Hunters are high risk/high reward. They have the ability to rack up the most Super kills per match, but they can also lose their Super when they die during it. The other factor that comes into play at least in some regards is the ability to go invisible and snipe. Can hunters be devastating? Certainly. Are they hands down better than the other classes? I don't think so. I would go so far as to say that the top 20% of the player base would probably do just as well with any class.
