1.   Scrambler Shellcap very weak

 

Spoiler

  

this helmet is trash, it breaks from any damage.

 

it should only break from heavy damage, similar to how this armor activates

2.  The player's poisonous puddles should deal damage to poisonous creatures

Spoiler

 

this bow is absolutely useless in this place

  

at the same time, freezing works in all locations, even in an icy location

 

 

 

this bow creates large pools of poison, which can be a problem in multiplayer, especially when playing with random people

3. boring one button spam 

Spoiler

 

There are good examples of secondary abilities in the game that require you to use your main weapon to activate 

 

However, some abilities only require pressing a button 

 

The problem with these abilities is that you either play with them only through the ability or only through the weapon. abilities do not require the use of weapons, and weapons, with some exceptions, do not synergize with abilities in any way. 

 

This one picture can describe your entire gameplay with these abilities... it's very boring 

 

for example, this ability allows you to go through the entire game even naked and without perks, standing still and pressing one button on the keyboard.  

These perks are almost not even situational

 4.  some things take too long to break

Spoiler

 

 

The game already has enough equipment and perks that require breaking environmental objects, but some environmental objects are too durable 

 

 

these objects should break much faster after the fight ends

5. Bullrog Gauntlets 

Spoiler

 

 

These 2 pieces of equipment together with the bow allow you to safely increase the damage to huge numbers, with the help of this breastplate you can easily go through super frenzy even without perks

6.  metaprogression in super frenzy

Spoiler

  

why are you doing this, klei? 

 

7. less variability 

Spoiler

 

The nerfs from super frenzy make the game less variable, and forces you to rely more on your starting gear than on the synergy between skills, due to the fact that the prices are higher and there is no free healing and upgrade. as a result, the game in super frenzy is more monotonous. 

 

the game also becomes more monotonous due to the fact that all the enemies are elite

In my opinion the poison pools made by players need to be completely different from naturally spawned ones, such as no friendly fire or more damage to enemies.

It feels like using melee weapons in difficult stages are too risky with less advantages, especially compared to ranged weapons with these two armors. Not getting hit is the single most important thing in difficult stages where a single hit from enemies can literally cut your hp by half. And that's what ranged weapon are good at, and they can even utilize such huge damage buff from those armors. 

I personally would like to see some innate damage reduction to all kinds of melee weapons, despite it's unlikely to be happened.
