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.

    If you ask me, Thorn is a popular choice for Trials because of the nature of the Elimination game type. Players are being more cautious, they won't often be engaging you openly unless they are forced to. So there is a lot of taking shots and ducking back into cover, the Thorn's DoT can still kill someone who has retreated back to cover. Now if Thorn had lower range, like TLW, then it might be a different story. But it hits just as hard at medium-long range as it does up close.
