If you had to pick a character to remove from the game forever, which character would it be?
If you pick a base character then the prime gets removed as well, the better version cant exist without the base version, however if you remove a prime version then the base character can still exist. My personal pick would be Valkyr due to how [IMO] useless she seems
The post description sounds like it means "Warframe", but I'd be really interested to see what the story would be like without Ballas, the single big bad orokin who personally caused so many of the events of the plot. I'm more interested in the aftermath of the orokin system than the villainy of one man.
Chroma. His 2 and 3 are unhealthy design that completely overshadow his more flavorful 1. His 4 is a summon pinata that doesn't make Chroma himself feel more like a dragon compared to, say, Shyvana R from League of Legends.
I'd like to see him actually fly like Titania 4 and have every ability feel like part of his fantasy (like Sevagoth). Add to that the burden of working in his elemental subtheme (hence "Chroma"), and a total rework akin to deleting the OG Chroma sounds better and better.
Yeah, as a dragon frame Chroma doesn't deliver on being a dragon in the slightest (western or eastern dragon). His 1 is more of a spit than actual breathing fire/ice/etc. and the rest of his abilities have nothing to do with being a dragon. Zephyr is more of a dragon than Chroma is.
What don't you like about her? Raksh is a pretty good ability, and she works well with equilibrium. She's not meta but I think there's a lot of frames worse than her.
She's squishy, her damage is bad, and her abilities are finicky. She's not good at anything. She's not terrible at anything, I'll give her that, but in order for that to be acceptable she needs to be good at at least one thing and she isn't.
She can't do stealth so her first ability is just a gimick.
Her second ability would be amazing on something like a chromatic blade Excalibur build, but sadly it isn't her helminth ability. On voruna it's once again a gimick as the status effects themselves don't do much and so function merely to make her other abilities not suck.
Her third ability is just worse Dispensary.
Her fourth ability is the only one that's somewhat good, but even in that case it's worse than most other warframes abilities as it requires using her second ability first (on multiple enemies), and requires that it be able to deal enough damage on every attack to kill its target which means you need to be careful about the order you use it against enemies. If everything lines up perfectly it can do almost as much damage as most well moded guns. Assuming you can get it off before you're killed anyway.
She's just an all around underwhelming frame that accels at nothing. People keep ragging on Chroma for thematic reasons, which fair enough, but at least he's super tanky and provides some very nice group buffs (he was better before the rework when you could use vex armor to quickly buff weapon damage to ridiculous levels). Chroma could certainly be better, but I'd still rather bring him than Voruna any day. At least I'd live long enough to get some kills.
She's not that bad though. She got some changes that made a 'pounce' build worthwhile, if a bit slow (using her 1, 2, and 4). It could use a smidgen of a boost to really excel but it's a decent option overall. You slap roar over her 3rd and prime with her 2, and you can easily hit 4 million damage from a single strike of her 4 (so I recommend range so you hit more enemies instead).
She's not like Frost who needs all of his augments integrated or Chroma who's a dragon without the dragon part, both frames 'taking up the theme' and being DE's excuse to not have a better frame/kit designed for a dragon/ice themed frame.
I really think Limbo was a bad idea in general. He's a very clunky frame that causes frustration for the rest of the squad, with the amount depending on how much the Limbo player is willing to actively try to mitigate it. When his abilities are able to consistently function they have also historically completely trivialised game modes. There's not even a good way to fix these issues without turning him into a different frame entirely.
I respect your opinion, however as someone who likes Valk, and often mains her, I wouldn't want her removed.
I think most Warframes have a place in the game honestly. Maybe my pick would be Excalibur since we have Styanax now but I'm sure there's some Excalibur lovers around. Also, on the topic of Excalibur, would that mean I ALSO would remove Excalibur Umbra and Excalibur Prime, or just excal prime? Because If not then we also have umbra as a backup.
It makes me angry for Valkyr that they nerfed Hysteria, then turned around later and buffed Revenant's Mesmer Skin; and her claws can't slash while Garuda gets better Valkitty Klaws due to being the only exalted melee in the game that gets acolyte mods.
Excal still has a place in being the funny number melee frame. Nobody else gets to stack as many melee buffs as swordy boi.
umbra would still be considered as a prime version, because he came later in the game and was based off of excalibur himself, so he would get removed if base excalibur got removed
I'm one of the probably 6 people who actually genuinely like Inaros, but he's definitely the character I think people would miss the least if I had to pick a frame.
Octavia. She's been broken for so long and is still not nerfed, makes any mission into a joke... That or everyone in fortuna, I hate farming Solaris standing.
Eh, a lot of people say Octavia is broken but she comes at a massive QoL cost and has issues in public play when enemies start spewing AoE. Even ignoring that, her mallet is slower than a guy with a good gun outside of endurance, and the game should never be balanced around endurance. I think she's fine where she is as she's not functionally any stronger than Saryn or Mesa in normal play.
Octavia IS broken. Just the mere fact that she has an infinitely recastable 0 drawback invisibility makes her broken as in wf, invisibility might as well be invincibility... QoL doesn't matter if she can be invisible the whole game and pump out literally unlimited damage while staying in 1 spot, pressing 1, 2 and 3 every 40 seconds...
as someone who mains Octavia I take great offense to this because you're clunking all of us together, some of us just use her casually and not try and break the game entirely just because we can
