Okay so we don't want to take the burning from the thorn. That's what makes it the thorn. We don't want to nerf damage, then it becomes a chain of nerfs until the game is irrelevant. What we do need though, is this gun not to shoot as far as a scout rifle. Removing the send it perk would do most of that. I believe it should also have a slight nerf to its range after the removal of the "send it" perk. I think that's the most intelligent answer here. Please sign below for this petition!

Not enough. It would still outshine everything. Because the burn damage, it needs the same ROF as Timur's lash. Take away send it, and lower the ROF - Thorn becomes rewarding to those that both actually enjoy the weapon and have some skill/patience. It becomes landing two well placed/well timed headshots. Not just blam blam blam your dead.
