We got Energy Drain > Aetherflow because people didn't like the lockout in DWT that 4.0 brought.
That's a lot of assumptions.
Only thing we actually know we got cause of community was fix from 4.0 to 4.1
If current summoner is how square answers to feedback it's better for them to not do it ever at all.

It does not reward for maintaining DoTs cause DoTs are always up, it punishes for not having DoTs in situations where we have several adds like on current ex trials and in a bunch of other situations. Literally no reason for change like that. Not having dots which are like 14% of SMN damage + bad festers will punish them enough.
I myself said that I don't think current smn is as bad as 4.0 one but some things are just baffling. And they're just piling up more you think about it
