What changes have in your opinion been unjustified? What about the more numerous buffs, the flip side of the coin we call balance, don't you appreciate them just as much as you dislike the nerfs?

Numerous buffs, yes. About 10% more damage for weapons still no one uses. They buffed the phaeston, the vindicator and other weapons more than once (sometimes thrice) and they still suck so bad that no one uses them. Eagle is a very good example. It's a commendation pack weapon, so only attainable every 2 weeks with rng. They buffed it thrice (if I recall it right) and it still is BS you can hang around the hip. Weapons are created only to get buffed the SAME DAY they came out (Piranha) only to get nerfed a week later or utterly destroyed (Typhoon). More example weapons that got killed are the Falcon or Krysae. Powers that were implemented from the beginning are still broken (Incinerate evo 6, CS evo 6 for example), even new characters get broken powers from the start (Snap Freeze, Shadow Strike, Kroguard Rage). Powers get buffed without adressing the main obstacles for using them (BC and the Vanguard glitch). Powers get killed because people were whining and crying about them, and when the numbers are accentuating this, the powers gets the hammer (TC), even if they were seemingly fine for months.

Sorry, but the "numerous buffs" can't even aspire to outweigh the heaviness of the nerfs. There is no balance, when a whole class and numerous weapons are practically unplayable off-host. And when a statement from official side (which I consider a BW-employee) provides "start hosting" as the only solution for those problems, it's getting ridiculous. When there's resorting to outright lies about powers (they stated in patch notes that the VG glitch was fixed) it's getting shameful.

So yeah, I don't see any balance when most things that are done are just plain BS. And all this is only off the top of my head, there's a lot of other stuff that needs to be adressed. Sadly, I've given up hope.
Keep in mind, that I love the game and have a lot of fun with it, but things like this make me sad. So no, I'm definitly not going to tell them what my favorite powers are, what my favorite guns , what my favorite classes are, what my favorite set-ups are and so on just so they fiddle around with them when a certain number of people seems to like them too. And it's not like I would not be able or capable to play this game anymore, I'm certainly good enough to make almost everything work (yes, I'm that cocky and self-assured) but no, I don't see the point in telling.

Sorry for this wall of text though.

I don't consider most changes that have been made to be  BS, and a number of the buffs have been substantial and just as game changing as the nerfs. A thread I didn't manage to dig up now because I couldn't remember the name of it did the math on this and proved it. Although I do feel that they went a bit too far with the Krysae (I've only used it twice myself, but at least that's what players whose opinion I value tell me) and possibly with the Typhoon (although this might be because of bugs rather than the stats of the gun), I would never let it get to me and I certainly don't suspect Bioware of wanting to nerf a power if a lot of people say they love it. To me that is paranoia, no doubt. 

Nerfs aren't a result of emotional sentiments, nor are they the product of trolling. You and I might disagree with Bioware on the changes they make, but their goal is the same as ours, to keep the game enjoyable. Also I don't think the charge glitch can be used as an argument in a discussion on balance, Bioware doesn't want it to work that way and they have said that in terms of bug fixes their top priority is to fix it.

Love shadow strike, love bringing that sword blow down on certain enemies.

Love krogan rage.

Love look and action of justicar bubble but sound effect when it ends makes me think i have suddenly been shield gated. haha.

Though technically not a power, krogan heavy melee with rage on is probably my favorite audio in the game, and the krogans in general are the most fun to hear in the game.

[Freskione2]

Only one? Not going to happen..

Shadow strike (love to kill those phantoms with it)

Learning to love Charge

Maybe not a 'power' per say but I love my combat drone.

[Shampoohorn]

Love the Power, Love the Implementation:
***Fire Explosions***
Biotic Charge (except for the bugs)
Cluster Grenades

Want to Love it, but mechanics are an issue:
Tech Armor (on detonation it should have an ally buff a la Pylon, Geth Turret). Currently vanilla, no jimmies.
Singularity: Awesome SP power, poor fit with MP enemy groups. Up the radius, kill the duration.
Wall Hack Powers: All of them should do reduced damage through walls.  Reduce the spammers.

Dislike or Disdain:
Submission Net. Slow, buggy, ineffective.
Lash: The ultimate troll power.
Fortification: Krogan soldier with blade armor would be spectacular.

The most fun is vorcha bloodlust. The vorcha dialogue and animations are hilarious even though the animations seem to occur at the inopportune times like when I am in cover fighting for my life.

But my favorite is still adrenaline rush.

[Scam_poo]

Lash. It's just damn entertaining to throw shielded enemies around with a < 3 second cooldown.

[Happy Shepard]

Tactical Scan. Those tiny little enemies.

Also: Smash, Lash, Ballistic Blades, Tech-Armor, Phase Disruptor, Barrier (wish more characters would have it), Flamer, Missile Launcher, Submission Net, Turrets and Drones. I really like killing things with my Supply Pylon, too.

Oh and Biotic Sphere. It's just so much fun to lure a banshee into it and then watch her explode.

I probably forgot a lot of fun powers, but just let me say this. There is barely any character i don't play (maybe that BF3 guy) and very often i even change the settings to silver to have fun with a character that isnot really effective on Gold.

[Ice Cold J]

Reave
Stasis
Shadow strike
Destroyer's missle launcher
Combat drone
Either turret
Energy drain.

If I HAD to pick one:

Stasis.

F*@& YOU, PHANTOM!!!

[MrsFlyingKebab]

Greyskull.


On a more serious note, Overload: just frazzle a bit while I shoot you please, oh, and your nearby frazzled friends while I'm at it.

[xGunKungFUx]

Pull is by my favorite... Pulling the last enemy around the map never gets old in my book

[NikkoJT]

Ballistic Blades, Overload, and Phase Disruptor would be my favourites. Throw is awesome too. shoop-FACEBOOP

[Aetika]

Reave

It primes, it detonates, it has AOE, it eats life and it makes my Justicar glow which is absolutely COOL!

[Pedactor]

The best power in the game is Reave with the Area evolution.

[Phoenix_Risen73]

Tie between Lash and Shadow Strike. I love watching enemies fly though the air and the ability to see a phantom and say "Yo, I got this" is great.

[Vlandis]

Lift Nades... they get me every time. I like taking them into a bronze or silver game maxed for force and watching enemies fly. Its even better if someone times a BE with it.

[ToadMan]

Overload.

[Noble 8]

Singularity(ME2 version)
Smash
Adrenaline rush

[Chris Brock]

Single player : biotic charge
Multiplayer : lash

[Chris Brock]

Or the slayer biotic blade

[Daynan]

Snap Freeze, especially since it's friendly to fire explosion, cryo explosion and their graphic/sound effects! =D

[donnyrides]

concussive shot. I love watching armorless/shieldless enemies go flying into the wall from this shot. What's not to love about it? sounds great, it's a tracking ability that hits enemies around corners and in cover and it's spam-able.

If only it could be used on Gold....

[Kaithalas]

Lash.

Overload I have so much fun with it when I'm using my Geth Engineer.
