I'm not so sure the nerf was what it needed. It was overused because of the play style that most people like which is sniping secondary and swapping to last word for close range. Not because it was OP. It used to be able to handle close 1v1 encounters and now it loses most of the time.. If it's not missing every shot it does insignificant damage and Doctrine can melt at almost any close to mid range engagement.
I'm not sure where Bungie gets their data from or how they calculate "what needs nerfed/buffed" but they may need to rethink things.
It is almost unusable and now I have to go to doctrine or hawkmoon since those two guns are the only two you can use and be competitive.
I'm not crying or complaining just simply confused. I hope in not the only one.

1 ReplyThey didn't go off data for the last word nerf. Weisnewski's dumb ass even said it was because some people got "too good" at firing from the hip. So because a small amount of the gaming population actually got good with the weapon, they decided to end its viability in the game. It's complete shit now. So exhausting....so tired of them taking shit away because slot of people use it. There are so many factors that lead to the use or over-use of a weapon, but instead of looking at things like map-size, skill, other weapon viability, they do the only thing they know how to do....NERF IT.b basically take it out of the game until a later update. So goodbye for now last word, you were super fun to use in pvp and pve, but Jon killed you. Maybe next dlc I'll get to dust you off and stick it up Jons ass again.

Sad luck my man. I feel you (don't count my Hawkmoon kills as I use it 60% in PvE and 40% PvP) The Last Word is an utter piece of shit disappointed already. Almost any other CqC legendary can outgun it‚ even ADS is way better now with this gun which is unintended for the guns goal that was meant for Hip-Firing and that was meant to melt you at CqC combat

4 RepliesI completely agree. They said in the steam the reason for taking away its bonus damage was because players got too good at consistently getting two shot kills. But in fact it's Like realkraftyy said. If you were consistently getting 2 shot kills with last word hip fire then you're a god and deserve those kills. Realkraftyy is one of the best players out there and he even said he'd rarely rarely get those. I personally would also rarely get them and I used last word extensively. Nor have I ever seen anyone able to do that. Taking away its bonus damage makes guns exotic perk no longer useful. No one hip fires now. It's extremely hard to get hip fire headshots so the reduced chance of headshots is not worth the better stability and range or what ever. They completely -blam!-ed up the nerf. Maybe they should have just decreased damage to where it couldn't 2 shot instead of completely remove it???

7 Replieslol im laughing at the fact that bungie said they didn't know how to fix sunsingers and other weapons

It has nothing to do with the playstyle last word and sniper it had to do with playing aggressively in which everyone likes to sit back and camp. I like playing aggressively I miss my combo last word and ironwreath.

10 RepliesLast word used to easily 2 shot people. That didn't seem op to you compared to the other guns in the game? Its an auto fire hand cannon with lots of damage and range and you didn't think it was op? Seriously???

1 ReplyLet me just explain I used to be good with last word but I just got done using it a few games and I did horrible! They ruined the gun and let me tell you why. A shotgunner came running at me and I lit his arse up! And he got off 2 shots and killed me. Shotgunner a should not be able to run through the open and kill me from the distance he started at. Broken! I tried both fan fire and accurate slow shots. Nothing worked. I dismantled the gun.

4 RepliesThe Last Word is bad now they have nerfed it to the extent Hawkmoon I thought would be good instead it still sucks MIDA is still META Nothing has seemed to change really Flame Shield is still OP Fire bolts are still OP I thought they were giving Sunsingers a nerf but they only seemed to lower the amount of time the Flames shields lasted Instead they.... Nerfed revives Nerfed special ammo Nerfed Thorn and Icebreaker and they are not in Year 2 They could have done things that only make things harder on all of us and don't even try to Balance PVP a little more BUNGIE realize the unbalance in PVP with the OP Sunsingers

Yes a full auto hand cannon is definitely not OP at all
