I really don't think having good damage is enough to overcome how bad the self damage is on this thing. If misjudging the distance doesn't get you, then the explosion delay will. Don't underestimate how much worse the delay makes this weapon. It significantly expands the possible time and distance where you can still die from shooting the weapon.

Some say it can be overcome with skill, but that never accounts for risk. And it also doesn't account for how unfun a playstyle is where you constantly have to shoot hestitantly, knowing that the greatest threat to you on the battlefield is your own damn weapon. Your weapon is supposed to be your best asset, not your greatest liability.

Also being unable to shoot enemies that are close to you is just bad in Warframe. Because the enemies close to you are the ones you need to kill the most.

And it's not really such a big "skill" to be forced into jumping and aim glinding above your enemies to just to avoid inadvertant Kamikaze instant self-kills.

Meanwhile, I hope everyone realizes that there are just other good Weapons in Warframe that aren't actively disadvantging you. Like what if I just used a weapon that is good, and doesn't kill me? wow

It's not the worst weapon or anything, but honestly I'd recommend to just dumpster this thing on principle until the usage stats are so low that they realize they need to change it next time one of their weapon rebalances happens.
