PVP Improvement Idea - Nemesis!

PVP has certainly gone down hill with very little balance which is not helped by piecemeal class improvements creating what seemingly is imbalance in a perpetual state! For quite some time now, there has been a rotating OP class ... started with TR, then GWF, to HR, to CW, etc. It makes PVP frustrating and makes tactical options for teams rather narrow.
My thought is for each class to have a specific "nemesis" ... this class, in PVP, would have buffs and bonuses against their "prey" class. For instance, HR becomes a TR killer, a TR is GWF killer, SW becomes a CW killer, GWF a DC killer, DC a SW killer ... etc.
The buffs and bonuses should be that, given equal gear scores, the prey class should have only small chance on average (let's say 20% based on skill) to actually win a 1v1 vs his nemesis. What this would do, is help curb OP classes and allow team tactics to adjust to say the HR or TR that is holding a node by themselves ... send the nemesis!
This is just a rough idea but any thoughts?

It would be too imbalanced and RNG-based on the comps for the regular PVP matches

Well it's already kinda implemented:
- DC's nemesis: CW. SWs, TRs, HRs can kill DCs too with glyphs, and GWF/GF might one-rotation them with Intimidation/Anvil crits. Grim prospects for this class lol
- SW nemesis: CWs and mostly everything else that's decent
- CW nemesis: HR, GF, GWF. Some TRs might be able to kill CWs but it ain't easy.
- TR nemesis: HR, specific CW gamestyle with DoTs/bile Steal Time etc., GWF Intimidation if it hits
- GWF nemesis: HR, getting ranged by CW/SW without being able to reach them, some GFs and TRs
- GF nemesis: HR, I don't think other classes are equipped to reliably kill GFs at this moment
- HR nemesis: no specific class :P GWF/GF/CW might get lucky and get a kill 1vs1 from time to time... but it's next to impossible vs proper build. proper played HRs. You kinda need to 2vs1 them.
