Any hot takes or opinions you have on Warframe?
Any hot takes or opinions you have on Warframe?
Anything that you think is unpopular about balance, story, or just any changes you would like to see
Personally my biggest one might not even be controversial, but I don't like shield gating being used as a primary method of survivability and I don't like seeing people recommend it to new players when they reach the point where staying alive is a concern. I know it's "optimal" for some frames but just feels cheesy to me.

Light attack (12x combo count) melees need a Reach/Primed Reach buff. Prenerf memeing strike would be too high but what we have now is too low. Melee was once the go-to scaling option before weapon arcanes and galvanized mods. Now primaries and secondaries have similar scaling, more aoe/killrate, and less button spam. Only heavy attack melees that delete hallways in a few keypresses (Glaive Prime, Cerata, Stropha) can compete with all that.
I also feel like Contagion Zaws are too good. Balla, Sepfahn and Dehtat/Keewar all let you mix a ridiculous viral/tox nuke with a powerful forced slash heavy, and ridiculous finishers for Balla and Dehtat/Keewar.
I basically stopped using anything but Balla because it just solves every problem in the game. I don't think it needs to be nerfed, I think other melees need to be brought back up somehow. The only dedicated melee frame I still play is Ensnare Loki.
