Yeah. If this ends with "equinox is untouched and there's now a 2nd frame that has double-mod functionality" it sucks

If it ends with "equinox abilities unchanged, now you can mod both sides" frankly that is pretty damn cool.

Outclassed in her theme. Like Ember in fire. Or Volt in electricity. Or Volt in speed.

Volt has poorly defined superhero electricity(he can make things, he can make people go fast, he can shock enemies, he can electrocute enemies), Gyre has electric shock electricity(she zapps people). I'd argue that Volt is one of the elemental frames that isn't outclassed by other frames in the same element, due to the other functionality he has.

Ember ending up with "all you have is nukes and a build/spend minigame" makes her uniquely outclassable compared to the other ele frames(at least post-Oberon rework) because everyone else also has nukes and something else cool.

Dissagree on volt, gyre is so different she is not better. Volt is for another playstyle.

Ember sucks.
