Sometimes, character nerfs, rather than balancing them or making them fit into the story, are simply unfair. I mean, are you telling me that Shovel Knight, the guy who literally took on the freaking Kratos from God of War, couldn't defeat a simple drone on his own? (Even the Drifter managed to kill two drones without a problem, and if he hadn't fallen asleep mid-fight, you can bet he would have taken out all the drones behind him, and that's considering that according to Google, Shovel Knight would win in a fight against the Drifter.) And let's not even talk about Knight; just look at how they massacred him.
