I have a fully perked Bad Juju, and I could not disagree with you more with regards to its usefulness, or lack thereof. I don't have the Thorn, so I can't comment, but the Bad Juju is terrible even when it's fully perked, which is why you never see anyone using it outside of patrols. The only thing it's good for right now is killing weak trash mobs like dregs and vandals. Anything stronger than that requires a different gun, which is inexcusable for a gun like this.
The gun has absolutely nothing going for it. It's very low impact combined with the smallest magazine size of any pulse rifle in the game. It legitimately makes no sense.
And about "priorities" - I guarantee more people have the Bad Juju than the Mythoclast (well, I'm not so sure anymore considering all the glitching going on now). No one forced Bungie to announce these buffs, and no one forced them to announce it back when basically no one even knew what the Mythoclast was. I don't understand why nerfing 1 gun owned by a small portion of the population is of a "higher priority" than buffing a gun that you already announced that you were going to buff. It's about coming through on your promises in a timely manner, nothing more. They obviously had the time to balance other weapons during the same time frame, so they've had the time to buff these guns as well.

Once again, my like or dislike of these guns is based more on opinion than solid fact. I've killed Falllen Captains, Knights, and even some Minotaurs with it (even tried taking on a Praetorian once. That... didn't end well). I think most of the reason they're taking so long with these buffs is they're trying to balance a strong enough buff that makes the guns useful without turning them into the next SUROS Regime or Vex Mythoclaust- overpowered. And when I say "higher priority" I mean the Mythoclaust was an absolute beast. You could very well have one guy with the Vex take on an entire six man team and kill every one of them. The amount of people who owned it was almost a moot point. If they hadn't taken that down soon it would have escalated far too quickly in my opinion- more people getting it, more people dominating the Crucible with it, more people crying bloody murder over it. Rinse and repeat. Whereas the Thorn and Bad Juju are not OP. Between taking two under performing weapons and upgrading them and one super over powered weapon being made more fair to those who don't have it, they probably judged the latter to be the more pressing need, and I agree with them. Once more, this is opinion influenced by the fact I don't particularly mind the guns and can use them rather well. You're not obligated to agree.
