The State of Exotics

[b][u]Trigger warning;[/u][/b] Non-meta opinions incoming. Why is it that [b]every[/b] exotic is being nerfed to [b]dust[/b]? Is it because of the loud [b]minority[/b], those youtubers/streamers with their [b]"THIS IMMORTAL GOD BUILD MUST TRY!!!!!"[/b] videos where they showcase a build with a specific exotic and making it [b]appear[/b] oh so great and people just [b]eat it up[/b]. (Anything can be manipulated to appear amazing, especialy with video editing) Yes it is the [b]LOUD[/b] minority because there are a lot of people not watching those youtubers/streamers and who do not [b]share their opinions[/b]. They probably don't even roam these forums, the only reason I am here is because I just had to get these thoughts out there. Which is why I don't expect much traction. We all have our vaults [b]FULL[/b] of exotics that are just gathering dust because they have been [b]nerfed to oblivion[/b], they in no way shape or form live up to their name of being "A more powerful weapon or equipment" Now I am not saying that some exotics where not too powerful and needed a nerf/balancing[b] but there is a limit[/b]. One reasent [b]unpopular[/b] exotic comes to mind, the [b]"Lorelay Splendor Helm"[/b] First the [b]nerf[/b] to proc the class ability and then the [b]nerf[/b] to healing so now it just gives the standard restoration effect ([b]which you get from all sun spots[/b]) AND [b]procs your class ability cooldown without actualy getting a benefit from the class ability i.e no shield walll[/b], talk about a nerf to dust. I don't know about you, but to me that sounds pretty [b]underwhelming[/b] compared to exotics like [b]"Heart of Inmost Light"[/b]. LSH is an unwelcoming edition to our fine [b]dusty vault collection[/b]. And I am sure there are many more examples of potentialy great and fun exotics that have just been [b]obliterated[/b] by the LOUD minority. Rant/thoughts/opinions, call it what you will, over.
