You use Thorn and you think you're skilled. Why?

Lets see what other people think... SELF REZ COMPLETE

1 ReplyI do not use weapons that hamper my own ability to win In a competitive multiplayer game to impress the likes of you. I use what I want to win, and to kick your ass. End of story.

9 RepliesEdited by Apex of War: 8/17/2015 1:51:45 PMI detest Thorn. I used to love it. Seriously. Even when it 'sucked' and even during it's ninja nerf. It was my first exotic, 15k kills with it, 99% of that was before Spring time. Then around March/April, everyone jumped on the damn bandwagon and now I can't stand to use the weapon. It ruined it for me. NLB is my new love. And TLW. I don't count TLW kills as 'skilled', but I admit, it makes you feel like a badass.

You can still have good map knowledge/strategy while using thorn and be skilled.

5 RepliesI'd rather be Thorned than killed by blink shotty.

If I pop you 3 times in the head, yes.

I use it when I'm either mad or feeling very sweaty that day. Other days I use messenger.

1 ReplyI got Thorn yesterday and, believe it or not, I did not become a PvP God overnight!! Strange that ...
-
*reads title* *remembers using thorn as main for a few weeks after completing bounty* *agrees it takes no skill to use*
-
Thorn doesn't make you skilled, it means you know what the Meta is and you picked what works. That's called playing smart, yes we are all sick of the meta, we've got a few weeks to go, hang in there. After patch, still expect that good players will still win over bad players and your KD might not change (~.•)
-
Because I smack you every time with it and instead of doing something about it, you just cry "OP" and "no skill". If I have no skill and I still smack you, what does that make you?
-
Because im winning... Isnt that all there is to game skill?
-
I used it right after the buff #hipster

36 RepliesEdited by TheArtist: 8/17/2015 1:58:37 PMBecause: 1. I earned the right to use it, by legitimately completing the bounty. Soloed the Xyor strike.....twice. Completed the PvP part using Atheon's Epilogue as my primary.....twice. After auto-rifle nerf.....ONCE (that was painful enough). 2. The gun doesn't aim itself. 3. The gun does't fire itself. 4. The gun doesn't position itself on the map in a Crucible map. 5. I use it like a regular hand-cannon. The only time I rely on the burn is to either: a. Break up team shooters. b. Harrass snipers c. Finish off someone I nearly beat in a 1v1. (Love the Post-mortems....)

Don't hate the players, hate the game.

Messenger and Hopscotch are more OP. Maybe up close not as much, but mid to long range definitely.

3 RepliesI haven't used Thorn since I got TLW. And even then I still prefer not to use either because it's so cheap and honestly boring how they just make kills a cakewalk. I only really use TLW now for the handcannon bounty, Trials if I need to, or when the number of Thorns/TLWs on the other team is overwhelming my team. I prefer using Red Death, MIDA, VoC, The Messenger, Super Pox VLO, etc. I also very rarely use shotguns. I generally carry a sniper. Blink shotgunners are just as bad, if not worse, than people that only use Thorn/TLW.

5 RepliesI earned the weapon I can do whatever I want with it :)

2 RepliesGetting thorn is harder than using it

3 RepliesEdited by Deluxe Nachos: 8/17/2015 1:28:00 PMIf you're trying to do something like go flawless, and you aren't using an exotic hand cannon then you're just handicapping yourself against others in this current meta
-
Any exotic hand cannon for that matter.. There are other primaries to use like for instance messenger, I have noticed more people using fatebringers in crucible lately, and medium rof scout rifles.
-
I hate getting killed with it but I'd never assume the person was rubbish.

17 RepliesYou people act like you don't have to aim if you have thorn. What do you just run around with an auto rifle spaying hoping you hit someone? Yes thorn is OP. But you still have to aim and its no easier than any other weapon, it just does better damage. Here's a hint don't stand still and don't keep running in to be team shot.
