How overpowered are hunters? A selection of random games.

Over the last couple weeks I've taken a screenshot of every game I played and looking through them I saw a trend. Most of the time hunters were doing over twice the damage as any other class in the battlegrounds.

Here is just a couple of the screenshots:

Overpowered much?
 
Of course hunters are overpowered. When I look at the score board to see who's above me, and see a hunter, I know I can say "oh, but he's just a hunter, that means nothing"...
 
Sorry guys but Duckhunt proves that hunters aren't overpowered. I have about 50 screenies aswell with hunters on top but I guess that's just me because he can almost out dps badly twinked hunters as a priest.
 
Never said hunter's weren't over powered. Just showing a lot of it has to do with the player, not the class.
 
most of Duckhunt's pics are sorted by KB's, not Dmg. A hunter was top DMG in almost all of them.

A hunter doesn't even have to struggle to get number 1 on damage done.



...which is why they are overpowered.
 
Yeah, I don't have that sweet damage hunters do and I'm constantly OOM. But if you think about it, my smites are hitting for 140 each. With talents, I could get 5% more crit and lower it to a two second cast.



140/2= 70dps.



Not to mention my 47ish SW:p ticks.
 
do hunters do the most dps? sure, maybe SP stacked dot spamming locks can do more, but hunters have typically the top slots in each game



but there are a couple things that don't make them as OP as they seem:



pugs typically don't have healers

dps does not mean victory



yes, hunters are overpowered to a degree, especially in pugs, but when you get closer and closer to teams which have more and more twinks with more and more class balance (such as with solid FCs, CC, healers), hunters just become a good DPSer and not really an overpowered class at all.
 
since when has this game been a team effort? I've been by myself isolated from any teamwork on Bleeding Hollow for almost four years. I'm sure it is not the way most of you think but if I want anything done I have to do it myself, every time; and it gets done.
 
seriously, why do threads like this not get deleted immediately? i don't understand what constructive purpose a thread like this serves....probably because it DOESN'T serve one.



everyone agrees that hunters are overpowered at level 19. what point are you trying to prove here? hunters have been overpowered in pug battlegrounds at level 19 since this game was released. i already knew that hunters were overpowered at 19. then i read your thread. now after reading it, you have convinced me of absolutely nothing except the fact you are a whining noob.



this is like the 6th or 7th thread that i have flamed on these forums devoted solely to complaining about level 19 hunters. i have seen a total of 0 (zero) threads devoted to the discussion of countering or neutralizing hunters at level 19. seriously mods, just start deleting these already.
