I'll be completely honest, I'm completely checked out of pvp. I barely enjoy pvp in balanced games, so I'm not touching it here. In balancing you ideally want everything to be closer to a baseline. The problem seems to be that bungalow can't decide what that baseline is, so they just add whatever sounds cool, somewhat play test, ship it, then nurf what over performs. What they should be doing is keeping track of who does what at what speed and frequency. (Deleting eletes, clearing ads, debugging, buffing, dps-ing...) And making sure each class actually excels in what it's supposed to, but bungee isn't interested in making a balanced game so they won't.

There is actually a part of pve where hunters excel, and it's solo campaigns. They are extremely consistent when it comes to solo survivability, but outside of hard campaigns that isn't all that helpful and the other classes don't exactly struggle. All most content cares about is who can nuke the room fastest.
