To all those 'thorn is not OP' posts.
You guys always say its not the gun, but its the player's fault. I disagree. This gun can put the best crucible player to the ground with 2 headshots. This gun IS overpowered and you thorners just don't want it nerfed.
If you want to flame me for not being good in crucible, go ahead. Idc, my skill is higher than yours anyway. I still have to see an flamer with a higher kd here...
Edit: all these scrubs flaming don't want their thorn nerfed.... ;)
Edit: most of you guys could only whine about 'lucky' headshots, so i changed that.
Yet another Edit: i'm not saying that the thorn owns me, i outgun them 80% of the time. But that doesn't take away the fact that its too powerful. A simple stability or range nerf should suffice.
Again, Edit: wow how has this reached 500+ replies? I'm truly honored by all you flaming bastards who just keep flaming. For those who agree with me, thank you :)
Edit: going straight for the 1000 replies! Please keep flaming or replying! Thank you in advance, i am calling it the night for now.
Edit: just made the 1000 replies in [b]1 DAY[/b] thanks to all the flamers and other people! Really appreciate it!
Edit: Damn this post has been bashed on. The hate is real! I'm just putting down my opinion and some facts, get over it. Also, my skill actually has nothing to do with the stats of the thorn, its crazy right?
Edit: post just hit 1500+
Thats all. Nuff said.
Check out Tiny Baby Jesus's reply, it sums up the thorn.

I think it's not as much the thorn'd player skill so much as the thorner's skill like the 2 head shot thing requires at least a bit of aim

71 RepliesThe cycle of butt-hurt 1. Get owned by a certain gun/tactic/ability in crucible 2. Makes a rage thread about it, insulting people who use the particular gun/tactic/ability, and hoping to find people who share their outrage 3. Starts getting flamed 4. Makes some defensive edits, sometimes they'll claim to be collecting tears (trying to make it look like they're the one with the upper hand) 5. Declares that they don't actually die to the gun/tactic/ability very often and they don't have a problem countering it (which would suggest that the thread is more about how it's overpowered for other people and they're just angry on other players behalf, or raging at the gun/tactic/ability on purely academic grounds). I've been on these forums since Halo 2 and it's amazing how often the above steps play out.

I agree OP

There's no such thing as complete equality. Keep complaining and soon enough every exotic gun will suck. Learn to counter the onslaught. Adapt. Overcome. It's gonna be okay.

2 RepliesYou used to laugh. You used to mock. As we reloaded our exotic, you shot us for what seemed like an eternity. As we fired off our rounds, you laughed as we were missing a 7th bullet, leaving you a one shot on our X. As we damaged you over time, you laughed as they nerfed it to 3 health drain a tick. You laughed. But that's all over, now. Now, you cry. Cry that it's overpowered. "9 shots in the chamber? That's so many kills without reloading!" "Their reload speed is almost faster than TLW, fix it!" "Their DOT is killing me now that it's back to 7. Bring it down." Now we laugh. We laugh at all those who had laughed at us. As the Thorn pierces your side, and the poison slowly drains your Guardian's Light, ask yourself if abandoning the bounty was smart? If dismantling the withered flower was wise? Because now it's an exotic. And now, it's a force to be reckoned with. Thorn is not just a gun. It's a lifestyle. Learn to live it, or learn to live with it.

Yeah it is OP compared to most other weapons but I only use it because it's OP. There's no point not using it and putting yourself at a disadvantage I say.

Thorn is not OP. It is a serious killer, but so is Red Death, TLW, Hawkmoon, Midi, and Universal Remote. Each have perks that can dominate certain maps or matchups. Suros was a serious killer also, but the nerf neutered it. Thr real OP tool in PvP is lag.

10 RepliesEdited by Diab3ticBatman: 5/10/2015 12:35:46 AMI'll tell you what. Let's nerf the hand cannons. Then when the vex an red death are all that's left to be op and nothing can stop them, let's nerf pulse rifles an the vex too. Then Midas op, so let's nerf scout rifles. Then when nothing can compete against snipers, we will go ahead an nerf those. But wait, fusion rifles are one hit kill an plan c kinda snipes, so we can nerf those. Oh but shotguns do too much damage, we need to nerf those. But special ammo shows up too much. No problem, we are removing special ammo from the crucible. But what about heavy? Well nothing can compete against rockets, so let's nerf those. But now nothing can compete against heavy machine guns, we can nerf those. You know what, we're just gonna remove heavy ammo from the crucible. But shit, after all these friggin nerfs, hand cannons like thorn an last word will have become top tier again. See a pattern? Just quit crying, before you destroy crucible one nerf at a time.

tripleWREAK made a good comment on PlanetDestiny's podcast, saying it should only 3 shot kill no matter what. He said the same for The Last Word.

I don't even use my thorn anymore! It's still not OP! Lol Ever sense I got my hawkmoon thorn has been sitting in the vault.

2 RepliesCompared to other hand cannons, Thorn is much harder to get headshots with. The target acquisition (ie auto aim) is weak, and it handles like a cruise ship on a formula one track.

2 RepliesEdited by Darthsmith615: 5/10/2015 3:42:27 PMI find it funny all these cry babies bitching that it takes TWO head shots to kill with the thorn. Play a real competitive FPS like the old school rainbow six games where ONE headshot from the weakest gun kills you. I can't play pvp games like destiny because of this. A headshot should be a kill every time once COD 4 changed that concept I lost interest in pvp in shooters. In B4 git gud or some shit

1 ReplyIf they nerfed it to a pea shooter I could Still kill you

Edited by GabeH12: 5/10/2015 3:09:54 PMIt needs to be good because it's hard to get. I don't have one and I know it should NOT be nerfed. I play pvp perfectly fine with TLW or Patience and time. Stop complaining.
-
You know what I got a solution, let's get rid of all weapons, melee, grenades, and supers and just have people face each other and only use Harsh Language. I can guarantee people will call for nerfs on talking, walking, and even looking at people.

29 RepliesThere is a defense for every attack, and an attack for every defense. Thorn is strong. Not op.

This nerfing needs to gtfo lets just make everything on par with it, they need to put auto rifles back to the way this game shipped minus the range. But felwinter people who use that are handicapped.

Is this still a thing? I thought we cried ourselves dry!?
