Okay, I feel that I have to respond just to get a point across.
I do NOT think Thorn is OP simply because there are plenty of other exotics that can beat it out such as: The Last Word, Hawkmoon, Vex Mythoclast, Red Death, etc. Were it not for the auto rifle nerf, Suros Regime would also be up there simply because its healing perk can nullify the DoT that comes with Thorn's Mark of the Devourer. Most of my deaths in Iron Banner come more often from special weapons, heavy weapons, supers, melee, grenades or other exotic primaries. Very rarely did I ever bleed out because of a Thorn user.
Now before you blindly accuse me of being a Thorn user in PvP, I do NOT use Thorn. I use TLW or Red Death in the Crucible with the former being a LOT less accurate than Thorn. So yes, it's not the weapon, it's the person using the weapon.

This is some truth. A ton of people using thorn but it's SUPER rare for me to be killed by the DOT.
