DE, please reconsider taking something that made Hydroid at least a little fun and turn it into an Augment at the very least.

So someone out there who plays Hydroid found this amazing bug that allowed you to shoot in Undertow.    https://www.reddit.com/r/Warframe/comments/ip9scm/hydroid_marked_for_death_intended_game_mechanics/ 

This past hotfix removed that bug and sadly Hydroid subtly gets nerfed even though the poor squid lad doesn't deserve to be nerfed anymore than he is. I really hope some reconsideration can be made to turn this into an augment at the very least. 

Before you say that it would be too OP being able to shoot and be invincible, allow me to also go back to a very unused frame, Nyx. 

Nyx also has an augment for Absorb that allows her to move around at very slow speeds, be invincible, and shoot enemies. 

Undertow is an ability that makes Hydroid move at very slow speeds, be invincible, and...not shoot. 

The difference between both abilities is that Nyx will explode all the damage she takes outward while Hydroid can do a little CC with his. Yes you can cast Hydroid's abilities while in Undertow to move faster, rain dance, and Kraken but let's be real here. Hydroid isn't in a good state and most of his abilities are meh at best. Have this at least a Niche build for Hydroid to play around with and enjoy because the poor boy doesn't get any love... Kinda like Nyx as well.

But anyway, let this be an augment at the very least. There's no reason why something like this can't be in the game when it already exists on another frame with some slight differences.

Seeing a video with Hydroid and Pirates of the Caribbean's theme makes me... kinda mad that our pirate boy is pretty weak and doesn't behave much like a pirate. DE, please rework him and make him fun and viable. 

Right? I love Hydroid personally and I really want to play him but... I just can't.

Khora pretty much replaced him after Pilfering Strangledome is a thing. Her CC doesn't lock her out of weapons and her abilities scale much better in late game.

Is a very sad time for Hydroid. They just keep subtly nerfing him for no reason.

Seriously? They just gave him a cool new jacket the other day didn't they? What more do you really want from him? 

I mean yeah. But if he isn't good in really anything then no one is going to play him.
