We all know it, (Bungie knows it but refuses to share the statistics): the hunter class is the easiest to pvp with.
Why is it that you see far more hunters that have made it to the lighthouse? You have a class with two supers, that can easily one shot kill opposing team members, all over the map.
With nova bomb or fist of havoc, only grouped enemies are vulnerable. With blade dancer or golden gun, you can wipe out a whole Osiris team, even if they're spread out.
This is not balance.
This is not "good" pvp which rewards skill.
This is a crutch and "i win" button.
The statistics don't lie.
Why won't Bungie address this? Bungie was so quick to nerf the vex and auto rifles, and provided plenty of statistics to support the argument.
If you've made it to the lighthouse as a hunter, I'm happy for you but let's not kid ourselves: some classes require more skill and are at a distinct disadvantage.
Edit: Let's look at each class based on their visual design. This tells you how the class "should" preform.
HUNTERS - Lean, athletic, wearing less armor. They are the snipers, the glass cannons, the... hunters. Their strength less in hitting hardest and not getting hit in return. Why wear armor when you can avoid the hit in the first place? The ranged class in MMOs.
WARLOCKS - These are the wizards, smart, wise, crazy strong space magic, but not meant for physical combat. Robes, not armor. Also thinner, not bulky with armor and physique. Wizard buff/debuff class from MMOs.
TITANS - Wear lots of heavy armor, bulky, muscular physique, slow. Made to withstand a hit, support the team, hold the line, protect the snipers and healers from melee. Tank class from MMOs.
So why is it that Titans, supposedly the strongest, have the weakest melee attack? Why do Titans die just about as quickly as the other classes?
Titans are slower, easier targets, so we should have more health/armor.
Titans are physically stronger than those who study magic all day, or hunt in the wilds, flitting from tree to tree like ninjas. Therefore you'd expect the melee attack to be strongest, which isn't even ranged.
Yes, Warlocks have the strongest melee attack because space magic, fine, but it is also at a range advantage.
I just have a hard time believing a throwing knife is able to find a chink in the armor, while both people are running, at 30 meters.
It is obvious the Titan performance doesn't match the visual design or concept of the class.
Thoughts?

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