What's the point of buffing scout and pulse rifles and nerfing auto rifles when the only gun that's worth using when it comes to PvP is a thorn. Mark of the devourer is the most overpowered perk in the game and using the Thorn takes no skill at all. All you need to get a kill with a Thorn is 3 body shots or two head shots no matter the distance. How about making keeping it a two headshot kill and instead of 3 body shots make it 4. The Hawkmoon which has outstanding impact and also gives 3 random bullets extra damage still doesn't have anything on a Thorn. In a regular crucible mode I don't mind being hit by a Thorn but this gun is being used by 90% of the players who compete in Iron Banner and Trials of Osiris which pay out big rewards. At this point i am forced to use a Thorn for my own defense. I just got a Monte Carlo last week and there's yes point in using it in any game mode you have to offer.
I copied a link of a random player of him/her using the Thorn ONLY.

Bearbeitet von Dose: 7/1/2015 2:21:10 PMShould Bugnie nerf the Thorn? [spoiler]Say Bungie nerfs the Thorn into oblivion. Mission accomplished, now everyone one can play crucible and complain about how Last Word, Red Death and the Messanger are over powered. But maybe that nerf pisses off some rebel army in North Africa or Middle East. Now the US is forced to respond and bombs a village of rebels killing fifteen hundred people you’ve never met, never had a problem with. Now the politicians are saying, "Oh, send in the Marines to secure the area" because they don't give a crap. It won't be their kid over there, getting shot. Just like it wasn't them when their number got called, because they were pulling a tour in the National Guard. It'll be some kid from the Destiny community taking shrapnel in the ass. And he comes back to find that the plant he used to work at got exported to the country he just got back from. And the guy who put the shrapnel in his ass got his old job, because he'll work for fifteen cents a day and no bathroom breaks. Meanwhile, he realizes the only reason he was over there in the first place was so we could install a government that would sell us oil at a good price. And, of course, the oil companies used the skirmish over there to scare up domestic oil prices. A cute little ancillary benefit for them, but it ain't helping my buddy at three-o-five a gallon. And they're taking their sweet time bringing the oil back, of course, and maybe even took the liberty of hiring an alcoholic skipper who likes to drink martinis and play slalom with the icebergs, and it ain't too long 'til he hits one, spills the oil and kills all the sea life in the North Atlantic. So now my buddy's out of work and he can't afford to drive, so he's got to walk to job interviews, which sucks because the shrapnel in his ass. And meanwhile he's starving, because every time he tries to get a bite to eat, the only blue plate special they're serving is North Atlantic scrod with Quaker State. So how do I feel about nerfing the Thorn? I figure -blam!- it, while we’re at it why not just shoot my buddy, take his job, give it to his sworn enemy, hike up gas prices, bomb a village, club a baby seal, hit the hash pipe and join the National Guard? I could be elected Community Manager! [/spoiler]
