i would make the arguement that rage has the best anti-kite mechanisms. with force crush and obliterate (which increases movement speed by 40% for 5 sec after every use) people kiting me is not one of my complaints. also lets not forget crippling slash which we all get. 50% speed reduction for 12sec (i think) does just fine for me when combined with the aforementioned abilities.
Also, on a different note, some of the most revolutionary discoveries ever made in science were done without "data" and "tests" or even math. Einstein discovered relativity with a simple thought experiment. Sound, logical, conclusions can outweigh anyhting else sometimes.
