I'm most interested in Super balance (Destiny)

Today I noticed that somehow I was right at the edge of leveling up House of Judgement so I played a single matchmake of Prison of Elders. Oh man, I was just completely and totally bored. Not because it was super easy, though it was, but because my teammates were a pair of Stormcallers who at the start of each wave would light up their supers and completely clear every single enemy. For 90% of the time there was absolutely nothing for me to do.

Really, Storm Trance is just woefully overpowered. It seems to last as long as any Super. It is way, way more powerful than most Supers. It is extremely easy to use since it chains from enemy to enemy. And it generates Orb of Light like crazy. Anybody playing a Bladedance has got to be seething my now. Arc Blade struggles to kill a singly yellow bar enemy and might generate an two Orbs while a single use of Storm Trance pretty much kills everything everywhere.

The other thing I'd like to see, of course, is more love given to the Defender Titans. I'll stop playing Destiny until the Fall Update if that graph that showed Defender Usage and Defender K/D has changed from Defenders being basically nonexistent. Giving back a grenade and melee charge when someone has just lit up pretty much any other Super simply does not cut it. I love my Defender. Defender is my preferred class in PvE. But trying to bring a Defender into the Crucible and personally do well is a fools errand. Especially in game modes like Mayhem where all Ward of Dawn is highlight where the enemy should nuke to kill you and your team. Like I said, I love my Defender, but I have given up on the subclass for Crucible action...
