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

Personally I think thorn is OK now, but I can see why it annoys people. For full disclosure, in year 1 I used thorn all the way through its dominant period, but I dismantled mine at the start of year 2 and have not used it since. I think the reason I think it is OK is that in year 1, when for a time it was more widespread than now, and felt more lethal, I became used to being hit by it and immediately disengaging to avoid a second shot (potentially lethal with 2 head shots). I still do that so it is quite rare for me to be hit 3 times now. If I had come to the game in year 2, when most hand cannons feel weak, and thorn itself is nowhere near as commonly used, I might want a nerf. It is a top tier gun in spite of not having a year 2 version.
