In previous patches, the weapon I was using on my current playthrough at the time was debuffed. I remember reading reddit comments about how it's unusable now.
I never noticed a difference. Continued using the weapon. Beat the game.
People tend to focus on pvp viability, I find. You can beat the game without a weapon at all, if you want (although it's miserable :P), literally anything is infinitely better than that, and more than enough to beat the game with.
Can it really be that big of a difference in PvP though? I've never done PvP. Well, once on an early playthrough to do Varré's quest. But, once they added the NPC who counts for that quest, never again.
I think people are looking for anything to blame but themselves for why they lose PvP matches.
It matters more, for sure, (pvp balance is tighter, frame data matters more, etc) but yeah, johns are johns. :P People will always prefer to blame basically anything over their own ability.
