To be Honest Valkyr is not a noob frame, she requires a few formas and pretty expensive rank 10 mods to shine (Vitality and Steel Fiber just to name a few) and none of her abilities can be considered OP, yeah Hysteria gives invulnerability but that won't help you against corpus and void anymore (Nullifiers ftw) so you need to resort to other builds like Rage + Quick Thinking and Life Strike one (which are somewhat hard to come by mods).

Also Excalibur isn't used because he is bad he's just outclassed there's nothing he does better than anyone else, his Blind can be replaced by Prism which also blinds through walls, his Javelin can be replaced by atleast 4 other abilities, his super jump and slash dash can be replaced by melee weapons (directional air and slide attacks respectevly) the only reason to have him is rep farm because of his superior range but if you ask me 3 Ashs with just a stretch mod and bladestorm build will outclass this aswell, atleast dmg wise.

And all of this comes from someone who has used Excalibur extensively bot before and after the nerf, and I personally find no reason to use him other than nostalgia. I even feel that Ember is now more usefull than Excalibur (and I do like Ember a lot).
