Magus Lockdown, wow, just wow. It's another nerf this is really getting old, i mean really old, i am starting to pay money on a game that will just for all intent and purpose say screw you and nerf what the content i'm getting. for example i spent a few hundred dollars so i could buy grace, guardian, barrier, and energize and now energize is the only one of those i can even stomach using after their evil little cooldown nerf. not to mention i like to solo things a lot and the enemies just keep getting more and more powerful while i keep getting weaker and weaker. on top of that i have friends who have internet issues making it extremely hard for them to even play with other people and are stuck solo most of the time. two of them quit the game because they can't progress due to not being able to play with others and the enemies being too absurd to defeat. and the riven disposition nerfs that was a line crossed that should never have been even considered. I guarantee you likely lost hundreds of thousand dollars the moment you did that. This game has so much potential, don't drive another hardcore veteran away with your ridiculous nerfs, all you're doing is losing money and people who actually love this game. As for your nerfing things because something wasn't intended,  my experience has taught me that the greatest and most amazingly fun things tend to be unintentionally added.

I really don't know how many more times i can handle having all my work thrown away against my will before i decide i'm done, and i guarantee that if i quit you will lose a colossal player base of people who spend money myself including, because i intend to buy all accesses and accessories i can. So please don't ruin this game for me and so many others, i'm still angry about what happened to the soma prime, arca plasmor, and the range of all of my polearms, whips, and glaives.

Whiners beget whiners stopping listening to people who complain because something is too powerful because people like that won't stay in your game i spent my life around those types of people i know the way they think and all you're doing is driving people who will actually play your game away and bringing in people who would rather do absolutely nothing but complain and complain about things that they could easily remedy themselves. I can guarantee you with 99% certainty that most of them whine because they don't want to put the work into it and because of that they don't have it and proceed to complain about other people having it

In my conclusion, rather than focusing on nerfing everything... FIX THE HUNDREDS OF ACTUAL ISSUES THAT THE GAME HAS!

Let’s look at whips and pole arms, does instant killing through walls in a 15m range sound fair? The only other thing that did that was abilities and well they’re abilities. Cutting that to keep it in line with other melees isn’t that unreasonable and it opened up the options for other melee types to be used.
arca plasmor, wasn’t originally intended to have headshot multipliers. So while it was a nerf, they were removing something that wasn’t ever meant to be a thing.
You argue this is like riven disposition nerfs, all I gotta say is they haven’t nerfed riven disposition they balance it on usage to incentivize using lesser used weapons with your rivens. 
Soma Prime.... seriously there was a soma nerf? I honestly don’t remember that but whatever soma is far from the strongest thing and hasn’t been the strongest thing for years..... 

Finally you argue that they should leave Magus lockdown as is? This is a two shot move, at any level, that can be used by teleporting instantly to the enemy while you’re in an invulnerable state. This has had a nerf coming for a while, it’s unreasonably over powered and it’s not fun to use because there’s no skill in using Magus lockdown. You don’t need to learn to mod or fight, you don’t need special awareness or a proper weapon, you just need Magus lockdown with how it was. Also you’re saying they can’t progress because they can’t kill? What are you doing then running around with MK1 weapons? Even one of the weakest weapons, the Akmagnus can kill past level 120 when modded well which is something you will never normally encounter in game and that will never be something you need to kill to progress normally. There is almost nothing in base game you’ll find that out levels your weapons if you mod your weapons properly. Also complaining enemies get stronger and stronger while you get weaker, THAT IS THE POINT OF LEVEL SCALING! Higher level foes are meant to require better modded weapons and more skill to fight. It sounds more like you spent money on Magnus Lockdown and bought yourself a crutch instead of learning to play the game.
