Thorn is op or not
Edit: I made a normal poll to see opinion of community. Totally forgot about how many 12 year old salty turds exist here. Without reading anything, they are telling me go to year 1 and other crap.
I am year 1. I have 2300+ hours in game. Have 7000 kills with thorn in year 1.
All of you turds who are telling me how it was op, this poll is not saying what was op year 1 or year 2.
Compare thorn in year 2 with other exotic weapons like red death, suros, boolean gemini.
Why I think thorn is op.
3 shot body shot with fastest fire rate hand cannon. Which usually is 4-5
Tracks enemy.
Stop recovery for 7 effing seconds
All of you who are telling me you can counter it, for sure you can counter it. Problem is, most probably it will still kill you if other person is even half decent.
Please post your honest opinion. Now by honest I mean honest.
If you use it and like it, it's good but that won't change the fact that it's not op.
Thanks
Happy hunting guardians

Had you asked me this roughly 5 months ago, I would have screamed yes, considering the weapon's ability to '2-shot look away'. However, the DOT damage was nerfed substantially, and the gun, while still requiring three shots to down a player, has a relatively high ROF for a hand cannon. Considering it is an exotic, and one that not many players could get their hands on, it's kind of nice to have a relatively decent competitor against MIDA Multi-Tool and The Last Word, especially this week with Crimson Doubles. Not many players seem to flock to it anymore, but it can't be denied that the DOT, while weak, will still help you get plenty of Post-Mortem medals. Making an Elimination round a draw is better than accepting a loss. Honestly, it's not the powerhouse it used to be, but Thorn is still a decent weapon for your primary. However, I don't see the stacking DOT winning any PvE awards any time soon, even if it gets brought over to Year 2.
