Why launch rankings conflict
Sites rank different classes at the top because they mix regions, patches, solo impressions, PvE output and PvP performance. Those are not interchangeable questions.
Evidence standard
A useful ranking needs a Global patch date, named activity, comparable equipment, enough observations and a transparent method. One creator’s impression can be valuable context but not a universal tier.
What to use today
Choose by role and playstyle. Revisit performance claims after Global endgame groups and competitive play produce a stable body of evidence.
