Although Roadkill is generally better than Death Warrant in most situations, I wouldn't go as far to say that always is; it really depends on the context of the match. On certain maps Roadkill's amped-up special is more useful, and for others Death Warrant's better handling, weight, and durability wins out (especially on cramped maps like Skid or Gulch). For some, it comes down to personal preference. I've logged hundreds of hours as Death Warrant, as opposed to just a couple dozen in Roadkill, and I simply feel more comfortable in Death Warrant (as well as other vehicles that I've clocked substantial time in). Had I adopted Roadkill back in the early months, maybe I'd be a better player today However, that's in the past, and I've always enjoyed playing a vehicle that people considered to be underpowered anyways (prior to the health buff, that is).

Meatwagon is so damn good he's almost OP. I remember going 20-0 or 25-1 with that guy. The special is just too damn much.
Realistically, it's possible to beast in any vehicle if the circumstances are just right. A few days back I pulled off two back-to-back games in Sweet Tooth totaling 41-0 without transforming, regardless that I've spent less than four hours with the vehicle in ranked lobbies. It may sound impressive, but the fact was that the lobby was comprised totally of noobs (well, I think Mosh was there too, but I don't think he was trying anyways). It doesn't mean that Sweet Tooth is poverpowered by any means (especially without transforming), and stats rarely ever give a full picture of a game.
