Bungie, instead of just reverting antaeus wards back to how they originally worked, why did you make them almost useless?

Back when antaeus wards came out, they weren't the best, but depending on your playstyle they could be very good. I used them almost exclusively from season 5 on once I realized how good they were. Of course when they were buffed they were OP and everyone jumped aboard, but the truth is they were always GOOD.

Now? I hate to say it, but they suck. There's no reason for this. As someone who really liked the exotic, Im saddened by this. They were always a competitive option if you knew what you were doing (I was able to solo que to get unbroken using these things). There was never anything wrong with them until they were buffed, so why didn't they simply get reverted back to how they were?

Sincerely, An ex-antaeus ward main.
