[quote]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?[/quote] Or because hunter is the most played class.

  • Try readying the numbers again. 38:31:31 is numbers played. But the top players are 60+ hunters huge statistically significant difference. Since a logical assumption would be that the top players experimented with all classes, you know something a good player does...., then it would seem the majority have figured out that hunters are the most effective... Ie OP

Ie OP[/quote] So just because they happen to be the most played class in the top 100 makes them OP? Care to explain why that is so? What os it about hunters that make them OP? I see all the classes as balanced. Hunters are the more agile class, which is why a lot of people, including myself, like to play as hunters, but they are also very squishy as well as have disadvantages in terms of grenades, can die in 1 hit in supers easily, etc. Now a reason why a lot of good players prefer the hunter is because they have gained quick reaction times and awareness of their surroundings from experience and since hunters are agile, it goes helps with this. The feat can easily be done on other classes too, but being agile can help with it more. Dont forget though that titans have shoulder charge which is a 1 hit KO.

  • They are not squishy, they hve the same health depending on how the subclass is set up. Their supers make it super easy to get multiple kills every time, not just when the other team is stupid enough to sit in a circle holding hands. As for shoulder charge it doesn't make up for lack of overshield or ranged melee and more often ends in getting shot down or shotgunned

Titans have overshields during animations which are nearly impossible to kill them in. Heck I can hit them twice with aecblade and still not kill them. Also, I am lucky if I can even get more than 1 kill with bladedance. I get one shotted quite often b4 I can even get a kill.
