The Last Word is ridiculous for PvP. The sheer power, rate of fire, range, and almost every other aspect of this weapon is beyond comprehension. The Last Word can beat basically every weapon category, at any range. The magazine would allow you to take out 3 people without reloading (if you're a decent/good player) when basically no other weapon can do that, short of a heavy machine gun.
This gun MUST have the nerfbat taken to it. I'm extremely tired of using something like Light of the Abyss, Found Verdict, or any other close range weapon, and getting beaten by The Last Word. The same goes for any weapon at range. Bad Juju, Atheon's Epilouge, and MANY other decent or good weapons will lose virtually every gun fight to The Last Word. I've even shot a rocket at long range and been sniped by The Last Word before the rocket killed them.

No, just no... I'm a CHRISTMAS NEWB!!! I don't even complain about getting but--blam!- by "OP" guns. Listen, I came into Destiny a few days after Christmas and SLAUGHTERED in the Crucible. It's not the gun that makes the difference, (albeit, unless you're gun is literal shite,) it's about finding your own unique play style and a gun that matches that play style. I HAVE TLW now, and I still get -blam!- by the Vex, Ghorn, Truth, MIDA, Invective, etc. Hell! Just yesterday 2 FRESH NEWBS at lvl 7 -blam!- me with pulse rifles 6 times in a row! If you can't hold your own in the Crucible, then stop crying and go do the friggin vanguard strikes!
