Discovery 4.91 Patch 12 Balance Changes [12/6/2019]

Was it though? That feels subjective, saying this as someone who initially advocated for the nerf.

It was always known to be a problematic weapon, it just existed for a reason that we solved long ago but due to the fact that it existed we couldn't just remove it.

Had we the knowhow to do on the fly weapon damage adjustments in 2010, we would have.

Most of the concerns I had seen were more for lore reasons (>shooting anti-matter) and how it wasn't very bomber-like - not that the weapon was broken or gameplay breaking in any regard. Granted, I felt like it was problematic because of how it coupled with the respawn timer. It's been reduced since the nerf, so I don't feel like it's an as big problem anymore.
