Tyranny of the majority.
Many of us like the nerfs. Brings balance and promotes variety.

But there's the problem; it doesn't promote variety whatsoever. Whisper of the Worm and super-regenerating Exotics aren't overused because they're the best options; they're overused because they're the only good ones. Nerfing Skull of Dire Ahamkara won't make me use Wings of Sacred Dawn. Nerfing Ursa Furiosa won't make me use Eternal Warrior. Nerfing Shards of Galanor won't make me use Mechaneer's Tricksleeves. These nerfs, without any accompanying buffs to the useless Exotics, will do absolutely nothing for diversity. The meta will remain precisely the same, everyone is just slightly weaker. Never in any circumstance will I ever think, "Damn, I only get half of my Super back now. Guess hovering in mid-air for a short time is a significantly better option!" No, that doesn't happen. I'm not angered by the nerfs, I'm angered by the lack of buffs and how utterly pointless these changes will be if several buffs are not applied alongside them.

Well said. Nerfherders are so annoying.
