I'll be honest, I thought the OP was Lendol, I completely missed your initial post. I was replying to him (they were also talking about the end of what makes Mirage fun, not the frame itself, but that's the gist of it basically).
And sorry, but yes, this is a knee jerk, as it has always been with any kind of nerf in this game. This community is by far the most senitive to any nerf I've ever seen in decades of gaming. I'm just sorry that I picked probably the most civil thread (yours) to vent my opinion in (just minutes after your thread, another thread was open about Mirage being "murdered").
A nerf is a nerf, of course you can show it with numbers.
