Outside of iron banner, people still use other guns. I see three little words almost and much as thorn. But in IB where victory is the only way to move forward, using the best guns for the map size is the strongest plan. When trials comes out, i see shotguns and snipers being heavily used and thorn/scout rifles will take the lead. And for the new HOW maps, they appear to have vertical movement and long range encounters. This will hurt thorn, as while some complain of its range, most players arent that proficient with long range thorn. MIDA and red death will be used more often. The problem isnt the guns everyone. Its the map layouts.
