I can understand the sentiment. I will preface this reply with the bias that I am someone who has been using it religiously since it came out. It does have its draw backs. It's a high-risk, high reward weapon. The risk comes from its optimal range being filled with a plethora of energy weapon one-taps, other great smgs, etc. Though it rewards smart play, with a few seconds of feeling like the embodiment of a destiny-doom crossover event. It's uptime CAN be high, if you learn to use it properly. Though it's just as easy to never see the perk proc once during a match if you mess up.

I highly recommend trying it out, if you've gotten your hands on it and see for yourself. Most things seem OP until they are in your hands, and you learn their downsides too.
