Lots of people say it is, but people still consider it a skillful weapon to use. I like to play competitively in normal crucible sometimes. Normally I am a fun player, but I never use thorn, however I know someone that does. He gets hate mail for it a lot calling him a sweaty. He says it isn't a sweaty weapon. Please post y'alls opinion on this regarding crucible in the comments please :) Edit: All comments must be respectful to peers please. Everyone has an opinion. Feel free to argue or converse about the subject, but not anything offensive or insulting. Thank you :)
