Edit: I made a normal poll to see opinion of community. Totally forgot about how many 12 year old salty turds exist here. Without reading anything, they are telling me go to year 1 and other crap.
I am year 1. I have 2300+ hours in game. Have 7000 kills with thorn in year 1.
All of you turds who are telling me how it was op, this poll is not saying what was op year 1 or year 2.
Compare thorn in year 2 with other exotic weapons like red death, suros, boolean gemini.
Why I think thorn is op.
3 shot body shot with fastest fire rate hand cannon. Which usually is 4-5
Tracks enemy.
Stop recovery for 7 effing seconds
All of you who are telling me you can counter it, for sure you can counter it. Problem is, most probably it will still kill you if other person is even half decent.
Please post your honest opinion. Now by honest I mean honest.
If you use it and like it, it's good but that won't change the fact that it's not op.
Thanks
Happy hunting guardians

Edited by bilbo t baginzz: 2/12/2016 10:10:21 AMThorn is the most balanced weapon ive used in a long time. This is coming from someone who used the shit out of it in Year 1 when it was just way to good. Its still has amazing range BUT you cant spam shots like you use to be able to othewise it becomes really inaccurate, it still hits hard but the DoT is perfect in my opinion and its rare that it kills me or when im using it kills others. Rather then DoT always killing people i find that the 3rd or 4th shot is killing them which is how the gun should be.

It's a pest!! It combines way too many good stats! I say cut the range in half, less stability and give it back its 6 round mag. Then maybe it's a bit more balanced, right now it's a PEST!!!

Edited by eEverchanger: 2/12/2016 9:16:44 AMDepends, in an official tourney it should be taken out. Triplewreck + other streamers created a few rules when they play competitive matches.. I remember Thorn and Viking Funeral are both outlawed. I voted disagree btw.
-
Lol op was when it used to have 9 dot lol Now it is just a small glimpse of the original thorn.
-
It says unbiased. But it's biased. Also penis poll confirmed
-
Penis poll confirmed.
-
I disagree simply because it used to be far worse plus it is an exotic.
-
It's a shell of what it once was. I think it's fine, there are guns that annoy me more.
-
It's fine. Just annoying to get killed by a bunch in one round so for some, without the mental capacity to calm their ass down, rush to the forums and make posts about it being op
-
In the eyes of the inexperienced it's op. In reality. It's fine.
-
It's not op anymore, just annoying
-
Anyone have good tips on using this gun? I've had it for the longest time but I suck with hand cannons. Can't use tlw either.
-
Thorn was a pain in the Ass. To acquire. So yeah... I will and continue to use my hard earned exotic
-
I've never liked the gun, the burn is just out of place in destiny and always will be. After its buff in Y1 it was a beast, at the min it's quite balanced, although I think making the burn only proc on crit shots would really bring it into line and make it viable to bring out a Y2 version without it being king again.
-
Year 2 folks never had to counter it at full strength. Be glad you dodged it and hawkmoon in its glory days. Lol
-
It's been nerfed sub par and is now an average exotic. People are pulling out the old school because they are tired of seeing TTK weapons
-
It's not OP it's just that scrubs are getting mad because it's an infamous Y1 gun being used in Y2 and scrubs are thinking that you're bad if you use a Y1 weapon.
-
All these people complaining don't play crucible regularly. Your only seeing Thorn because your playing doubles. In regular crucible Thorn is out there quite often because light levels are not enabled. Get over it... I used it for the bounties but I also murdered people with necrocasm, nerwins, hopscotch, mida, atheons.... Do you want to cry about all of those? Necrocasm has the same rof as doctrine but more impact and great stability. Play normal crucible then come up with a valid argument
-
I cant believe you made this post. Were you here in year 1?
-
[quote] Edit: please don't compare thorn with thorn in year 2. It's not that beast anymore but it's not too below it either. [/quote] It was nerfed hard as hell, now all Hand Cannons are nowhere near year 1.
-
Penis poll [spoiler]thorn is fine[/spoiler]
-
Thorn was already nerfed. It's about time you get good.
-
It's annoying but op? No. If you're still getting killed by thorn. You're doing something wrong.
-
Why are we polling a nerfed y1 weapon? I absolutely destroyed every team using thorn this week. Hawksaw, couvalance duty, eysoluna, inward lamp, etc...it was fun watching them try though.
