I too miss Thorn (Destiny)

It was unstoppable. Two-shot kills galore if you could pull off headshots due to the DOT mechanic. I absolutely wrecked people with that thing once RNG finally gave me the bounty/quest, and as was pointed out by someotherguy, usually the more skilled player would win in a match of Thorn vs. Thorn. It definitely was a simpler time, and while I thoroughly enjoyed how absolutely cheap it felt for me to run away with matches with the thing, it really needed to be nerfed.
The year 3 version is out and about in Crucible now, and clever players and skillful players can totally destroy with it (especially if they communicate and coordinate well with teammates). I personally have no desire to use it in Crucible, but it definitely changes up how I play a match when I come up against it. Good adversity.
