The Last Word has emerged as a gigantic problem in crucible once more thanks to the handcannon buff. It is operating at mid range while ADS rendering auto rifles completely worthless and making game modes such as rumble essentially one gun modes if you want to compete. Bungie has shown they have trouble balancing around this one particular gun many times, when it was in control recently it caused nearly every other handcannon to be worthless via the weapon class nerf.
What should be done is this- The Last Word needs to lose the ability to ADS completely. It will then be the close range weapon it was meant to be without insane power outside it's intended range and it will no longer threaten the handcannon class as a whole with nerfs.
Edit #1. To the many attempting to defend The Last Word, just stop for a moment and think. If it keeps performing like it is there will be a handcannon class nerf again. The result will be that it will be balanced once more while all other handcannons are mediocre to unusable.
Edit#2. There are truly an amazing amount of people rushing in with mindless, off the wall insults. So many can provide no argument. We all know TLW is operating outside it's intended range. Try to deflect or just deny the facts. Remember, if the last word isn't dealt with it will destroy the entire handcannon class once more.

I rarely ADS anyway since I use it with a sniper Long to mid range = sniper Short range = last word

4 RepliesI just got my first one ever, is it good in crucible?

3 Repliesit just needs a fire rate debuff when ADSing, pushing its time to kill when adsing from .8 seconds on body shots to .8 seconds on headshots only. keep the rest, it wills till be awesome in close range, and serviceable in comparison to all other handcannons at its medium range, wich will be shorter then a lot of other handcannons.

1 ReplyI think it performs as intended.

2 RepliesMid range? Did they Boost range? Last time I ads a last word, I did a 19 damage headshot at about 30 feet.

I loled

I don't play with TLW because I think I'm good at using it ( I do much better with pulses and scouts), it's just extremely fun to use
-
Or just remove full auto...... I mean full auto on a hand cannon? Did no one see this coming?

3 RepliesIf they were to remove ads completely, they would need to give it a huge increase to hipfire accuracy. Can't hit the side of a barn with that shit

Wow, someone complaining about a gun that's already been nerfed. Doesn't get much lower than this. Next stop hell. Imma get outta this convo see ya later fellas

1 ReplyJust disable fanfire when adsing.

I agree all of a sudden the last word is OP over night.

TLW only hits at medium range while ADS if you fire slowly enough that its TTK is longer than a weapon meant for that range. The fact that you are losing to TLW at this distance means you are bad.
-
If you take away ADS it still gets the damage buff which is how it is killing so fast..... [spoiler]come back when you actually use the gun yourself[/spoiler]

Let's go back to making exotics hard to achieve.. Then every ahole in the game won't have it. This is what happened to the mythoclast. It was op. But if everyone didn't just cheese atheon on hard it wouldn't have been a problem until months later.

Hoooooly fúcking shit... Here we go again. For the love of god STFU about guns killing you! " Oh my god nerf everything with bullets! I want this game to be a big pillow fight!" It's no wonder Viva Piñata got a better score than this game... Look at the people who play it...

4 Replies>Says balance >Wants to strip it of a core gameplay element (Unless you are like me and use Hipfire only anyway, then its not a big change). I dont think thats balancing, that is downright grinding it into dust and making it less of a primary, and more of a special weapon.
