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.
