Warframe general - Hydroid rework edition

Have you played with pirateframe again today? His abilities seem to all have improved on paper
Anyway,

Myself, after dissing riven mods to no end, I got my hands on a javlok riven. The javlok having my favorite albeit useless gimmick, it has become my new passion project to make this thing the best riven ever. So far I got a +150% damage and +50% damage to grineer on it. I can finally take it with me to sorties! But I'll keep rolling, just in case, 22 times now and counting.

what'd they do to him?

How does 60% smaller undertow sound to you? Because that's what hydroid gets to enjoy.

I just went and looked at the patch notes, and it seems they did about fuck all.

Apparently it can drag enemies with a tentacle while in puddle form. Tentacle adds a bit of rang to it. Don' know if it makes up for it. Seems to me like they want to keep player activity up when playing the game. All their rework changes so far have been made to keep alway from "press 4 to win" gameplay.
Embed show off his abilities on the first minutes, although the guy fails at casting tentacles while in puddle, for some reason.
Also, here are the patch notes:

General Hydroid Changes
Tempest Barrage:
Tidal Surge:
Undertow:
Tentacle Swarm:

...

Also, english is my second language, but goddamn I should proofread moer often. That seems awful even for me.

I've only ever given money to DE in one way, and it wasn't through platinum sales.

I think it is a good trade off for being about to drag everything to you with decent range but most people, the people that ONLY play hydroid for looting, are upset about his 4 working differently


I say the rework was good but course if it isnt insta killing lvl9999 things or locking down the entire map for 10 mins with zero effort people will say is bad. im not going to defend that his changes are going to work in favor of meta shitters like how people shitted themselves over how reworked saryn is better even through it was out right trash because its a mute point to even bother.

He still seems rather useless though. What is hydroid's purpose? He doesn't really deal damage, he doesn't really heal or support, he can CC but only by making it so his allies can't deal damage to enemies anymore or making them difficult to hit. He kinda has the same problem pre rework limbo does, just less trolly.
