Nyx was a great general purpose frame who could punch above her weight class because of her sold CC. Her old bolts and passive were great for that. Just by existing, she could disarm enemies, and her bolts proc'd radiation which effectively removes their targets from the battle, as well as dealing damage. Her bolts were also a great way to kill off a bunch of weaker enemies that were swarming you.

Now?

Now she's a little harder to hit (yay?) and her bolts can make enemies a little weaker, assuming you don't have a 4 CP squad and assuming you'd pumped up her Strength to sufficient levels. And assuming you only want to strip 6 enemies. And since they're homing, it's entirely possibly that they strip the Lancers while ignoring the Bombard, Heavy Gunner, and Nox.

She's still a playable frame, and a good player can still have her punch above her weight class, but these changes feel like they were done by someone who didn't actually use her and listened to complaints from people who didn't use her.

She's not useless, but she's certainly worse than she was before. And I still don't really understand what they did to Absorb as the hotfix notes make little sense.
