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?

Actually I thought your post was a relatively well thought out formative analysis, and in that regard I would tend to agree with you purely empirically though. Which is of course mainly based in the Crucible only. However, I tend to disagree somewhat, in that they are marginally OP and 'generally' (not exclusively) used by people who like to spam Arc-Blade as well as extend that shit well beyond normal realms of reasonability. Then again, you give a V/W Warlock Obs^Mind + Bad-Juju = a maelstrom of bad-ass-ness. I've not read any other posts yet, although generally speaking the Warlock class is perhaps the most versatile of the 3 classes, which is NOT to say better or superior in any way...merely their flexibility has used due to their lack of speciality. Yet that mainly refers to PVE and not PVP. Invariably though I can see this going down quickly into the realms of "hey F@#% you...Hunter Master Race Yo" type of direction if one is but to look at the majority of posts, additionally this is an unfortunate let down for those who wish to have a higher level of discussion. This should be an interesting debate/ discussion...one that has been beaten like so many dead horses, we could make dog food for the redneck republican elites lol - j/k.
