autos werent op, they were just easy to use...i used to outgun them all the time with the very weapon you said they made useless: scout rifles...also beat them with certain handcannons and pulse rifles...i was on here saying the shyt all the time when people were screaming auto this, auto that....the same shyt is happening with the thorn...it's easy to use cause of the poison, larger clip, and higher fire rate, but it can be outgunned just like any other weapon....
that's another reason i disagree with nerfs: whole classes tend to get fukked up cause of 1 particular weapon getting abused, just like you suggested...you talking about nerfing the whole class of hand cannons cause people abuse 1 particular gun...a gun that is supposed to be better than others cause it's an exotic....which isnt right nor fair...if they wanna make a change, make it to just the thorn alone....the same shyt happened to autos cause of the suros...
...even if they did nerf the thorn, all that's gonna happen is people will flock to another gun, that will get abused/used to death, and people will start screaming for that to be 'balanced'...eventually, all the guns will perform the same for the most part, making the game boring, and the ones that complained will stop playing, leaving the others with a fukked up, non fun game...
side note: i'm down to run trials with you this weekend...last week was just a banner grind to get light...
My most used guns online are Pulse Rifles, I know you can outgun a Thorn, lol.
It's still overpowered. Just because you can beat out a guy who's aim is off occasionally doesn't mean the gun isn't overpowered. I'm talking about nerfing all of the Hand Cannon's range because they need it. Just like the shotguns needed it. I shouldn't have an advantage from range with Hand Cannons. They should rape from mid to close range, not from all ranges.
If they reverted the Thorn back to it's OG state it would still be a good gun and it would still be used a lot in Trials. There's little variety to what people are going to now already. I can hold my own against Thorns with whatever I have on me, but that's not the case for everybody, and I'm sure it's not fun to always have to go against a team of Thorn users.
And you could have gotten Etheric Light from Trials Silver and Gold Packages and then got on Iron Banner. I literally got to Rank 5 in like 5 matches with my Titan on the last day it was running. They buff the rep you get, so really all I did was complete the Iron Banner bounties and I hit Rank 5 yesterday. I didn't even play IB with my Titan prior to yesterday. Basically, you could have gotten even more Etheric Light if you would have joined us in Trials
