DK (If he can avoid being kited)
Moonkin and feral (superior burst, unslowable and better self heal)
Windwalker, close call, kind of even I guess.
Retadin, bubbles, heals, burst, the hunter wont last
Shadow priest, dots kills hunters.
Rogue, if he knows what he is doing the hunter is in trouble.
Eleshammy, better burst, better self heal
Warlock (especially affliction), because too tanky.
Warrior, just keep hunter cc'ed and slowed and its GG
Could it be the fact that hunters are kind of a "noob owning class", but against experienced players they are far from as good as everyone say. Maybe people just look at the BG kill score, always see a hunter at top and make the conclusion that they are OP? Well they are OP at kill shotting people who would have died anyway.
If you look at worldofwargraphs for example, hunters are the class with the least amount of players in higher ratings (best is ranked around 60+)
Thoughts?
