For the most part I totally agree with OP. Having a riven that can make your weapon WORSE feels like a big F-you. (and ya'll who are saying BuT nEgaTiVE sTAts MAkE thE oTHeR StAts HiGhEr, yeah that's just what DE decided, they can change it as they please, it's not like this is some unchangeable rule or something inherent to the concept). On the other hand there are some rare situations where negatives are actually good. An example is -Zoom, which is actually nice for snipers, or -mag capacity, which is actually good on Vectis for various reasons. And of course there is actually the very annoying case of -Recoil (which is counted as a positive stat, so...wtf DE, make up your mind.)
Really they should just remove any stat that is NEVER good (-dmg, -crit, -status, -combo chance, -combo duration, etc.) and just include any potentially 'good negative' stats along with the other positive stats. Suggesting that's unbalanced is kind of dumb since the ideal roll has a negative that doesn't effect anything useful on the weapon to begin with (for example, -slash dmg on a weapon that doesn't even have slash damage). There's no balance in that situation, the negative might as well not exist. It's just a way to screw you over and keep you rolling the riven to increase the grind.
Even removing all the 'always bad' negatives leave plenty of room for grind. Like if I get +impact, +status duration, +combo duration, I'm still gonna be like "Ugh, trash," and even desirable stats can be good or bad depending on the weapon but at least you wouldn't have -dmg or -atk spd ON TOP OF THAT. For example, I recently I rolled +crit + crit damage (which is usually HIGHLY desirable, as ya'll know)...for a Deconstructor Riven. IT HAS 0 CRIT + ANY % CRIT IS STILL 0%. It was a useless stat, but at least it's not making my weapon worse, just not any better (that roll also had +status, which was good and -atkspd which was bad, so...well 99% of my rolls have been bad so I've still got this one somehow, even after casually dropping 20k kuva into it the other day).
Anyways, grind wouldn't go away if you changed the system by removing always bad stats, you can still get kuva-wasting rolls, but at least it wouldn't feel like you got punched in the gut every time you rolled your riven and got horrible negatives every other roll ON TOP of the lousy positives.
Very logical. Something tells me DE won't understand.

But there in lies the Rub....
Certain negatives render the Weapon completely unusable....
Negative Multishot can cause your weapon to fire blanks and Negative Projectile Flight Speed can cause your Bullets to get stuck in Mid Air.... The fact that these Extremes can only happen to happen weapons with High Riven Dispositions... Which are supposedly the the ones that the whole system was intended to Salvage just goes to show just Broken the whole thing is....
It doesn't work...
I suppose it can be fixed.... But I'd rather they just remove it.
If they remove it, then everyone has the same exact build as everyone else. Thats boring.

Rivens should be cursed, however, negative damage or multishot should not exist

I can also confirm after leaving an arcana bounty, I too lost all my experience on bonewidow and the exalted melee weapon. Very disappointing, and a complete waste of hours of farming affinity.
Exactly. So much time wasted and nothing will be offered in return.
If they were to fix the amount of SE dropped, gave us a better way to farm Kuva, or fixed the riven system, aka their "endgame," all would be forgiven as far as Im concerned. Im sitting on dozens of rivens with no way to roll them because the rewards are so low. Why are endgame players still getting the same sortie rewards as MR1 players? 6k kuva is technically ONE roll. Think about how ridiculous that is...

Just tested it and it is still broken.
Had a host migration, not only did I lose all of Bonewidow's xp, damage from my archgun was also cut down by a lot. Wierdly another gun was stuck to me and all my colors reverted back to stock colors on my mausalon.
Fourth times a charm?

Wow you guys really don't pay any attention to what people are saying, do you?
Most of the stuff being hotfixed no one cares about.
