Thorn is a Crutch

I know all the Thorn babies are gonna get bent out of shape about this but overall, it takes little skill to kill in PvP with this thing. Before all the kids go "You're just jealous cause you don't have it", check yourself m8. I do have it and I prefer not to use it cause I'd like to have some sort of integrity. If the burn was shortened, the RoF was lowered just a bit and the mag size was returned to 6, the gun wouldn't be any more broken than any other gun. Who here is tired of the Green Sh*t Shooter? :D EDIT: I love how the kids in opposition don't counter my argument by stating that Thorn is not overpowered xD EDIT: I personally did not expect so many replies :O from the comments that I've seen, the general nerf wanted is: •slower rate of fire •decrease range •have burn stop when user gets killed •decrease time of burn Also I love seeing the arguments against me saying that I should do certain things and fighting thorn becomes a cake walk. I know how to play peoples, had the game since week 2 xD just saying there are little working tactics against a team with 4+ Thorns (basically every IB game right now)

    • Shotguns are far more of a problem than thorn or tlw. Their range ruins game play.

    • I've had Thorn for 8 months and I really try and not use it. It definitely is a bit op. TLW is awesome for small maps and fights but no good at long range(well sometimes lol). I only resort to Thorn when I'm in rage mode followed by aggressive t-bagging!

    • Dude. Let's be honest. It's not "hard" to complete any bounty. Just because you did the thorn bounty doesn't make the weapon worth the BS. On the other hand I wipe the floor with Thorn users because Last Word is way freaking better. Even thus, thorn sucks on Trials. I don't care about Iron Banner cuz I'll respawn immediately and hunt you down with blink or shoulder charge. But in Trials, where tge pressure is on and the best players on your friends list are yelling to do certain things, you can't just play the vendetta game, and often times it's a one or two death max for players, and losing even one match screws you for the Mercury trip. Thorn is definitely OP. No one should die from that after they've killed the thorn user. Grenades are different because every class has grenades that last forever to achieve a postmortem. AND the grenades are pretty visible so you're an idiot if yiu walk into one and die. Agreed? Nerf thorn. Either make damage + burn equal to the total damage of last word, or give some sort of armor that protects against it, but only from Crucible master, and you have to spend etheric light on it. That sounds fair.

      • 2 hit kill is op no matter how. Ok hawkmoon has a chance for a 2 or even 1 hit but it is a chance. Unless you crouch when hit. Thorn is nearly always a 2 hit kill

        • Thorn is an exotic. Exotics are SUPPOSED to be a little OP and since hand cannons are already the top tier weapon class, thorn is the at the top of the top. So in other words thorn is exactly where it should be. This doesn't mean you have to like it, but it's not changing and posting innumerable complaints in the forums won't help

            The real crutch is the mytho. If you use it in regular crucible or trials I have no respect for you. Iron banner is understandable to a degree but most of these scrubs live off of it because they can't use a real gun

              • If they ever stupidly nerf thorn everybody will just switch to a new weapon and people will cry for that weapon to be nerfed. And so on until all weapons are useless and too similar to each other

              • I also have thorn and yeah I agree. The range on it and last word is bull. The time to kill is too High and thorn makes the recovery time too low. Which Is a horrible combination for any thought out play in this game.

              • [quote]EDIT: I personally did not expect so many replies :O from the comments that I've seen, the general nerf wanted is: •slower rate of fire •decrease range •have burn stop when user gets killed •decrease time of burn[/quote] Ok so thats pretty much going to destroy the thorn.. then what will you and all the other cry babies begin to think is OP? You cant please everyone there will always be people who arent happy about something and thats one of the biggest flaws with this community... "WAAAHHHHH I WANT MORE CONTENT" gets more content* " WAHHHH THIS CONTENT ISNT ENOUGH".... "WAAAHHHHH I CANT GET FLAWLESS I CANT GET TO MERCURY I QUIT IT SHOULD BE FOR EVERYONE WAHHHHHHHHH" As far as i can tell on xbox one you got 3 main guns and they are Thorn, Red death and TLW and if people have skill with the weapon they use they got just as much chance of out gunning me as i do to them with my thorn. When i started using fusion rifles to get the thorn bounty i was getting killed so often i was running out and charging then trying to shoot, i soon learn that i should try predict where people are and learn my charge rates to get more kills, now this applies to every gun. if i find myself getting killed by shotguns in close quarter combat i just dont put myself in that position and its the same with the thorn because even though i use thorn i still have to kill people who use the thorn as well. If someone wants to stand out in the open while i duck in and out of cover shooting them with my thorn well whos fault is that? i play to the game type of the guns i use, you wont find me rushing close quarter combat with a sniper because thats -blam!-ing stupid you also wont find me hiding close quarters with a thorn because ill get rekt by the felwinters sniper or TLW. I dont cry about shit being OP because i also have access to all those OP weapons just like everyone else does, if i use the thorn thers a 100% chance someone else on the other team will also be using it but its apart of the game and i accept that and play the game for what it is rather then what individual people want it to be.

                • Thorn and shotgun combo as pussy as it is, it's guaranteed to give you fast easy kills. That's why people use it. Just stating the obvious.. It's my job you know! #SnipersAreLife
