i dont mind champions as much as i do the mods themselves, with us getting basically 2 new weapon archetypes within these next 3 months (Legendary trace rifles + Glaives), we need more champion mods to even it out, this season gives us 8 anti champ weapons, while there are 16 weapon types in the game itself, so half of those weapons are essentially useless unless they intrinsically have anti champion on them.
I think the best solutions to this problem is two things:
A. Weekly Anti-Champion perks rotation, basically, the artifact no longer has the first 5 mods, they are just intrinsically enabled on those weapon types for that week until it rotates to different guns, this keeps champions extremely fresh to fight, while still allowing strong mods like focusing lens and high cost anti champ weapons like overload sword to exist.
B. Just add more mods, a ton of perks on the artifact are just flat out worthless, replace them with champion mods.
