Ice2Fantasy, you are not completely wrong-- but not completely right either.

While I dont't exactly main any frame, I spent a lot of time using Equinox. And truth is, she could have potential. She does. But she has critical flaws that make her simply frustrating to use.

Half of her powers require insane amounts of stats to be vaguely useful-- and even than they usually fall short. but worst of all, she is clunky. clunky like hell. She is a frame capable of role alteration-- yet you are actively disencouraged to make so. 2 of her powers (counting with peaceful provocation-- she's useless without it) have build up which is lost on transformation, and 1 a terribly painfully long casting time. Mend is arguably the worst ultimate ingame (yes, I said it. I dont care how many times it "saved your life" ppl. It ended mine and failed to save my teammates' while rending my energy reserves empty-- and, with it, screwing my pacify build-up -- many, many more times. So stop using the "it is not completely awful" argument to pretend something isn't awful).

She was supposed to be a jack-off-all trades frame, yet half of her is either useless or frustrating, and her other half is reduced to a nuke. And what is, I suppose, a "support nuke", because she requires killing in order to kill. in the end, everyone ends up saying "eh, she's fine, but there are better frames". And its true. because, if she fails to be good at everything, how can she compete on speciallized matters, against frames that excell on those things? she can't.
