I recently started using throwing weapons a lot. I have to say that as Nords playing a scout, going full throwing axes + shield is very effective. It has the power to murder horses/2h users like nothing else, you have a weapon for when caught in a melee, you are deadly at medium range, and you can pick up your/other players missed throws - all this makes up for the lack of accuracy.
Throwing weapons travel far slower than arrows, so you need to take care when facing a sidestepping opponent.
