It's OP. The only change to it is that it isn't a 2 shot headshot anymore. Still has mad range 3 shot kill anywhere Huge aim assist Stops regeneration Allows you to track behind cover High fire rate If you have two players of similar ability, one using thorn and one not - the one without thorn will lose. You can be guaranteed that if it became a year 2 weapon that 99% of the people disagreeing would change their minds and it again would be the most used gun.
