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'll say this. When I first started playing (around the time the Crota expansion hit), I jumped into Crucible as a pre-level 20 and then again at level 20 with the fairly standard white/green/blue guns. I did OK. Not great, but mostly close to 1.0, and I competed enough to have fun. Lots of prior FPS experience, but not any Destiny experience. Since then, I've logged a lot of hours in Crucible and gotten significantly better. I'm now leveling a warlock to complete my platinum trophy, and when I hop into Crucible with those same white/green/blue guns, no exotics, etc, it is -considerably- harder to play competitively. I struggle to reach 1.0 or even get 10 kills. Flip to my hunter and right back at the top. I much prefer a Crucible balance that allows anyone to compete than plays to very strict metas.
