My point is, yes the weapon is powerful, but with skill and awareness it can be avoided. If someone is using it its pretty predictable after the first kill. The main issue I think is the same problem that ruins crucible. Stacked teams in chat vs unorganized solo players. The game punishes you for doing things on your own and has nothing implace to put stacked teams against stacked teams. It is a horrible design that ruins pvp. I don't mind being ganked by a sleeper, i mind when a team of 4 comes in waving their dick around and completely wastes 10 minutes of your time and when you think its over you get paired against them 3 or 4 more times until you quit for the night. My self and other players, which i firmly believe fall back on op weapons like this is because there's no hope for you to do anything else when your constantly getting thrashed by stacked teams(not saying there aren't stacked teams that abuse this weapon too). Change the format and people will be more comfortable branching out to other weapons. This forum is just full of people raging about the wrong thing. The Devs realized what the issue was in the first week of launch, the problem is people have a hard time admitting that there are guns out there that make it way easier to out play you with less skill. EP shotty, SS, and WotW. They'll introduce some new OP weapon buffs or weapons in the next few weeks or months and then we'll have that to drool over and complain about.
