I agree that thorn is an annoying weapon, but I don't believe it is OP. Look, most times if me and a thorn user see eachother at mid-long range, my hawkmoon beats them 3 out of 4 times. I imagine some pulses do the same. Closer ranges and things get a bit more dicier, as they always are. The thing is, I think most people complain about thorn because its one of the few weapons you know you are getting hit by, other than vex and maybe hawkmoon. Yeah, I get killed by thorn a lot, I also get killed by snipers, shotties, pulse rifles and the odd AR. Out of all those weapons though, I only really know when I'm getting hit by thorn because of the dot, the rest could be anything. Thorn is annoying, but its not OP. If you get hit by it, run! Don't give them an easy kill. Recover and get to range to make em pay!

  • This. I think people are just annoyed by the green screen tbh. Oh and also because they die to it, which obviously never happens to them because they're so good.

  • Exactly. I die to thorn at the hands of a good user. The same way I die to any other weapon when either they get the jump on me, or they are better than me (not hard... lol)

  • Issue here is that your solution for an exotic, is just another exotic. Hardly seems like the problem is truly resolved.

  • Ok, you say it's not OP. However, you are suggesting that a player runs like hell after getting shot by thorn. That alone makes it OP. In trials, let's say there is 5 seconds left, you get shot with thorn, and then have to run? Boom they win after the zone cap. Let's say you have a good position then get shot and have to run? See where I'm going? Your recommendation to avoid thorn being OP still makes the gun OP...

  • Your opinion. You don't have to run like hell every time. Just run to get sufficient cover to try and turn the tables. I do it all the time.

  • Not really just an opinion. Even one lucky shot, and you have to give up ground. That's OP

  • Same could be said of any weapon. If someone gets the jump on me, I always retreat because 9 times out of 10 they will kill you. Just like I do when I get the jump on someone and they don't back off for cover.
