills will be fairly spread out. However, you put yourself at a risk due to the machine gun simply offering more risk than a rocket launcher. Rockets on the other hand are limited, but devastating. With decent timing and placement, they can wipe teams, but more importantly they deny the other team their heavy and they save you from death. This is the main point; while they may get you less kills, they also get you less deaths. I think you should keep in mind that Hunters have the lowest amount of health, even with max armor. Not a huge margin but it does affect gameplay with certain weapons. In Golden Gun you have no damage resistance whatsoever, meaning that you can be sniped or taken out by a shotgun or even a primary if you happen to miss your target. The thing about Golden Gun is that you either kill or be killed. If you miss your target and there's more than one person aiming at you, you will die 100%. There's a risk associated with it and you are not protected from potential attackers. It embodies what a Hunter should be, even in your opinion. Lethal but squishy and vulnerable. I would say it's fair enough. Three shots is actually a little bit considering that there are gamemodes with 6 enemy players, meaning unless you get lucky with Combustion or Keyhole, you're not getting more than 3 (or 4 with Symbiote) kills if you maximize your super. In Arc Blade you have damage resistance but you are also restricted to melee range. It's a more than fair trade off since every other duration-based super (even including the upcoming Hammer of Sol) is ranged. I would like to have recorded beforehand all the times I was able to successfully kill a Bladedancer in their super, which was a lot. The key is shoot them a couple times with a primary, switch to a shotgun, give them a good blast or two in the head, and they're dead. Again, lethal but vulnerable (yes, even with damage resistance because of the massive range restriction). Perfectly follows your vision of how a Hunter should be. Then there's the thing about it being a super on a timer, rather than a one-off. I already explained this above, but to elaborate again: those one off supers have high kill potentials with low risk, but more importantly the ability to turn a situation of certain death to one or more kills. Good luck doing that with a Hunter super because you will be gunned down and smashed to a pulp. In fact, there is a video of a Titan player on youtube who got an Unbroken medal, mainly thanks to his Fist of Havoc. You know how? He was taking burn damage, so [b]he wasted his super purposefully to save himself from certain death, and it worked[/b]. If he was playing a Hunter, he would have no Unbroken medal at all. Given how much deaths count in the Trials of Osiris and how little affordance for risk there is, having supers that actually save you from death like that while having a great kill potential is vital. I have seen games of Trials frequently turned around by a Fist of Havoc that wasn't really extraordinary or very precise. He was simply the last man standing after getting revived, he had his super, the other 3 were near him to gun his down. Boom, Fist of Havoc, they all die and lose the round. If he were a Hunter, he would not be able to do this. As a Hunter you have to be predictive and so not only do you risk death if confronted with too many enemies, you risk wasting your super if someone with a shotgun or sniper just clears out the two guys you were going for before you could get to them. It's also worth mentioning that 95% of the rounds, your guns and your effectiveness with them will win you matches, more than your super will. If you aren't reaching the Lighthouse you are probably either in a bad team or you are not capable of effectively using your guns, because that's what this game is: a shooter. My friend has a Warlock and a Hunter, and his Trials of Osiris KD on the warlock is 1.67, but only 1.30 on the Hunter. If you are using ineffective counter-strategies or simply not playing well then don't expect the game to adjust everything to cater to your needs. I'm not saying you're bad, but this is the impression you are giving me right now. You don't have statistics at all and your whole post is based on an assumption. If the statistics do end up backing what you say, keep in mind what I said at the very top of my post: as a percentage there are significantly more Hunter players than Warlock or Titan. Also, it's worth mentioning that Titans are the fastest class in the game if you can use their jump properly. There's a technique called "skating" which uses the Increased Control or Catapult jumps to move quicker than anyone else can. Search up "destiny titan skating" on google and enjoy :)

More people use hunters I get all 3 there every week. Warlock is the easiest. Titan will be crazy when we get solar hammer

I agree heavily with the bottom half of your post, as we both see the classes for the way they are meant to be, and I also heavily agree with the fact that Titans do not stand up to the role they are meant to play. I do not agree with Hunters being OP though (unbalanced, as you put it). The Crucible is only one half of the game. Patrols, strikes, raids, PoE, and other things are the other half. So, when comparing the classes together, do not only focus on PvP strengths, but focus on all their strengths. Hunters are meant to be the lethal, "hunting" type warriors of light, and with that in mind, do you not think that they could handle fighting other guardians with steady, planned shots? Hunters are very good in PvP, but hold little strengths in PvE. If it wasn't for Celestial Nighthawk, Gunslingers would be nigh useless in PvE. Blade Dancers are forced to play as the fireteam medic because of their invisibility abilities, which is actually very helpful, but they do not hit the enemy hard (ever), and their super most often times get's them killed, unless they are using it to run away. Titans unfortunately perform poorly in the Crucible, because if you think about it lore wise, they are meant to hold the line, to lend support, to be the wall between the enemy and the innocent. They are meant to fight the enemy, not their allies. Likewise, Ward of Dawn is super helpful in many situations in PvE, and can be helpful in PvP. Striker can be offensively strong in PvP, but it's full potential is realized in PvE situations (being able to take out a whole area of enemies at once, not as high of a risk for Shoulder Charge, other things). Warlocks are the middle ground. They are powerful in both PvP and PvE almost equally, but do not excel in either. Radiance is a unique ability that is very annoying for enemies and other Guardians. Nova Bomb acts like Fist of Havoc but is safer to use. Various Warlock abilities reduce the cooldown of everything, a helpful ability in all fields. So, when you look at it that way, the classes are pretty balanced. Hunters excel in PvP, Titans excel in PvE, and Warlocks are decent in both.

Good players with good teams go to lighthouse. I've gone with every character. First to go was the warlock. Just saying.

IM LOLing OUT LOUD at the titan has the weakest Melee! HAve you actually figured out how to use your shoulder charge? Cuz its a one hit kill on anyone you come into contact with!

Please never post again

Agility.

See that tumble weed rolling in your post........................
