Molecular Prime isn't really the same thing. Yes, it's a damage buff in an indirect sense, but the buff is applied on the affected enemies, not the squad/frames - neither Nova, nor the rest of the squad.

I can state that this is still true though, from 2 personal examples I've confirmed myself. First, if a Volt drops an Electric Shield then Volt doesn't get credit when his squadmates fire through it for all the bonus electric damage they are doing - the squadmates do, since all that bonus damage doesn't exist without them firing their own guns through the shield. Second, I can also say with certainty that when using Oberon's Smite Augment, the additional Radiation damage counts towards the damage of the person doing the shooting, not Oberon.

In all cases though the kill is attributed to whoever fired the bullet (or swung the melee weapon or whatever) that actually depleted the final 1hp from the enemy. No bullet means no bonus damage applied to bullet, so the person doing the shooting gets credit for the kill no matter if it's buffed or not, and even if the bullet wouldn't have killed the target without the buffed damage.

tl;dr You're right dude, some people just can't appreciate a Rhino that's actually useful. Yes, sure, Iron Skin YOLOs suck, but I'll take a Rhino that keeps Roar active any day. (And the CC with high Stomp duration now is useful in a group, too.)
