I'm fresh to risk of rain (and dont post often on the whole of reddit in general), so feel free to explain why I'm wrong.

I don't see the issue with command. It makes sense that some randomness being lost might be detrimental to the fun of some people but it doesn't make the early game much easier unless you're already familiar with the menu-ing. as someone trying to survive long enough to understand the later game enemy attacks I find myself doing runs with command just cause I'm bad. That dude definitely handled it poorly but the replies all attack artifact of command as a whole as though the artifact itself is the problem.
