Tripmines couldn't kill before or now. Throwing knife got nerfed for no reason. Bladedancer got smacked. Titans and Warlocks, however, got hit with a pool noodle in comparison.
Edit: the replies are pouring in, thanks!
Edit #2: When I say tripmines don't kill, I mean against any guardian with a decent amount of armor, since 197 will not kill at least some guardians. I went to tripmine for a couple games, then immediately switched back to incendiary, mostly because it doesn't matter what armor you are 205 damage will kill every time
Edit #3: Wow. Incendiaries got ninja nerfed. It's like they're ramming swarm grenade down our throats. Instead of doing 7 damage per tick, now it does 4. 170 + (4*5) is 190, barely enough to kill a low armor guardian.

I used to get plenty of kills with trip mines; they were great if you used them smartly. And every time I ever got killed by them it was a good/lucky toss, or it was my fault for not paying attention to the giant flashing laser beam they showed off Now they're pointless garbage. I played one game, had literally less fun than ever in my life, and am pretty much done with crucible for the foreseeable future.
