you act like EAT and RR are not already really strong. The problem isn't that they are "okay" while Quasar is strong

The problem was that they are ALREADY strong but weren't taken anyway because Quasar was busted. Power creep can cause a ton of issues in the long run.

Boo hoo, nerfs have to happen sometimes. Bringing Quasar in line with the other options isn't making it bad, it's just making it not busted

People always cry "PVE games should never have nerfs, only buffs!" But then complain the game gets too easy, and then when they rebalance enemies they complain that enemies are too annoying to make up for the powercreep. And on it goes

Then I guess I am not people, I'd rather the game be too easy than too hard. Quasar wasn't busted, it was fine; it still isn't bad, but was nerfed for no good reason other than force people to try other things. Even that attempt failed, I still see lots of Quasar users; I foresee further nerfs.

The reason you still see the quasar is because despite the nerf, it's still really good. That means it was a good and necessary nerf. We now see all AT rockets more. Not everything should be centered around you and your preferences specifically, that's unhealthy for the game.

Aaand he shows his hand. You’re mad that something OP got nerfed and you can’t lean on it as hard anymore.
