Hey Bungie I've been running trials multiple times the last 3 weeks, and all my team ever runs into is thorns galore. It's hard to try different weapons and set up a balance team when you can be sniped across the map by thorn and be near death from the burn. It is extremely overpowered that there is no other way to win without having thorns on the team. A hand cannon should not be more effective than a sniper in any game mode by it is. I'm pretty sure you want people to have variety in their load outs, but currently there is no reason to run anything but Thorn bc it is clearly the best PVP weapon in the game. You nerfed auto rifles for this reason, so why is Thorn not receiving the same treatment?
It is so frustrating, and makes my entire clan not want to run any PVP for this reason. Yall need to hit fix that next week, or more and more people are just going to move on to other things. I know my clan is moving over to Elder Scrolls Online for this reason. Fix the issue and we will come back around.
