Yah, I agree that it didn't need a nerf. People just don't like putting in effort.
We're seeing the affects of an OP weapon being a crutch for unskilled players to lean on. When a mechanic appears that doesn't allow them to use that crutch they suck and complain a fight is to hard. Meanwhile others are beating it in 10 minutes without a problem. But instead they nerf the only fun new mechanic this game has had since vanilla Destiny. Damn shame.
Rest of the patch notes are great though.
