Why do you take a Vanquisher into Gold matches?

Why not?

I don't. Someone needs to be the hipster and use all the trash guns. I figure, why not me?

I don't.

SO you can make a poll about it.

I don't.

When I take a vanquisher into gold, it is because of ok clip size + nice weak point multiplier + decent damage + acceptable accuracy + light weight (for a sniper rifle) + nice amount of spare ammo (for a sniper rifle). I do not think its reload speed is exceptional but you just have to live with that (and Vanquisher's reload speed + clip size is definitely better than an Ishray's).

But for some reason, I cannot find this option on the poll.

Because I use my Naladen.

Mister boombastic, semi-fantastic.

I want to change my answer

I don't. If I want to use a scope, then Shadow or Valiant. If I don't want to use a scope then Ushior. 

Yeah its a nice SR and i'd use it more often if it weren't for the huge latency problems off-host. Plus there's the enemies running faster than the speed of light problem and the duck and dive jive they do as soon as you have them in your crosshair means I usually need a couple more rounds in the clip. 

Back in ME3's MP my SR of choice was the Geth Sniper Rifle (the one that could shoot through cover and give you heat vision). Can't pull off accurate enough shots in ME:A's MP though. The game is jittery as hell off-host.
