My story with TLW in spoiler: [spoiler] Well, shit, I said it; The Last Word takes skill. That is, it takes skill to do well with. TLW is not a gun you can just pick up and go flawless with. I decide to try it out for two weeks, and it is now my favourite primary besides NLB. ' But it's going to be a while before I get [i]good[/i] at it. [/spoiler]

    I personally think the changes they made to TLW were just what needed to happen. The buff to hipfire accuracy and stability (but [i]not[/i] damage) means that using the weapon requires more skill, in my opinion. You're no longer relying on the extra damage to give you the edge. In my head I'm thinking quality over quantity. Instead of increasing the [i]quantity[/i] of the damage done, the perk improves the [i]quality[/i], i.e., more accurate and stable damage. If you're skilled enough to get those headshots with hipfire, you'll benefit enough from the extra stability and accuracy that you won't need the extra damage to wreck people with the weapon.
