That's the thing though: She is decent at doing aoe damage, but there are frames that outclass her heavily (Volt/Saryn/Equinox), and those frames dont need support to delete rooms but become godlike with and actual team (unlike Garuda). She also has the bloody melee warframe theme, but that is arguably better suited for Valkyr (altough you could argua that valkyr is "hot blooded massacre" and garuda is "cold blooded killer", it still overlaps in my opinion).

She simply, in my opinion, does not have a niche in the meta (both thematic & actual gameplay wise), and there is just no situation where I would say that Garuda should be taken over another warframe.

That does not mean that she is garbage tier (aka Wukong/Zephyr tier) though, and the recent buffs only helped in that regard.
