There's no way to deny it. The exotic hand cannons have a faster kill time than any other primary on crucible. Thorn can 2 shot, so can hawkmoon, and TLW has an insane RoF. It's gotten to a point where I just leave matches when someone is using a thorn. ToO is going to be filled with Thorns and Exotic Hand Cannons and it's not really going to be a test of skill of its a team with hand cannons vs. a team without hand cannons. If you think "just use a hand cannon," then you either a) don't know what damage inflation is, or b) think that everyone likes using hand cannons and that everybody likes the same weapons.
