Warframe is that bin of mismatched lego pieces you keep in the back closet. It’s a joy to pull out an odd piece you rarely use and fit it into your next project. This nerf forces that odd piece back into the box so I can use the same pieces I always do. Why was this change needed? Consistency? Interesting interactions like this should be encouraged, not immediately scrubbed away.
I’m reminded of Styanax’s nerf to his 4, specifically restricting his other abilities while the 4 was active. Firing off the 1 to group enemies while the ult was going off may not have been intended, but it added so much depth to the 4 that it quickly became one of my favorite ults in the game. Its removal felt like the antithesis of everything warframe- finding unique, fun interactions to tinker with and incorporate into a build.
Sorry if this post comes across as negative, I do truly think Warframe has been on a role these past couple years, but such knee-jerk reactions to unintended synergies will only hamper the game going forward. I hope, in the future, DE sees interactions like these and embraces them.
