I hope you read this op because i would like your opinion on my suggestion. Why does everyone seem to think that thorn needs to be nerfed to the ground? Completely removing the DoT is extremely stupid. One simple change like removing the DoT when the thorn user dies would make the weapon much less frustrating to be up against and it would add a clear counter to the weapon. "If you as a thorn user dies before your target, you wont get the kill" simple. I think that handcannons are a little bit to strong right now so why not up the recoil a bit on all handcannons. This would make them a more skillfull weapon to use and it would take away their long range capabilities that they shouldnt have. The overall nerf to handcannons coupled with the small nerf to thorn should be enough to make it equal to other exotics without making it a peashooter.
