A few thoughts (Destiny)

First of all, great breakdown!

While I do think the Sunbreaker's super needs to be toned down, I also feel you being overly dismissive of Golden Gun in a few areas.

The Golden Gun's greatest advantages over Sunbreaker are speed and range. Your shots hit instantly, and from great distance. It is difficult to dodge sunbreaker hammers, but it is impossible to dodge a golden gun shot (assuming the hunter's aim is on point).

I agree that Sunbreaker's have unmatched stopping power when it comes to "who can wipe out the enemy team with the least difficulty), but I still lean towards a GG hunter for PvP. First of all, I find Hunters have the overall advantage in PvP thanks to their base perks and abilities.

On top of that, when it comes to Golden Gun vs Flaming Hammers in a head-to-head shootout, my Golden Gun wins every single time. Without fail, I am able to hide long enough to pop my super, jump around a corner (so I'm above the spot where the sunbreaker is expecting me to appear), and I pop him with my GG the moment I have line of sight. Worse case scenario, even if his hammer is in mid-air, heading straight for my face, I have time to fire my GG and trade kills.

In fact, I'm planning on using my GG Hunter in Trials specifically because I'm so good at shutting down Sunbreaker's with her, and I'm expecting to run in to A LOT of sunbreakers :)
