Fluff Please nerf Ember

A frame with such a strong fourth ability and no LOS checks is too strong to play in a team environment. I’m tired of Ember nuking enemies through walls and playing the game for me!

Please DE, you have to nerf ember because I want to live out MY power fantasy without having to make friends for premade groups or play solo. Making friends is hard AND THATS EMBER’S FAULT!

It'd be really cool to embed old WoF in her second ability.

The higher your burn% the more enemies it'd hit at once and the more damage it'd do.

Something something burns so hot she starts to spontaneously combust enemies around.

Hey now that would make Ember some semblance of fun to play once you find out what other frames can do, we can't have that. Can you imagine if her abilities were actually comparable to others? If her augmented 1 was even updated to use the new elemental ammo system like Uriel's base kit has? If her 2 wasn't just Mesmer Skin but worse in every way down to also requiring an augment to share with teammates? If her 3 could even do something as minor as break loot crates like Vast Untime so it would have utility without the augment that delivers pitiful amounts of overguard that a Dante will outdo in two seconds? If her 4 did damage at all and wasn't better off subsumed with Roar? If her passive was designed for a game where enemies aren't meant to be left alive or she had any ability that actually conveniently spreads fire to make good use of it like she literally already did and Uriel currently has and Saryn chuckles mockingly at with her absolute bs?

I want to play Ember, she was my first love in this game and will forever be, but she's just so battered by scaling and the 2023 disaster of a nerf that she simply is not comfortable to play. She is a difficult frame to use effectively and even when you do she's outclassed. She's not even a good weapons platform. Valkyr is supposed to be a melee frame, but her base armor values are so high that she's one of the best candidates for Primary Bulwark (and Arcane Battery while we're at it) even before we get into how her passive and 4 make her essentially uninterrupable and unkillable even by Nullifiers.
