Honestly,I am done discussing this because most of you people have made it abundantly clear that you are not willing to consider an opinion other than your own.

I did consider your opinion, I understand where you are coming from, and I am sorry if I offended. But simply put, there are equivalent options to Ember (she is not in any way in her own tier) and the modification you suggest would cause major functionality issues.

AGAIN,how would an increase in damage make her LESS desirable?

It would be less desirable simply because a range decrease seriously outweighs a damage increase. Less range equals less crowd control, and damage increases drop off quickly.

I know hat you meant and you have a valid argument. But let's understand something here:

We are on the forums and we do not know if our input will be noticed. A nerf may be what this conversation inspires. So we need to take as much into account as possible and try to dissuade something that would put one group at a future disadvantage. Furthermore, a damage increase for Ember would almost be incapable of allowing her to be more effective in later content, as the damage drop off (especially with armor) happens due to exponential scaling.

No. NOT AT ALL. There is so much perspective coming from the majority portion of the community that doesn't participate in content above level 100. Not only does Ember's damage not scale, but the amount of crowd control she provides can be limited as well. Especially when compared to other frames. All in all, Ember's potential is actually very underwhelming and fire damage especially so. 

I am aware that Ember CAN be a bit of a kill-stealer. But first let me ask...what level enemies she does so on? 1-30? That sounds like a very limited perspective to me. You CAN in fact, outkill an ember in those levels with a AOE range-dmg Mag, Excaliber, or Rhino with little modification. Embers abilities can deal with low level cannon fodder, but in regards to universal fairness, if she becomes subject to a nerf, let it only diminish her damage BUT also increase her world on fore's status chance and duration for greater crowd control.
