Which class got shafted the most in year 1?

Titan

1733

Hunter

436

Warlock

325

I know the answer is pretty obvious to most people but i still want to hear others thoughts. Im going to say titan. All through year one titans have had the worst melee, exotics, grenades, pvp abilities, supers, and often seemed like a minority of a class. In year 1 it kind of felt like titans were just a piece of garbage added into the game right before launch. I feel like Sunbreaker was bungies way of saying "Sorry you guys were trash for a whole year, heres a present." Let me know what you think

    None. Titans had the greatest exotic ever, the Armamentarium. Combine that with Lightening grenades and hallways became deathtraps. Enemies in PvP and PvE alike cowered in fear at those grenades, or died to them. Defender was the greatest thing since sliced bread during the raids and possibly even PoE depending on your group. Strikers cleared everything in their way with grenades and Fist of Havoc. It became so useful, other classes wanted it nerfed, because Titans learned it could wreck all the stuff we used to fear. Warlocks were the saving grace of nightfalls with self-res, and even trials later on. Also, that grenade spam could clear rooms as well as any Titan. Voidwalker was the mobile Fist of Havoc with the Nova Bomb, capable of stopping much in their path. Hunters were the clutch members of the groups, able to turn invisible if Bladedancers to revive people in bad situations, and to do massive damage to higher level enemies with golden gun. Hunters excelled in crucible, but they were not the best. The players behind them were. A player could make any class shine if they understand them. So no, no class was shafted in year one. In year 2, Titans got Sunbreaker, a far more offensive Fist of Havoc. It wasn't an apology, we needed none. It's currently the Bladedancer class, and once people start figuring out it isn't so scary, it won't be a big deal anymore, just like Arcblade isn't. In year 2, Warlocks got Stormcaller, a 'clear the room' class, that excels at what it is intended for. Currently, it's the 'panic' super when it has landfall, but so what? If they activated it, probably would've died anyway even without the perk, or at least both of us would've died. In year 2, Hunters got Nightstalker, a support class. People who use it defensively or supportively excel with it and generate vast amounts of orbs for their allies to keep destroying everything. They can turn groups invisible, they can scout things, they can shut everything down. Everyone got a nice surprise with the new subclasses, not a single one is an apology. No one got shafted in year 1, no one got anything OP in year 2. Anyone who says otherwise didn't understand a class very well, didn't play as a class, or didn't understand what their role was supposed to be. Trying to break the intended role ends up with problems. You can't effectively play like a Titan on a Hunter, or vice-versa. You can't play Warlock like a Titan or Hunter either. Trying to winds up with death and wipes. So please, don't speak for others when you say Titans got shafted, because it's only 'obvious' to PvP oriented people who never learned how to play a Titan properly. Titans, just like Warlocks and Hunters, were never shafted or gifted the godly power of death that the others didn't also receive.
