High performers use what works. If you see a certain top of class dominating a ladder, it's because that's what works...
While you will certainly find players who have that mindset, and will readily reroll or keep a stable of characters simply so they can have what they perceive as a strong character available at a moment's notice, you might be surprised by how rarely that occurs.
Players definitely have preferences, and when you're looking at a ladder like this, it really is valid to consider how many players are playing each class overall. Hunters, for example, really do have some natural strengths in Rated Battlegrounds; but there are also many fewer active hunters than there used to be. It can be challenging to get the most out of the class, there's a very high skill cap, and the community hasn't exactly given the hunter class a reputation as a PvP powerhouse - whether that reputation is deserved or not.
