Most of the complaints peak around Iron Banner time. Thorn was directly attributed to Trials I'll give you that. Honestly I think you're missing the real issue here. The real issue being that bungie doesn't balance when they try a "re-balancing". Every time people gravitate towards a weapon or weapon class, it's down to how the game is programmed, whether by intent or by accident. PRs were really powerful since The Dark Blows DLC, but because of Thorn etc they were overlooked. Now that they have been nerfed we are waiting to see what the new go-to weapon will be, personally I am thinking it'll be The Last Word and MIDA. Personally I have taken to Fabian Strategy as it's epic now. My point is perhaps people should be asking Bungie to actually balance things when they...you know....try to balance things.
