Not looking forward to having to deal with people running around with the "Hawkmoon" handcannon in PvP too; it's already annoying how often you have to face off against people running around with the "Thorn", "The Last Word", and "Red Death". I actually wish they'd simply prevent Exotics from being used in standard Crucible matches because these weapons fuck-up the gun-play balance too much IMO; especially, "Thorn". Anyways, just my thoughts.

Thorn definitely seems a bit OP. I haven't any experience with TLW.
I really like Red Death, but I don't think it's particularly OP. You still have to get a headshot for a two burst kill and if you go three bursts it's not a particularly fast TTK, and it definitely has a range niche. Even the healing effect is of somewhat limited use because it's delayed. Now if the healing happened immediately that would be OP as fuck. But as is with the delay it just shaves some time off your natural recovery. You still have to not die until it kicks in, which means you aren't going to just wade in and mow down an entire team.
Hawkmoon is pretty powerful too, but I don't feel it's as much an issue as Thorn either. It may feel that way on the receiving end when you get nailed with a 2HK, but the fact is that it's terribly inconsistent. You can't count on the luck to fall in your favor unless you've carefully watched the damage of your first few shots and don't reload when you know you've got higher damage bullets left. That's kind of a pain, at least in IB or ToO where weapons don't do consistent damage due to level ranges, and defense stats on armor.
Not saying there aren't issues, just that I think Thorn is the bigger one. Although I personally struggle with it. heh

Why have Hawkmoon when you can have Thorn?

Thorn definitely seems a bit OP. I haven't any experience with TLW. TLW > Thorn on maps like Thieves' Den. You can make your Thorn wielding opponents flinch pretty badly and win the gunfight. You use LTW with a sniper rifle, while Thorn is best coupled with a shotgun. A no exotic playlist would be interesting though but I expect that to be dominated by Trials gear so I'm not sure how much variety there is going to be. If I had all the Trials guns my loadout would be: The Messenger, Praedyth's Revenge and Tomorrow's Answer. If I wanted to use a shotgun I can use my Secret Handshake, which is not as uncommon as many people would think in Trials.

Maybe a no exotic, no supers playlist would be interesting. I don't think I would play it, because it sounds kinda dull. But I know it would appeal to a lot of players that just would rather the game focused more on gun skill.
You could also ban grenades but I don't think they are OP, especially without exotics. Grenades fill an important niche the the combat sandbox.
