These are all good changes but I can't help but feel like they are missing the forest for the trees. I personally don't use companions for their damage output or sth like that, and I doubt the majority does either - I use them for vacuum, for enemy/loot radar, and for charm. Everything else is pretty much irrelevant, we don't really need them to do damage or cc enemies or buff our warframes or strip armor or anything of the sort, warframes do it better, faster and overall more reliably.
Them addressing survivability is a good thing but they seem to be missing the point of why it mattered in the first place. Sure, my kubrow will now be more difficult to kill and it can always be revived... but do I have any reason, besides flavor, to take it over smeeta, vulpaphyla or even the djinn?
And that's all assuming that doubling their EHP is enough and that they still provide vacuum while incapacitated (which Pablo didn't want to say yet if it was the case). If they keep dying and not giving constant vacuum uptime, then panzer still automatically wins every time?
Also, we got new redtext very fast!
Can't believe 44 mad lads actually bought it for 10k plat
