You should try a crit focus build. You will still need more than 1 headshot for heavy stuff but the Latron shouldn't be the one bringing status procs and every bullet counts ;)

When defending, if you can headshot a couple of priority targets, regardless of their positioning, in a blink then nothing will beat this gun.

When attacking, If you can pull off at least some headshots on the run at mid range this is still the best pick.

The "problem" as you say (the main appeal for me) is that this weapons reflects 100% your ability to pick target and aim quickly.

Another important thing is to know when it's better to save ammo (reloading takes a bit) and let your team mates dispatch the cannon fodder.

If 3-4 heavies pop up and you're caught with your pants down because you just emptied your magazine on small fries, you're in trouble.

Especially if everyone else in the team only has stuff like Soma Prime, you're gonna take a lot more damage from the high threats that are left alone shooting for those extra seconds.

A good trick is using warframe abilities that don't interrupt the reload.

Oberon's Smite is a good example since it knocks down one target and provides a bit of extra CC from procs, so you are still providing covering fire even while reloading.
