Ever since before the release of Destiny Thorn has been my favorite gun. The backstory was cool, it looked cool, and after I saw the final perks I knew it was going to be one of my favorite weapons. I got it around the first couple weeks after release, and anyone who knows original Thorn knows it wasn't that good. Best weapons at the time were the Vex and the Suros, and even though I had the latter I still chose to use thorn ( I secretly thought it had become my friend 😉). I got thousands of kills with it, and then I hit that point that many Destiny players go through. I got bored. I played until a week before TDB and didn't pick up Destiny again until around a week after HoW dropped. When I came back I was hurt. A man shouldn't love 1's and 0's on a screen, deep down I know I shouldn't care about code on a disk; but I had become...attached to the gun. So much so, that what became of Thorn was painful to witness. A gun that used to require some amount of skill had become a monster. A way to easily distinguish n00bs from everybody else. With thousands of kills with this gun, I've become branded as a n00b. My favorite gun has become a sin to use, and I can no longer use it without being branded. I'm not angry, and I'm not looking for nerfs or buffs. I just wanted to get this off my chest. PS. Sorry about format, I'm on mobile.
