The title pretty much sums this up and I'm writing as a person using the weapon and having the weapon used against me.
The thunderlord needs a buff... I have absolutely no trouble shutting down someone using it with a simple handcannon. I mean it is a heavy weapon and it feels as though it is a glorified auto rifle at this point.
From a user's stand point, the flinch on this weapon is unnecessary... you shouldn't be punished for using a heavy weapon... I think less heavy spawns would be a nice change as we don't require it for shotguns and snipers anymore. The d1 heavy system was great, if you wanted heavy you had to fight for it now it feels too rewarding which is why I feel weapons like this are suffering.
Therefore I am suggesting a 30% damage increase in PvP, a recoil rework on the weapon, less heavy spawns, and a nerf to nova warps blast radius/time length/tankiness... take your pick lol just kidding... or am I...👀
I hope in future the TTK of these weapons is lowered to the 3 shot head shot we all know and love from destiny 1.

Aztecross actually did some testing, apparently it does need a buff. In D1 PvP, it did 61 to the head and like 30ish to the body. In D2 PvP, it does roughly 42 to the head and 30ish to the body.
