Now I know this is a hot button topic right now, some say it's OP, some say it isn't, whatever. I have come up with an idea I hope you all might be able to think about, that nobody ever mentions.
The thorn should have slower bullet travel velocity. It's the only gun in the game that shoots giant thorn bullets, everything else some sort of colored plasma and or presumably bullets. This would create drag against the gigantic and less aerodynamic thorn shot.
If we reduce the speed of the bullet it would cause people to need to lead their shot on it and adjust for moving opponents instead of just instant hits while spamming the trigger.
This is instead of nerfing the poison to the point of uselessness or some other nonsense like nerfing it's range or RoF or something.
Edit: I didn't even mean this thread to be serious, I was just making a dumb troll thread, and somehow it sparked some actual decent conversation. Hm.

Edited by OldManJenkins: 5/13/2015 8:50:36 PMHere's my opinion, once House of Woofs comes out, we will be able to re-roll legendary weapons, eventually leading to most legendaries turning out better than most exotics and therefore balancing the game. That's the reason why the IB weapons have been OP, because everyone was able to re-roll their fellwinter until they got rangefinder or shot package. I can see it now, Red Hand XI, shadow price/vanquisher, crusader , PLUG ONE.1, THE SWARM, etc. are going to get some crazy rolls and become top shelf.
