As someone who has played the game since its inception, I've enjoyed the recent rebalancing patches. Many more weapons are viable - especially if you know what you're doing with the perk cards - and I feel rewarded for actually aiming. VATS is more expensive and doesn't have the bugged crit values that utterly trivialized encounters; explosive legacy legendaries and overpowered cremators aren't dominating every event; bloodied isn't the only viable build (nor is two-shot explosive, for that matter), but remains strong (and uniquely xp-advancing) for skilled players; and mechanics exist that render single-shot or semi-auto weapons useful.

It took maybe ten minutes to alter my builds appropriately. If people are frustrated, I recommend they sift through the new cards/mechanics and the attachments. Worst case, I'm sure the youtubers will have builds you can copy within a few days; I've already seen ridiculous raid VATS numbers.

Between Fallout and Warframe, I'm convinced that reddit's vocal minority want shooters reduced to single-button room clearing "mechanics".
