Uh, no. S/He isn't smart, they're just providing an overgeneralized knee-jerk response to criticism (some legitimate criticism at that).

FACT: Some powers are, objectively, superior to others right now. Extrapolated further, this actually means some entire WARFRAMES are objectively superior to others right now.

Molecular Prime on Nova for example. It is -THE- premier AoE attack in late game (next to Miasma). Why? Because it doesn't fall off like most other screen-clearing attacks. Why is that a problem? Because that means it's pointless to EVER bring something like, Ember, Mag or any other Power-damage-centric frame to a fight save possibly for utility.

Right now, Vauban, Nyx, Nova and Frost are the best frames for the hardest content in the game and extremely effective for most of the content of the game anyway that.

No amount of wishy-washy "playstyle" bullshit will change that.

That is, in part, why some people are calling certain skills OP, useless etc, BECAUSE THEY ARE OP OR RENDERED LARGELY USELESS. The funny thing about "Niche" is that it doesn't mean "underpowered" or "useless", it means "serves a function".

When people talk about, say Fire Blast, being useless, it's literally because there are other powers that are just flat out numerically superior to it in every way either due to bugs, overnerfing, overbuffing or some combination of those. Why on earth would I ever use Fireblast when I could Anti-Matter Drop with any half-decent weapon and do FAR more damage in a wider area for less energy?

Now, it's perfectly fine to find a neat method of using an otherwise bad or limited power (like how for a short while Loki's Switch Teleport actually had a use in cheesing Raptor to farm for Nova, even though there was an even better method discovered later), but sometimes, you cannot just ignore the raw numbers in front of you and accept that some things need to be rebalanced. BADLY.
