After playing a couple of rounds of skirmish, I was at 1 out of 500. I switched to control and after 2 rounds there, I'm up to 50. This is my second attempt at the thorn bounty, the last time I made it in the 100's, but gave up. This time I'm just going to take it slow and follow the advice from streetfighter. Also for me, having the bad juju bounty going at the same time really helps keep me motivated to play the crucible.
