From what I understand, the general consensus is that the 2htk headshots paired with the reach and fast windup are what makes it so hated at the moment.
To understand the downsides (mainly for duels), compare it to the longsword:
For the *stab* it has the same hits to kill (unless you're lucky enough to headshot twice), a worse turncap, worse recovery, only 25ms longer release and 50ms faster windup.
