Nowhere I read anything about a nerf, but more so a buff to melee.
Then I wondered why my emergency-i'm-too-dumb-for-this-game-chain didn't work anymore.
Before the patch the description said

This was a great source of fun for noobs like me. Now it's back to kinda useless again.
I'll never get why PvE things get nerfed unless badly exploitable.
Bungie changed all refund abilities to now be based on the stat they correlate to. Like throwing hammer no longer refunds the hammer till tier 7. Though they also put a pickup delay on it.
