Thorn is much better than every single weapon in pvp and if you believe in a balanced pvp you should want a nerf. If u don't tell me why. Please have well though out answers and no shit like 'git gud'. Be sensible Edit: please try be constructive. I want this to be a discussion not people crying and moaning everywhere Edit: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1L7FV9l4hXo2tHD3XlFUp854XvJIwTKFIPvASLduPPS4/htmlview?pli=1 Have a look at this

    I voted "other" because of a lot of reasons.. 1) Thorn was my first exotic. Pre-expansion. It was utter shit and easily in the top 5 worst guns in game. 2) I've looked at a majority of players crying thorn nerf.. Christmas noobs. This might not apply to anyone here, but point is they don't remember how bad it was, they just get mad when they get shot down on approach with their favorite shotguns. 3) Thorn is a LEGEND among exotics of lore. MORE SO THAN GJALLARHORN. Don't quote me here, and correct lore-wise if needed. Gjallarhorn was gifted to survivors of twilight gap, made from the armor of fallen lights.. I think the titans and hunters who held the line were wearing Alpha Lupi armor and it was crafted from that. Thorn however stopped the most legendary titan ever to grace the crucible, killed Pahanin (creator of super good advice) and apparently did so in the hands of the legendary dredgen Yor. I.E it's a badass looking gun with a badass history. It shouldn't be some pea shooter. 4) Thorn has never been more balanced in Rof-power and all the complaints AGREE with me because all they cry about is the burn, which, sorry, isn't going anywhere. Hawkmoon can out-damage thorn any day with its perks, and TLW will shred thorn users up close. If it wasn't for the burn a lot of people wouldn't even use the gun because it'd be just another vanilla hand cannon. 5) Some Legendary hand cannons easily outclass Thorn. Two of mine being Red Hand (insert Roman numerals here) and Loner.Rebel, but there's more including FateBringer, Devil you Know, and so on. So is an Exotic really "overpowered" if it can be out shot by a purple? No people. No. 6) All of you have your opinions. And most of you are probably gonna just go "nuh-uh stfu skrub it's OP and were gonna strike until it's fixed". Well here's an unbiased truth to either side. Bungie only half listens to any of us. People cried about SUROS being OP. Got nerfed. People cried about Vex being OP. Pew pew pew foam darts. BUT, I've never seen Bungie undo a buff they added to anything. Ever. I'm sorry guys, but I really doubt they did all the work to buff thorn back up just to knock it back down. This is the most legitimate argument I could come up with, Sincerely, some guy who doesn't use Thorn in anything. ------------------------- Edit: I feel like after all the argument I did I should kind of explain why I don't use it.. It's the sight lines. Idk. Something about the big bulky profile of the barrel effs with my fung shwei and I can't use the thing worth a poop. I'm somehow ok with hawkmoon though.
