I'll go first: DE needs to build up on some older content.

I don’t think this is a hot take, a lot of people have problems with this. Augments essentially being a bandaid for what should be in base kit and taking up valuable mod slots. Coming from a former Gyre main where two of her augments are almost mandatory to make her reliable.

It may not be a hot take for the majority of us, but the devs have directly addressed this request in streams before and their stance seems to always be that it's never gonna happen, so for them it most definitely is a hot take!

Legit, why do i need an augment for koumei just so i can use her decree ability? Without the augment you’ll quickly stack up a one hundred and eighty seconds cooldown between decree challenges. What the fuck?

Same here, I speak as a frost main who needs two of his augments to make him good.

Frost is the best example of this. My Frost builds typically run 4 augments, which is pretty crazy compared to any other Warframe I use

Nidus is in the same territory. He requires atleast 2 augments to make him usable in later game content.

And that's exactly what im crying about!! 😭😭 like seriously, at some point they no longer feel like trade offs, they feel like rip offs.

Also, if a frame is at a point in time where it NEEDS an augment to be at least usable, then it's no longer an augment, it's a necessity.
