I've always felt that limitations on what you could shove onto your warframe made build choices more meaningful. While its nice to dream of slotting 6 optimised prime mods and 3 umbral mods, the fact that we've needed to ration mod point spending to fit one or two umbra mods onto warframes has made my build process more thoughtful then before.

Before the release of these umbral forma, I'd have said that DE could have released umbral versions of popular mods such as stretch or streamlined as though these would be OP mods, the fact that you'd need to make other build sacrifices to slot them would prevent builds from getting overly powerful (relatively speaking).

I do agree that the forma system is a bit outdated though. Instead of overwritting the polarity of mod slots on warframes, there should be an option to add additional attunements to individual mod slots (so instead of overwriting the Maduraia polarity of a mod slot with Umbral polarity, the slot would instead have both Madurai and Umbral polarity). Perhaps make this upgrade exclusive to primed warframes or umbral warframes.
