You guys understand pvp. Does it need a nerf? Below 2.0 opinions will be discarded.
edit: please explain your opinion one way or the other. "Yes" is not an effective answer and will not sway any opinions.
Edit 2: I don't have a 2.0. That is why I'm asking for the opinions of my superiors. I'm asking better players with good reason. These guys understand traffic routes, map control, and are always landing headshots. They simply understand the game on a higher level than 98% of the player base and therefore I give their opinion more weight. I'm tired of seeing "NERF THORN" posts coming from some child with a 0.4. That kid can barely play the game, he knows nothing of it.
Edit 3: Here's my opinion, which should be discarded: if thorn gets nerfed tlw will be op. If tlw gets nerfed red death will be op. If red death gets nerfed someone might take a legendary primary into the crucible and exotics won't be exotics.

No. Thorn is fine the way it is. The problem isn't the balance of one weapon but the balance of the other weapons that cannot compete. We should be advocating a "soft nerf" of hand cannons by buffing auto rifles. Leave hand cannons and buff auto rifles back to where they were.

4 通の返信I think talking to ppl with KDs over 1.5 would be better. Chances are, ppl with over 2.0 KDs have most likely used Thorn a good amount.

I'm a 1.9 so bare with me. Thorn needs a tiny Nerf. Small. Too much and it's useless. But, when you consistently run into teams ALL using thorn it becomes a problem. One of two things can be done. Slightly reduced the impact of a headshot only, body shots are solid damage, but when you lose 90% of your health from two shots, well, there's no coming back from that. Essentially make it to where they'll need to add in at least a body shot to the headshots to bring you low enough for the poison to hit home. Secondly. Make the poison last 1 second less than it already does. I almost feel like it's a Viking funeral perk that's attached to it. It's not much but it grants a fighting chance. Remember, this is either or. Both is too much, but none is too little.

3 通の返信I'm not sure how to look my k/d, I think it's okay the way it is. Because I suck at using Thorn. If others are good at it, more power to them. For this week's IB, I think I'm doing ok with my Vex.

3 通の返信Yes. Everyone gets the idea that thorn won't be exotic if nerfed. In pve no matter what, the dot is HUGE there. They buffed that remember.

2 通の返信Its the best. Tlw is just a bit better close range. Use thorn for best chance of success. I like the idea of the dot not being able to kill just weaken. Sounds much more reasonable.

3 通の返信I have a 2.24Kd in Pvp, I personably use thorn because it actually kinda OP,... But Sometimes I'm able to outgunned Thorn users with my last word, so it all depends on How u aim.

3 通の返信OldManJenkinsにより編集済み: 6/8/2015 4:41:02 PMK/D doesnt matter at all in a game where there are like 30 ways of insta-killing at the press of a button. Someone could be very good but the K/D doesnt reflect it because they cant control people panic supering them.

Awesome JZにより編集済み: 6/8/2015 4:50:48 PMI only have a measly 1.43 k/d, but here are my 1.43 cents. To start off, Yes I do use thorn from time to time in PvP, but I try to stay away from it in regular events such as control and clash. It is a powerful gun, and a little tweaking could appease the masses. I believe that the damage over time should end if the wielder dies, it's damage drop off should be a little bit more going into the farther ranges. If you are still a bit skeptical on its range, chance the snapshot perk from the middle tree to flared magwell and put the thorn's reload back to its original version. Then people would have to decide between pumping out more bullets, better stability, or more range.
