This is only for those who have made it to the lighthouse. I'm curious as to what weapon you chose for your primary. This is an experiment I'm running, and I need the feedback of the top players. Please bump to keep votes coming.
Hypothesis: the best PvP players (those who made it to the lighthouse) will have collectively used a variety of weapons. The majority will not be skewed towards thorn or the last word or the usual weapons that people find to be OP.
Well at this point, it seems my hypothesis has failed to hold up. 45% of players use thorn or the last word, as opposed to every other weapon in the game. Not to mention the 8% with Vex, which I think is [b]FAR[/b] more OP than Thorn or TLW (I just run away when I see someone with vex. I'm surprised at the lack of MIDAs really. It wasn't until I switch from Thorn to the MIDA that I started having a positive K/D. It allows you to easily sidestep those dangerous thorn headshots, and force them into settling on body shots, and by that time they've ready been outgunned.

It's all about the tactics... Personally I dont like thorn its aim isn't true in my experience... I use last word if I'm rushing or as for this week I'm using vex for midrange play because the map is more open... But the tactics are what win me and my team the games... Making sure you have a flanker is important... Callouts are important... Getting to the dead orbs before revives can be made is important... The guns are just one tool of many to ensure a win.
