ok, I admit that I didn't quite use the right word as evidence is an understatement. What Lost Sols actually does is provide relatable instances that everyone can relate to. Its more satisfactory to kill a person who has a thorn than to cry when you die from it. Everyone has had that instance before with whatever weapon it was. To your comment that this is a weapon with scout rifle range and sniper damage, I don't deny that but that doesn't mean that they get the kill. I admit the thing I die from most is a hand cannon but is it always a thorn, no. The fact that you are upset that everyone is using it in trials is a remark that I will not go to in depth into because I refuse to pay money to have to find friends to play a game, but the fact is that trials is incredibly competitive, you send a major nerf at the thorn and you will find people will just find another weapon that is just as powerful. A month later after a thorn nerf and everyone will be crying for a new nerf. I'm not saying that a nerf isn't going to happen, I just think that it needs to be fixed slightly. A major overall rebuild of the thorn would lead everyone back to square one. This is what people who ,like me that sit on the sideline and watch, call the rebuild rotation. This never ends as the moment you nerf one gun it goes to the next best weapon to nerf. These large nerfs end up to restart the rotation and then if the game goes on long enough then the thorn is back on top. Instead of sitting around responding to me telling me that I am wrong (which sometimes I admit to being as I did here) I encourage you to spend your time thinking about how to beat the thorn, tactics to fight against it (other than camping), and thinking what weapon you would like to nerf next after you get your large nerf on the thorn.
