^The reason you nerf overpowered stuff instead of brining everything else up to its level leads to something called "Power Creep".

It's much easier, and far more sensible, to nerf the one overpowered element than to try and buff everything else. This doesn't mean those other Warframes shouldn't be buffed (Volt especially needs some attention), but buffing them to the same degree as Nova would solve one problem by creating another: sapping overall difficulty from the game.

Defense missions are supposed to be hectic and tense requiring positioning, gut reaction with a dash of planning.

Right now, Defense Missions play like this:

-Bunch up enemies. M-Prime. Shoot-boom. Pick up Blue Orbs. Repeat.

And all other missions (save Extermination) play like this:

-Rush. Rush. Ultimate to clear room. Rush. Rush. Ultimate. Rush. Objective. Rush. Extract.

I dunno. Maybe I'm just jaded on account of being tired of the game. But it's just so unfortunate for a game to create so many cool frames with cool powers, only render 99% of them useless and uninteresting because of what the metagame requires for efficiency.
