The only valid complaint is to nerf thorn because it's definitely overpowered According to a YouTuber named Drift0r, the definition of over-powered is a weapon that outclasses other guns in almost every or every situation Thorn [i]does[/i] outclass basically every other weapon It's useful at close range because it's a handcannon; if you get two body shots and a melee or one headshot and a melee, the enemy will die; in a gunfight between the two closer-ranged weapons, thorn will always beat an auto-rifle, therefore outclassing them It's useful at medium ranges because it has very good target acquisition (meaning it's easy to get head shots with) and two headshots will kill; the most used medium ranged rifle is the Red Death, which requires six headshots to kill instead of the 2 from Thorn; furthermore, thorn's DoT almost always counteracts health regen given by a successful Red Death user, blade dancer, etc. It's useful at long ranges because of the insane range it has; there is hardly any drop off for Thorn's range and it continues to have good target acquisition; I mostly use MIDA Multi-tool in Iron Banner currently and on multiple occasions I will be in a 75-100m gunfight with thorn, and thorn will win because it simply has a faster TTK at all ranges Furthermore, thorn has excellent stability and excellent range, both of which contribute to it being OP; even TLW has shit handling which makes it a challenge to get consistent head shots with Lastly, DoT, or damage over time, continues to damage a disengaged enemy, preventing their health regen to kick in, especially when there's enemies all around On a subjective level, Thorn makes your screen green, causes the victim to flinch a [b]lot[/b], and makes an extremely intimidating sound. All of these factors in my opinion make it extremely hard to counter
