To all those 'thorn is not OP' posts.
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.

The problem with Thorn, and possibly other HCs, is the range. The range needs a nerf. Not the damage or DoT. Just the range. Hand cannons are not supposed to be long range weapons. The other day I was doing IB on Twilight Gap. Enemy Titan sitting on Control Point B. I'm coming from Point C and sitting near the Heavy Spawn on that platform. I switch to my LDR 5001 with APR and Final Round. I begin to line up my shot when he fires off his Thorn. Now it's possible hit me multiple times but I only registered one hit which nearly kills me due to DoT. I hide, let my health return, and move back out. He catches me again with Thorn and again I nearly die from seemingly one shot. I again hide to replenish my health. I peek out again and this time he's turned away from me. An easy headshot for the kill. My point in writing that is to illustrate what I feel is the problem with Thorn. I remember thinking when I first saw that Titan that there was no way he could get me unless he was rocking a sniper too. After that first exchange, I remember thinking to myself that no gun, save for a sniper, could do that much damage at that range. Maybe a Scout or Suros in its hey day.
