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?

  • Talking Clash..... A lot of people downplaying the Hunter's super as a big differentiator in overall K/D..... In a typical match, a given player will have 2-3 supers so for a hunter this is 8-12 one shot kill opportunities. A decent hunter will convert at least 75% of these opportunities into kills. I think it's fair to say 10 kills from 3 hunter supers is not horribly rare to see. Titans/Warlocks just do not get afforded the same total kill opportunities per super (getting 10+ kills with 3 fist of havoc in one game is pretty rare). Again talking Clash here where you don't have 5 idiots standing next to each taking control points..... Let's say the average hunter gets 4 more kills per game from supers than the avg titan/lock.... So Titans/Locks out there, add 4 kills to your score every game and I bet your K/D starts looking pretty good. If you really care enough about your KD then go make a hunter, despite the noise, they really do have the best PvP supers for KD and it's not close. For the record, I use defender bubble in control so my super LITERALLY gives me no kills. There is value in this super that isn't measured by K/D.
