Why would you ever take TLW over Deadman's? Deadman's outclasses it in range and it outclasses it in aim assist. It's also very likely to win against duels against TLW even when all the conditions are in TLWs favor "but TLW has the highest TTK out there". Bungo nerfed TLW by making its recoil very jarring especially when you're chain firing shots. The chances of you actually hitting anything with the full 220 RPM Auto spam is almost impossible, your opponent would have to be moving into your recoil frames for that TTK. This causes TLW to lose it's biggest advantage, TTK. To hit shots properly and smoothly TLW is fired around 180-200 RPM, but this lowers it though to Deadman's TTK levels. Deadman's now has godly aim assist and stability, less damage fall off, and is able to fire off more shots than TLW. It outclasses TLW in it's own area whenever it's a -blam- ing scout rifle. So what you can take away from this is Deadman's is OP and everyone knows it's going to be NF, pre nerf Lord of Wolves, or pre nerfed TLW levels of broken in competitive PvP next season with it's main counter being nerfed. If you deny that DMT doesn't need to be nerf good chances are that you use it in crucible and you don't want it to be nerfed
