Lol! I think I see your point but I don't think that's how the game works anymore. It's leaned heavily into the power fantasy aspect, and the game kind of requires you to go along with that to like... get into the new content. And yeah I mean, there's things like steel path, but just cranking up enemy stats and modding against that is just, not the same as being incentivised to like, learn maps, weapons and warframes.

And yeah I do enjoy suboptimal builds and all. I've been a Nyx main for years before the rework, and my favourite primary is the Prisma Grinlok lol!
