All I want is my screen to stop turning -blam!-ing neon green. It's obnoxious and annoying as -blam!-. The gun is more annoying then any other gun in the game. This thing needs a serious range nerf. I'm fine with rof impact and even the dot. However the dot should be shortened as well as the range. I shouldn't have to sit there for friggen 15 seconds waiting for my shields to regen just to get hit again with the next thorn. Sure you tools will claim play better but come on honestly on a map the size of my pinky finger how the hell do you not get hit with at least 1 thorn shot with some scrub spamming one in your general direction with that rof. Mix that with a little iron banner lag and you got some salty mother -blam!-ers really mad about thorn lol. Personally I don't think it's op. I think it still hits from way to far and my opinion about dot really just stems from how annoying the damn gun is. While I'm on annoying things please reduce the volume of the kill shots. One time I had my headset too loud and damn near shit my pants after getting hit with a sniper shot.
