50% of weapons used by winners in Trials was thorn. Bungie was quick to act when suros was the most used, what's with the holdup, Deej?
Heres the list to check for yourself. No land beyond was higher than Suros and someone won with Khovostov. Credit to SpiffyJr on Reddit, i found the image originally on Twitter.

Edit: this isn't a thorn cri post, i have one and use it here and there. This is a post attempting to bring light to the fact that the guns are horribly unbalanced in Destiny pvp. Im a sniper, please keep using shotties doesnt matter to me. However, fusions are terrible, shotties run crucible along with handcannons and everyone just wants to say "stop with the nerfs!!"

The hypocrisy is delicious.[/quote]
So basically 20% of people trying to do a bounty is unacceptable, but 50% of people using a gun is perfectly fine. LOL

6 OdpowiedziI find red death counters thorn very nicely.

3 OdpowiedziI use the multi tool. Not even thorn can beat me, yeah thorn is op but I'll still wreck anyone using it in trials or crucible. Add me if you need a team by the way (OnTheLow16)

4 OdpowiedziFusion rifles are NOT terrible. Plan C shreds any day of the week, and I rolled a give/take equation w/ rangefinder and charged coils which destroys also. You just need to actually aim with them now

Woo! 1.13%

Yeah most of the users can't survive without it

1 OdpowiedźI hope you know that those percentages include ALL weapons, not just primary. Now it looks even more pathetic..

1 OdpowiedźCan we not forget that thorn is an "exotic" hand cannon with a perk like hawkmoon has 3 lucky shots, and the auto rifle last word
-
3 Odpowiedzijust use red death it beats thorn all day

6 OdpowiedziThat reddit article is amazing, and pretty much sums up the argument. I do feel that the majority of the exotic primary weapons in this game would be mostly fine with a thorn / tlw fix and a slight buff to ARs.

1 OdpowiedźOnly scubs use thorn... End of story
-
2 OdpowiedziTbh i feel TLW is balanced, quick TTK up close and near immediate drop off due to its awful range. Thorn however can cross map in 2 shots LOL
-
9 OdpowiedziEasy fix, remove all exotic weapons from trials.

1 OdpowiedźBungie wasn't quick to act with Suros. After the Vex nerf, Suros took over. Months went by, then they decided to "balance" the weapons in February.
-
3 OdpowiedziThey wont change or fix this weapon.. Bungie employees use this weapon.. Its their fav, cause they can't get gud or catch a kill other wise. Its a scrub weapon. I still kill thorn users.. but in trials it has a bonus damage multiplier or some crap cause its killing way to fast. They need to remove all exotics from pvp and trials. I think all other weapons are balanced pretty fairly with legendary and uncommon weapons. But the messenger, that mofo is as bad as the vex in its prime. I wanted to get one before they nerf it. But its hard when your doing trials against thorn users and golden gun bastards. Can catch 5 wins.. but I play it legit and not cheat my way through it.

20 OdpowiedziGun is a monkey weapon. Anyone and everyone uses it for cheap kills. Put that gun back to a 3 dot and let's see how many of you no talent hacks pick it up again
