Great read I agree with almost all your points. However I do think thorn needs a slight nerf. It's the only guaranteed two shot headshot in the game (excluding obvious things snipers ect.). Red death come close with a 2 burst. For balance I think thorn needs a slight nerf to its aim assist since the buff it hands out headshots like candy. I also wouldn't be opposed to tweaking it so the two shot headshot is possible but not guaranteed again but not return it to exactly how it was before. This would also be with a concurrent AR buff and after all the dust is settled probably need a slight red death nerf. The tweaks can't be huge that was the problem bungie cause before. Every change they make is huge.
