Thorn used by half of ToO
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

1 ReplyI think Elementary school and middle schools just got out for summer a week or 2 ago... So I'm not surprised by the sudden increase in thorns. :)

5 RepliesThis data is wrong. Everyone uses auto rifles in Crucible.

4 RepliesLast word beats thorn every day

Might have been why I had over 30 wins this week

Don't really ever use the thorn, but I have no problem killing everyone else who is. Don't think it needs a nerf, tbh.

1 ReplyThat statistic is inaccurate, since primaries and secondaries are both factored into it together (and you can use both at once), which makes thorns usage % a lot higher (unless the statistic is kills in ToO)
-
Wow no truth... That's insane.
-
Dat .01% using The Stranger's Rifle, tho... And, oh, the shame, being killed by the Khvostov...
-
Cause Deej is afraid of the scrubs who rely on it to win.

3 RepliesNerf thorn and red death with be 70 percent of trails. #stopcryingnerf

Thorn, TLW...and then 4 shotguns... Not surprised really, that is PVP in a nutshell right now.
-
Thorn is the most broken weapon I have ever played with/ against. Nerf it so the DOT cannot kill u and nerf the fire rate and range and it will be a little better
-
Thorn existed when everyone used Suros to death. The only difference between now and then, is auto rifles are underpowered and thorn has 3 extra bullets and faster reload.

6 RepliesTHERE IS NO INFO ON WHERE HE GOT HIS STATS FROM! Which means these numbers are simply made up and evidence of nothing. Think before you make up your mind people. Until he says where he got those numbers from they mean nothing

8 RepliesLets nerf all the guns in this game and lets complain skolas is to hard yay.
-
It's at 50% because people need it to do well
-
50% usage doesn't mean necessarily mean that it is OP...it could just mean that the DoT is just really useful in Trials. It makes them duck and hide while you can charge in for easy shotgun kill. I wins 90% of the time against Thorn with TLW in mid-range and half of those Thorn users can't 2 shot worth anything (I played a guy that missed me 5 times while I was reloading and then got gunned down by me). Lastly, with all these posts about how Thorn is OP...all the middle school kids start to "group think" and claim that it is OP...blah blah blah...Thorn is annoying...no doubt but how OP can it be when I win against it 90% of the time?

1 ReplyThorn is to op suros use to be op

2 RepliesThis is all just math and logic how can we possibly take you seriously?

3 RepliesSorry Thornbois, you can't have high alpha damage, high RoF, long range, and all of that scrubby Aim Assist - with DoT damage. One or two of those need to be rolled back. The baseline Aim Assist and Bullet Magnetism needs to be turned down for everything, if not killed. With Aim Assist perks on weapons themselves, it's just too much. Almost no need to aim, just snap up ADS and fire, let the AI do all of the heavy lifting. Buff Auto Rifles' critical damage. Low numbers on body shots is understandable on a Spray n' Pay weapon type, but Headshots should be heavily rewarded. Fusion Rifles need a flat 50% damage buff in PvP or an overall reduction in charge time.

71% exotic HC. Yup, def balances
