I love my ToM but by no means is that gun close to top tier in the crucible. Do I use it anyway? Hell yea I do! The looks, the sounds, and the overall feel of the weapon forces me to use it in just about every instance lol I'm not bragging but It takes a lot of skill AND some getting used to in order to be effective with it in PvP and PvE imo. Picking your battles; whether you're using your first 11 shots or your last bits of life, each encounter is a good thrill. You really shouldn't have to worry though as the majority of the community doesn't even have the gun and those that do think it sucks lol. I'm good with those odds if you ask me. I'll be having fun with my ToM :)
