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?

  • Well..when I play a titan I think close combat ;) (get shotgun a lot so I'm not so good with them.) When I would play a warlock I also get some what close( for that strong melee and nova bomb) when I play hunter I normally don't get close. Play from range..(less death BC people I guess are better in close range.) I could play titan and warlock at long distance but I feel they aren't meant for long range. Do good players stay away from close combat? (To a void titan n warlock strong melee, grenade and super) I think yes. I feel hunters are best for that.(mid-far) that's why hunters can increase zoom on goldgun...have a range melee...and have placeable grenades. So are hunters op? I think not. I think mid-far range is just the best combat. Once seen a defender take down like 10 players in close range BC he had his bubble up. Does that make titans op? No they're just the master at close range. But most people know to stay away. So not always the best pick in PvP. Warlocks....they have a bad jump...can get killed easy if used at a bad time. Masters at...who knows but they can play close-far...doesn't matter. But they arnt the best for ether one....so are hunter op? I say no..they're just best at the best(safe) way to play.
