[u]Persistence [/u]increases your accuracy with suppressive fire, allowing longer ranged combat by reducing the chance of phantom bullets. It has nothing to do with stability or recoil. LMG's kill so fast, however, that [i]this perk may not come into much effect at all.[/i]
[u]Battle Runner[/u] makes you fast after a kill.
[u]Life Leech[/u] heals you after a triple kill.
[b]Which of the above perks is best, compared to the others? Vote for your answer and leave your reasoning in the comments.[/b]
EDIT: Whoops, my description may influencing the poll. I added an extra sentence to explain why Persistence may not be the best choice.
EDIT: Crowd Control is purposely not in the poll. The LMG's I'm looking at don't get Crowd Control, and I'm too lazy to aim for the head anyway. Crowd control offers more damage to 4-shot high armor guardians in the body, and 3-shot people in the head (1 bodyshot allowed). This makes your kills [i]5 frames[/i] faster which is too situational IMO. LMG's are already the strongest with the best TTK's and smallest miss penalties and may need different perks to help things like their accuracy. Inaccurate weapons have trouble with headshots making CC less effective at range. Regardless, CC makes all the sense in the world on an LMG, since it's what they were born to do. Results may vary.

Counterbalance is easily one of the best possible perks, it will make recoil control insanely easy even if your stability bar is low.

I voted life leech to show it some love, however out of these battle runner or life leech are neck and neck. Battle runner gives you agility to find next kill, and for life leech usually after 3 kills you will be needing some health

Crowd control man wtf?

I vote for Battle Runner because mobility is more important to me. I don't spray machine gun rounds during PvP so Persistence does nothing. Life Leech/Life Support is a solid choice too though; it's a very close second.
