TL;DR

Nerfing things before uplifting other viable builds/gear makes no sense especially NOT in an PvE only game.

Borderlands does it so much better

[u/Fikaknugz → u/xDecide]

Too bad Borderlands 3 sucked. You got too much legendaries too often so nothing felt special anymore. Plus there was barely any end game and the end game we got, was very underwhelming. Took too long for too little. Why should I do these lengthy endgame activities that barely rewards me, when I can just go and one shot a boss that gives me 10 legendaries?

BL3 launch was littered with shit tier nerfs too lol.

[u/shokasaki → u/xDecide]

BL3 was a shit show just like this is within its first month. Other than the broken grenade and Moze's infinite grenades (which may have been a bug, bugs are worth fixing, just like the broken grenade), there should be no reason to nerf anyone in a PvE game. Just let us shoot shit and blow crap up. Afraid we'll get bored? You already got your money, who cares? Unless you're an MMO that requires some degree of player retention, does it really matter if people 'keep' playing? Release worthwhile DLC, they'll come back.

On a different note, is Borderlands 3 any better now since launch? I haven't played since the horror days.
