I personally like thorn and still think it's easy to combat with the right strategy. I just prefer not to use it in normal crucible when I can be practicing with weapons that I can use effectively in both IB and trials.
Same can be said for sunsingers. They have a powerful melee and top 3 grenades. But they can be shut down pretty effectively provided you're aware. Hug walls, shade step, blink, snipers, shotguns, scouts and even ARs effectively shut down most sunsingers. Thing is (and I fall victim to this way too much) most sunsingers overestimate how large their melee reach actually is. If you back pedal when you engage a sunsinger at close range more often than not you can gun them down while they swing at you 2-3 times instead of firing. This happens even when they get the drop on you.
All in all I say screaming broken is boring. I've seen and been shut down too many times. Sunsinger is a class that anyone can play. It's easy it's accessible and is somewhat of a crutch. However I'd argue it's still pretty hard to play extremely well for the average player.
Let the rage commence.
Yea I always see them in ruble and can usually win, if I get hit with a grenade I run the fuck away, if I get hit with a grenade and a single shot by a primary I dance until I burn out
I'm not too salty about them but I just don't get why everyone bitches about thorn since it's just a damn good gun to use, it's crucible anyways, might as well play to win
