The problem for me wasn't the damage decrease (Destiny)

It was the combination of the damage decrease with the lack of the ability to stick them to a person. If they had decreased the damage but you could still kill someone at full health and max armor by sticking them with it, I'd have understood. If they'd increased the damage so it killed anyone not using a super and made it so you can't stick it to someone, I'd have understood. But decreasing the damage AND the lack of sticking makes me stick with Nightstalker instead.

As a comparison, a lightning grenade can stick on a wall and kill multiple people over a period of time (I know, I've done it), and now a tripmine can only kill opponents right as it explodes, and many of them can even survive anyway with max armor (not to mention you can often survive running full speed through it). It was a HUGE nerfing of a grenade I've never heard anyone complain about.

Edit: Just wanted to add, technically max armor could previously survive a tripmine, but they had to be max, anything less and you died. Now you can have even lower armor.
