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?

    Look at any game that has "roles" in them; guild wars, Diablo, MOBAs, etc. Guess what class is chosen the most? The hunter, the demon hunter, the ranger, the "carry", the guy who thinks he'll be able to be that "DPS" guy. Even BloodBorne what do you play as? A hunter. Most people wants to be "that guy." Hell I started a hunter and decided to to delete it knowing myself to play the same class[b]all the time[/b]. For D3 I only main a demon hunter. For Guild Wars 2? rogue or ranger. To me, this idea has been engrained from the beginning of all games that have these "roles" if you like it or not, but strength is defeated by agility, agility is defeated my intellect, and intellect is defeated by strength. It has always been that "rock, paper, scissors" concept, no matter how much they don't call it that. People will play what they want to play. People will geared toward ye familiar. Hunter is what's most familiar to (most of) us. Cry whatever. But we already know, destiny as a FPS, MMO (first M being, minuscule), whatever the fck you want to call it, it's PVP competitiveness can never be up to par with other competitive games. For FPS? Imo it's old counter strike.
