But everyone knows that the Abjured pays off anet's balance team to tweak the meta so their mains are overpowered.

I fear this as well. Anet has a strong tenancy to overtune then overnerf leaving classes absent from meta for far too long. As people qq more when a class is too strong but noone complains when a class is absent do to overnerf unless it's their main.

 

For example, how many posts are there on scourge compared to the amount of posts complaining about how revs are hurting and renegade needs major love in pvp...

Nah, I play DH and I was always annoyed with DH traps (I tried to get by without them). All you have to do is pop regen before entering or force them out of their traps. If you run into a trap, you have about a second and a half before any real damage hits you, so you can dodge once you see the trap and be almost unscathed. Then they have no utility abilities and are vulnerable.
