Honestly have grown to hate this weapon since I have benched it. Now it's all about the last word for small maps. And Hopscotch Pilgrim for ranged maps.
Anyone else finally bench the thorn? I hope the nerf kills it personally. Haha.
What's your load outs these days?
Edit: I appreciate all the replies guys. Thanks for keeping it respectful.

Personally I hate the last word more than anything. It kills faster than thorn and doesn't require aiming and it fries way faster. I feel wayyyy less cheated when I'm killed with a thorn.
-
Hopscotch for every map. Lord of wolves is noice for small maps
-
I mainly use The Last Word, not because it's OP, or because it's a crutch. I use it because I love using the gun. The feeling of using is still amazing. I'm still going to use it post 2.0, because it's my favourite gun in the game. Period.

I switch between TLW and MIDA. My secondary is HB, never switch. And for heavy, I like tomorrow's answer.
-
All I use is the hopscotch for now, it's my baby. Used to use TLW and prob have 20 kills with thorn, it's just a joke
-
I stopped using a while ago for the most part. The only time I pulled it out, I was playing a full fireteam running Thorn/shotty
-
I have never used my Thorn in crucible. Red Death is my go to weapon.

Edited by WeapoNisedFisH: 9/1/2015 9:57:11 AMBenched mine a while ago ( unless the entire match is filled with them ) Gave my Suros some love, fell in love with my Red Hand IV, having a spin with my new Hopscotch atm.

Edited by vassmeist: 9/1/2015 8:41:14 AMBut TLW is so much worse then thorn! The only nerf thorn needs is to stop burning once you've killed the person using it. TLW can 1 shot from across the map! Way to OP. I hope it gets a serious rap[b]i[/b]ng

It only took you 8 months to do it.
-
Honestly have turned it down 10 times to avoid that situation...... don't want the temptation.
-
Go to crucible weapons are my TLW, and Messenger
-
Got the messenger on my first flawless run. Never turned back. I always resented resorting to Thorn long before that though and typically only used it when two or more on the other team were using it. If I run an exotic primary I typically go with Mida now.
-
Edited by anacreon: 9/1/2015 9:27:36 AMI kind of switch thigs up a bit i think i used a different exotic primary for every day of IB. a bit of tlw, some red death, pinch mida, and a dash suros. Secondary i tend to stick with my trusty found verdict and corrective measure in the heavy slot.
-
Me too mostly. Still rock it in trials tho till the weapon update
-
Vex Mytho Praedyth's Revenge/Found Verdict (depends on map) Corrective Measure
-
MIDA Praedyths Revenge / Felwinters Lie Radegasts Fury I got thorn, popped it in the vault and have never even fired it.... never. I played with TLW, just prefer scouts. I like the random jamming built into TLW that makes some think it's broken. More weapons should have jamming mechanisms. Make it more fun and rage inducing at the same time :D
-
I'm the same I used it so much and then I thought I'd give messenger ago and there was no looking back. I do use it in trials tho because 95% of players use that or last word.
-
So you bench thorn just to pick up it's broken little brother? I haven't used an exotic hand cannon for almost two months
-
yes I realized I have not been using it at all lately. and exactly like you I use last word and hopscotch
-
Messenger, praedyth's, tomorrow's answer.
-
Yup did it months ago..
-
Yep. I carried it in IB, but only swapped out my Hopscotch with it when the other team was majority exotic hand cannons.
-
I despise thorn in crucible, I used to use it alot in pve but refuse to use it in the crucible. If others use it I grab my Last Word and wreck them, I like using Hard Light at the moment, it's quite under rated and nice to use something different.
-
If I'm using a hand cannon it's gotta be hawkmoon. Other than that I use mostly scout rifles.
