The issue I have raised is that this data goes back to the beginning and is not an accurate representation of the current state. As I have said narrowing the scope to the release of HoW would be better since it compares apples to apples.

Fresh data is nice, of course, but- No big changes has been made to the subclasses. The only thing that has been changed is the weapon side. The current Meta (hand cannon / shotgun) is actually [i]rather[/i] fresh. Exotics hand cannons only really became viral after the release of ToO. If you look at the weapon table you can see that the majority of stats has been gathered post TDB (seeing as Auto Rifles and Fusion Rifles (Vanilla Meta) are rather low on the board). However, we're working up to send a request for more precise statistics, fresh ones at that.

And the exotic armor

Edited by 传说中的 Ghost: 8/31/2015 5:47:30 PMNot strong enough to change the Meta. The only class that has gotten a [i]somewhat[/i] (though seriously exaggerated) game flow altering piece of armor is Warlock: The Ram. But, its' significance is also somewhat balanced out by The Peregine Greaves.

We all know that Hunters ruled PvP for a while. I believe that looking at a smaller window will reveal that Hunters do not appear OP at all. When playing IB this week I filled the kill Titans and Warlock bounties before filling the kill Hunters bounty. I don't even use Bladedancer at all because I am tired of being killed every time I use it. With the evolution of tactics and gear the balance has shifted or I just have the luck of being match made with a ton of Warlocks and Titans.

Hunter's have great damage potential, if used and initiated correctly. Titans have... Support and an intended AoE damage type- which you have to be extremely lucky with to get more than 1-2 kills with. Warlocks do Titans' job just slightly better imo. [quote]With the evolution of tactics and gear the balance has shifted or I just have the luck of being match made with a ton of Warlocks and Titans.[/quote] People know their stuff better... Some at least. However, I'd say it's just circumstantial that you think you encounter/kill fewer hunters. Personally I haven't noticed any changes to the average demographic spread.
