Yeah some people think it's to intimidate players in crucible but frankly I could care less because when they are on regular crucible most of those players just straight up suck, plus I rather have an emblem that hardly anyone uses and just prefer to be somewhat original. Not trying to be a douche here but when they are doing bad they pull they're thorns and shotguns again I could care less. when you are up against players who know how to counter thorns, shotgun and other OP weapons that just means that you need to practice more and find the right basic weapon that suits your skills don't falling into the peer pressure of those OP weapons. Wow I still sound like a douche sorry guys ^_^' and bad grammar oh well XD
