The removal of Viper positionals would have been preferred over removing Noxious Gnas

Basically title. I was in the camp that I wasn't going to be happy that Viper was going to be changed so soon after release, but I figured it was most likely going to affect Dreadwinder which I feel like I could get over it pretty easily.

The removal of Noxious Gnash; however, is a change that I feel was made prematurely.

I was honestly expecting to review the patch notes and to see that Noxious Gnash had its timer increased to 60s to help with the burst window and to have Dreadwinder positionals removed. I feel like this was the most obvious change and likely to be the change best received by a majority of the playerbase.

The developers stated that the player feedback on positionals is what caused them to forgo the changes they were planning. I feel like them not mentioning Noxious Gnash was on the chopping block as well prevented player feedback from getting to them since it seems most people are not okay with this change either.
