I've gotten a lot less angry with Crucible after I've accepted that there is no victory in it, only defeat, and that I'm not good at it, but it still hasn't become fun for me.
I can see that the meta is Hand Cannons and Shotguns on Hunters and Warlocks, but otherwise it just seems like throwing myself into the game as cannon fodder for others without an ounce of enjoyment.
So, when do other people start having fun in the Crucible? Is it a specific mode? I admit I'm a solo player and don't have groups to play with, so maybe that's it?

Step one Find an exotic that takes skill or is fun to use. Like you say everyone is using thorn, shotgun combo. Look for something fun not a crutch. I use plan c a really fun gun to use as it matches my playstyle. Step two Find a game mode. You can't change the map, [b]yet[/b]. But you can change the game mode. Here are my top three(combined arms, control, clash.) Step three Find out your play style and use it. Use it with exotics, and legendaries. For armor find a good perks on legendary. And one good perk for exotics. For guns use the same on your favorite gun types
