You guys always say its not the gun, but its the player's fault. I disagree. This gun can put the best crucible player to the ground with 2 headshots. This gun IS overpowered and you thorners just don't want it nerfed.
If you want to flame me for not being good in crucible, go ahead. Idc, my skill is higher than yours anyway. I still have to see an flamer with a higher kd here...
Edit: all these scrubs flaming don't want their thorn nerfed.... ;)
Edit: most of you guys could only whine about 'lucky' headshots, so i changed that.
Yet another Edit: i'm not saying that the thorn owns me, i outgun them 80% of the time. But that doesn't take away the fact that its too powerful. A simple stability or range nerf should suffice.
Again, Edit: wow how has this reached 500+ replies? I'm truly honored by all you flaming bastards who just keep flaming. For those who agree with me, thank you :)
Edit: going straight for the 1000 replies! Please keep flaming or replying! Thank you in advance, i am calling it the night for now.
Edit: just made the 1000 replies in [b]1 DAY[/b] thanks to all the flamers and other people! Really appreciate it!
Edit: Damn this post has been bashed on. The hate is real! I'm just putting down my opinion and some facts, get over it. Also, my skill actually has nothing to do with the stats of the thorn, its crazy right?
Edit: post just hit 1500+
Thats all. Nuff said.
Check out Tiny Baby Jesus's reply, it sums up the thorn.
-
I went 20-2 without a thorn
-
Vex can rek it. I dont even use thorn. Get better n stop crying
-
I've noticed high caliber rounds helps .-. So try using that
-
Hawkmoon kills faster. It's actually possible because of the luck in the chamber bonus to get a 1 hit kill headshot. Just saying. I've done it before. Not to say I'm good at crucible (cause I'm terrible) it's just that Hawkmoon is pretty bad ass. Nerf that shit now! Haha just kidding I don't care.
-
Thorn is a tad op. I don't think they should nerf the damage, just what time lingering damage kicks in. It's not the Thorn itself that kills me it's the DoT.
-
Mad because suros got nerfed? I don't use thorn but it's not op. Git gud. And iron banner destroyed your kd? How many games did you play for it to drop that bad
-
TLW kills faster than thorn. Also: if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. If it's that easy to use, it shouldn't be a problem to a pvpgod like you are (at least you act like one in your responses)
-
These forums need a nerf....every second post is someone whining about thorn. TLW kills quicker and is more "op" than thorn, red death kills just as fast as thorn, three little words as well, both kill in two bursts, short to medium range vex can beat thorn as well. Any weapon with high caliber rounds help too making it harder to aim. Imagine how good people could be at this game if all that time spent whining and crying for nerfs was spent learning how to counter these so called op weapons....
-
Mute and move on.

It truly is sad that all of you people just can't shut up about this or keep this to one thread instead of adding another to the probably hundreds on this topic. All this shit is is nerf it it's op rather than something actually constructive like a way to supposedly make it balanced. Like a way that won't make it shit in pve again and not just a way to supposedly balance it for pvp. All the people like you cried about Suros and all auto rifles are shit for the most part now aside from a very select few. There are plenty of other guns that kill just as fast or faster, the thing that makes it unique is if someone can land 2 headshots and die they are guaranteed a kill because of the dot. I personally have never seen such a pathetic community that can't just adapt instead of crying for nerfs, and yes it is very possible for people to adapt, most just simply aren't willing to.

It's the circle of Nerf. Written by Elton John for the movie The Nerf King.
-
I don't care if they do or not really I only use thorn red death or the vex because they killed my suros
-
This player has good stats and considers the Thorn to be imbalanced?!!! That is unheard of... Oh wait, no it's not.
-
Hawk moon has two lucky head shots not thorn.
-
I think everyone should accept that this game will always have a meta-game and rather than make posts about it they should just go with it because Bungie are going to make changes whether they complain or don't complain or complain about the complainers complaining. Look at the last primary weapon change for example. I don't remember seeing any posts about needing auto-rifles further but it happened. Bitches should just go with the flow.
-
My only complaint is the range. It out shoots an lmg at medium range and that is just not right
-
It's mag could be set back to 6.
-
2 "lucky" headshots from Hawkmoon kills too. Probably lots of other weapons also. Why single out thorn?
-
I don't like Thorn. I suck with Thorn. I did by Thorn a lot. I think it should be left alone (if it's going to reserve a nerf, make it a small one). The gun is an exotic. It's supposed to be overpowered.
-
It needs a nerf but I use one because you have to fight a thorn with a thorn
-
Two lucky headshots? That's a bit of an oxymoron. Thorn is not overpowered, and I'm a Last Word user. If you're constantly getting killed by Thorn, stop getting shot so much.
-
Small fire rate nerf and large ranges nerf.
-
Oh look, another thorn post. As if we haven't had enough already.
-
Bro then use Thorn. The hell are you bitching about? You have the SAME opportunity to use the same guns, but you don't. So I don't see the problem.
-
I don't get why people complaints about Thorn that require 2 precise head shots (not lucky as you said) and not about Hawkmoon that with 2 "lucky" (this time lucky is used properly) body shots can down an enemy really fast! At least with Thorn the players are obliged to be a bit skilled to use this gun as intended, with the Hawkmoon.......no!
-
All hand cannons need a nerf. Another nerf, that is.
