This is a little social experiment ;) I already know that there are alot of people that are practically married to their subclass and are going to completely disagree with me no matter what. There is no denying it and it is going to happen. No exceptions. But despite that, I have decided to state my reasoning for why and how the Defender is the most overpowered subclass in Destiny. And if you are going to argue for your subclass, please just read this post first because because my arguments and opinions matter as much as yours and I may have even addressed some things that you argued about.
-Best Grenade: Suppressor Grenade
~This is the best grenade because it is the only grenade that can stop enemies from using their abilities. Even taking people out of their supers.
-Best Jump Ability: Increased Control
~This is the best jump ability because it allows titans to "titan skate" and reach the fastest speed out of all of the other classes. And I said classes, not subclasses so don't get it confused please.
-Best Super: Ward of Dawn
~Armor of Light gives the most damage resistence out of every super and can even be used outside of the Ward of Dawn if positioned properly.
~Blessing of light with Illuminated can allow you to tank a sniper headshot from the 1000 Yard Stare arctype of sniper or lower and can easily be exploited by teammates.
~Weapons of light can allow a one shot body shot from 1000 Yard Stare arctype or higher even without Illuminated, which is so broken that it is banned from Sweats. No other super ability is banned.
~Only super that can make you and your allies invincible from weapons which are used 90% of the time.
~Longest lasting super that lasts from 30 seconds to 45 seconds with the effects (Blessing of Light and Weapons of Light) lasting from 55 seconds to 60 seconds depending on if you are wearing the Glasshouse or not.
-Best Melee Ability: Force Barrier
~Although the melee range is terrible on the titan, once the Force Barrier is active, itis one of the most broken things. It already can tank a headshot from the above mentioned sniper arctype without the perk Relentless which increases the already powerful shield. And Unbreakable makes this broken shield regenerate. And using No Backup Plans can allow you to ignore using T-Rex arms at all by using a shotgun instead.
-Can reach max armor and tank things that other classes cannot tank
~With Titan Codes I, Titan Codex IV, Untouchable, and a chestpiece with that gives more void armor, the Defender can reach maximum armor and can tank things like Shoulder Charge, two of the three sticky grenades, and 4 Last Word bodyshots/2 headshots and 1 bodyshot. And there are other things too.
These are some of the major reasons for why Defender is overpowered. But with that being said, it is very unlikely that the Defender will be buffed or nerfed in the future and that is a good and bad thing. There are some things that are absolutely broken on Defender like Weapons of Light and Force Barrier while there are things that could use a buff like melee range and the health of Ward of Dawn.
This isn't satire for those of you that don't take Defender seriously or just assume that it is based on the title.
