I've got both (Destiny)

I've played Sunbreaker and GG/BD in mayhem back to back. On my BD I was averaging .5-.8 KD. It was terrible. I could be blade dancing, come around the corner on a Titan, and he would pop his hammer, I would hit him once, and then he would throw one hammer and kill me.

Changing to GG, I could prep and get the kill but any mistake, or getting unlucky, was death. I had better luck spamming grenades then using GG.

Conversely on my Sunbreaker I was routinely doing 2-3 KD. It was easy, if you missed with one hammer just toss another, you have plenty. With the high jump giving great viability.
You could even toss hammers around a corner and get splash kills on people waiting with shotguns. The warmup time is low, and easy to use as a counter when I saw other people pop their supers because I knew I could not be oneshot by SC, GG, BD or nova.

The sunbreakers have exceptional synergy in class and an all round better super. The only situation where GG comes out ahead is on long range bosses with Celestial Nighthawk. If you wanted to fix this then there needs to be major changes to the GG tree, and Over the Horizon and Keyhole need to be rolled into the super.

As it stands, a Nightstalker with the 3 shot bow is a better GG then GG.
