This has somehow become a "controversial opinions about the Shuriken" thread. Well then.
OT: I used the Venom for the first time today, and while it's not my absolute favorite, I think it's pretty fun.
People that are good with the venom make the game mind bogglingly easy. That is indeed imo one of the real skill weapons in the game.
The Shuriken has objectively the worst stats in the game, bud. Now, skilled players rocking unlikely characters with unlikely guns have had success in platinum, but any player of similar skill with a better weapon is immediately going to outclass that Shuriken. Your situation is not one of a weapon being the exemplar for destruction; it only shows us that the other three guys probably just plain sucked.
The Scimitar is lucky it can hold the Shotgun Omni-Blade, which is its only redeeming quality. If not for that, I'd say Shuriken > Scimitar.
The talon as far as pistols go is my favorite.
-Native shield gate bypass
-Shield/Barrier Damage
-Good accuracy
-Scope turns it into a sniping shotgun
Heavy pistols in this game sound be renamed to pocket (insert weapon category here). You have pistols covering every kind of other weapon class. In the Talon's case it's one of the better shotguns of the game. Place a heavy barrel on it with a piercing mod and it just wrecks everything.
Yeah, this is kind of true. You have one of the best shotguns in the game (Talon), three of the better sniper rifles in the game (Paladin, Arc Pistol, and Executioner), and one of the better AR/SMG's in the game (Eagle).

My main complaint about it is that it glitches on ramps, which can be really annoying.

I've never been that good with it. I'm not sure if it was Hardcore Salmon or Heroic Mass that I remember playing matches with and just watched them wreck everything with it. I hardly got a kill.
Ramp problems? Wall ricochet!
The RNG continues to hide the Venom from me.....I'll get it.
If I'm not feeling like doing very much work I'll bust out the Harrier. Just point it vaguely at something's head and pull the trigger.
I keep hearing how the Talon is a magnificent beast of a weapon but mine clearly doesn't work properly. It is at VII now but no, still not impressing me.
Now the Arc pistol, that impresses me. Just requires aim is all and full charge of course. Even Praetorian notice head(s?)shots from that.
I haven't gotten the Venom yet either, I'm really curious about it. Tried the Acolyte pistol for the first time last night and pretty much hated it since I lack the patience for it. So far favourites are still Reegar and Claymore and third comes the Arc pistol.
I loathed the Acolyte at first... until I knew how to use it properly and revelled in its efficiency... you will get there too, believe me

I hope so, maybe it just takes some practice! It's the charging time for each shot I don't have the patience for lol, I just wanna be able to shoot right away, like bang bang bang!!! And down and then move on to the next!

I know... (I once even ragequitted a game when I first used it )

Haha I was about to do that too last night but then the others kept saying "it's almost over, don't quit!!" And poor Mexx kept reviving me, very sweet of him even though it must have been really annoying for him that I kept dying but I couldn't get the damn gun to work properly
What if after the Character Tournament ends, we do the Gun Tournament?

very good idea! Although me thinks that there won't be as many surprises... but let's find out ^^

the change for me came, when I used it again as a secondary... I had time to charge it up and then shot a Praetorian... the barrier was gone after just one shot (it was on Gold I think) and I was like WWOOOAAH!

Disciple is the king queen of weapons.

I have the Talon at X, and it still fails to impress me.
I don't hate it, and I'll often recommend it to people, but outside of Shield damage, it doesn't really shine, there's a dozen other guns I'd rather take.
I didn't use the Talon much at first and therefore didn't altogether care for it, then I slapped it on the AIU to complete points for Outsider Mastery, and it was a thing of beauty. I'm thinking about using it on the Fury once I give her another go. It's like a mini Wraith that you can mod for added power damage, so I'd really like to try it on some biotics.

Once you do get the Venom, try it on Drellguard or QME *with* incendiary ammo . It's just total destruction especially against mooks I may have a video of me playing Venom Drellguard that I haven't uploaded yet. If you're interested I can send it to ya to show you a bit of how I play
A good friend of mine would say that you can equip the Venom on any character but it takes a bit of practice imo xD

Why bother when we already know the result: glorious, objectively superior quarian weapons being downvoted by jealous peasants.

I hope I unlock it soon, now I really can't wait!
Definitely! I'd love to see that video and thank you for the tip
It's one of my fav guns in the game 
And Drellguard Venom is a class that I play when I feel like I need to destroy things and let out some steam without aiming for the head 
Alright, I'll PM you in a few days!

I really like the talon on the GE with APIV and the QFE with drill rounds. I finally unlocked the damn thing and have been using it on everything, but those two kits are my favorite.

Yes, is seems to fit seemlessly with the Drellguard. I guess it's peek-a-boo-friendly when I pop in and out of LoS while charging the gun.
