Thorn, TLW and (maybe) Vex are highest DPS in game. (Destiny)

Thorn especially - guaranteed kill on 3 shots, or 2 headshots, with no tradeoff like having to hip fire like TLW.

The worst part is the burn. Winning a tradeoff by shooting better than them (headshots where thru got bodyshots) only to then know they're still getting the kill despite being outgunned is horrible.

Potentially more so in Trials, where a kill trade often results in both teams trying to recover rather than push with even sides. But if the kill trade is a delayed one (even if by a second) they get that revive (and overshield) a second earlier, which can be fatal.
