Best PVP Subclass?

I'm just a casual player, but here's what I think about the state of subclass balance in Crucible. If you disagree, lmk why! Stasis Hunter: 6/10 Strong AOE control with Duskfield grenades, counters Stasis Titan builds with fragment, lots of ability points. The super is one of a few that counters Arcstaff.  Stasis Warlock: 8/10 Turrets are good at pressuring an area. Freezing from the melee or rift requires good timing. Super has a long cooldown, and counters many common supers.  Stasis Titan: 7/10 Only 1 build stands out: spam ice with exotic chest piece and use ice crystals to build overshield. Almost requires use of Cerberus exotic weapon, and the build viability is highly dependent on map layout. Possible other builds could incorporate the evasive movement from the long-distance slides and melee ability.  Void Hunter: 10/10 Invisibility is arguably the strongest ability in the game (masks health, disguises most special weapons, obscures visibility, and breaks radar tracking). Any exotics that abuse this ability are worthwhile. The smoke grenades create further chaos by "tricking" enemy radar. Best build for flanking.  Void Warlock: 7/10 Rift ability with Child of the Old Gods pairs well with certain weapons. Enhanced axion bolts are low risk and difficult to avoid. Blink + Exotic helmet is a viable build for aggressive players. Void Titan: 10/10  Overshield barricade is the strongest ability for controlling lanes. Has one of the fastest charging supers in the game, especially good for capturing zones. Tons of build variation is available by varying exotic armors and weapons. Get to lanes fast using shoulder charge.  Solar Hunter: 8/10 Strong supers and melee ability. Blade Barrage is the strongest shutdown super in the game. Golden gun is arguably the strongest 6v6 super. The dodge provides a similar boost to Dragon's Shadow exotic, and makes slow-handling weapons much better. Caliban's Hand, Ahamkara's Spine and Athyrs buff the neutral game of this class somewhat, but these builds are highly dependent on map layout and enemy team matchups. Easy Radiant procs for a slight damage boost works well with certain weapons.  Solar Warlock: 9.5/10 Best movement in class with Icarus Dash. Restoration x2 healing grenades are the strongest health regeneration ability. Rifts counter primary weapons especially well. All supers are subpar. Well of Radiance is countered by almost every other super, and Dawnblade charges slowly. The melee ability is especially strong when following up a shotgun shot. This is arguably the strongest class for aggressive players.  Solar Titan: 7/10 Only 1 viable build: Lorely Helmet Titan. Lorely helmet titans with high resilience essentially have a rift up at all times. This class' neutral game is similar to void titan's, but it requires the use of a single exotic to be viable, whereas Void titans don't need an exotic to achieve the same advantages. The supers have a long cooldown with no fast-charging options available. Get to lanes fast using shoulder charge.  Arc Hunter: 6/10 Arcstaff counters some shut down supers. The long-distance melee range is great, but slow and easily avoided. One hit melees are possible. New super is the worst in the game. Get to lanes fast using Blink.   Arc Warlock: 9/10 New melee is the best in the game. Any build that abuses the melee is strong. Strong option for aggressive shotgun players. Supers are subpar, but Landfall allows for an easy kill when using Stormtrance.  Arc Titan: 10/10 Tons of viable builds. Strongest build is Knockout + Enhanced Storm grenade. Melee kills heal and have 8m range when a shield is broken. Enhanced Storm Grenades are the best grenades in the game. Thunderscrash is a top-tier shutdown super. Get to lanes fast using shoulder charge. The overshield ability is okay, but you lose Knockout or the enhanced grenades and your class ability.
