If you are seriously struggling in PvP, let me burst your bubble now and say you will not magically start owning in PvP just because Thorn and TLW are getting nerfed. After the "Re balance" you will still get owned in PvP. This patch will mostly impact players who are already doing well in PvP but want to try different weapons and still be competitive. If you are horrible, the patch ain't going to make you an amazing PvP player overnight.
Edit: I Don't care what your k/d is or if you are good or not. My point is that the weapon patch will not take someone who is consistently at the bottom of the score board to the top over night. It will not make a team who struggle to get few wins to flawless in ToO over night.

I said this on other threads, the top tier player it won't affect at all. Up close TLW will still wreck people, and the good players tend to close fast and get their kills at CQ. Thorn we shall see, I still think it will be good, if Scouts become a bit better we shall see some rocking the Mida no doubt. AR's getting buffed is a good thing, they were utterly horrible after the nerf, again the good player will just out strafe people like in vanilla Destiny. Like you said good players will be good players no matter the weapon nerfs, in fact the average player will suffer more as the weapons are less of a crutch now, and in theory gunskill should be more rewarding. I can look forward to being on farm status more! haha
