I would love it if they made FR's a viable PvP option again - I loved rocking FR's. Learning how to feather the charge, and fire while taking corners was fun as hell. ;-)
Alas, this is why the forum nerf bunnies are a problem. They saw the mid-range beastiness of an FR as a problem when they were trying to be cool and slide with their shotties. [i]"It's not fair!"[/i] they would scream. [i]"I was sliding like a boss and he still killed me!"[/i] they cried, with their salty tears steadily streaming down their face.
And what did Bungie do? They cut the balls off of nearly every FR in the game, with the Vex being the exception until recently. Now all you have is 99% shotguns running the maps, even on sniping maps like Shores of Time.
What really needs to happen is the nerf bunnies need to shut the hell up and learn how to play the game instead of running to mommy Bungie whenever a gun kills them in PvP. Their whining is why the Thorn is the PvP gun of choice, and if that gets nerfed, then it will merely be another gun they go off crying about (my guess is Red Death). These crucibabies will not be happy with PvP, so Bungie should just stop pandering to them.

Everything u say is ...the Truth! Amen

i still use fr's they are awesome, many times its me against shot guns, i always win. but i think fr could be better

The spread on the gun is crazy now, mix that with the range being nerfed significantly. They use to be decent at mid range - now you need to be within a few meters, and will be dead with something like a felwinter's before you can charge the damn thing.

@empath1cmim1c . they nerfed the fire rate on shot guns, that and the range saves me from dying, as for the thorn, i still want one but i kill alot of players who have them . lol

Edited by KINGshadowIX: 6/9/2015 4:17:06 PMRed death is the counter for thorn. However all these kids either don't got it, or just want the most used exotic to be trash just to get their k/D's up
