Got an insane 1 v 3 clutch this week on trials, using red death and LDR against a team of thorns. Had a total of 9 kills in one round!
Check it out and let me know what you think

Well done. Cheers!

It's the YIN AND YANG of weapons, however I can't stand the handling of the Red Death... It feels too old fashioned to me. Funny how something like that prevents me from liking a weapon.

I commend you my red death brother. Red Death has been my favorite PVP tool (aside from the Suros when it was viable in PVP) from the start, but I want it to be something again I can use out of choice, not because its the only outright shield against the pain known as thorn. I had my own experiences with red death against thorn users, but part of it was because well, being a defender, getting an overshield and popping ward with blessing of light (and weaving in and out of the ward to reset the shield) was really the best way to counter abundant thorn users. Its almost like the red death was created just for this occasion. But in truth, if the Suros came back, it would also be a counter (on chance) of healing while just hitting the thorn user, kinda an even trade. Red Death is the only counter to thorn, unless you go with another thorn, the last word, or just try for a quick shotgun or far off sniper kill. Thorn will be nerfed in time, likewise Red Death will as well, but the only thing I care about is that my weapon is still viable and able to kill on average with many others. Things need to be like they were when Suros had gotten 2 accuracy nerfs, but was still usable and allowed the field to be spread with many others including vanqiusher, shadow price, Red Death, Bad Juju, the last word, Mida, Vision of confluence, a couple other legendaries (such as Vault and Crotas end main weapons and otherwise RNG legendaries) otherwise yes, even thorn was viable at the time after the second Suros accuracy nerf. We need varity, even if there is a most used weapon, things like the suros were still outright beatable and manageable. It was popular, but not broken to the point thorn is. Thorn and last word are the worst offenders, but for thorn, that range and accuracy needs to be cut back, no handcannon, not even exotic should have such a range it does, that range shouldnt even be beyond 40% of the whole meter, that should be its limit. LIkewise stability, it needs to have a kick, a pacing shot that deals high damage but long as you nail someone, the burn can do some more damage as you line up another. Thorn needs to be nerfed, heavily, but still usable in the case we need many weapons to be usable and viable.
