Borderlands 4 finally has its long-awaited nerf-heavy update after a couple of delays, and a little bit like going to the dentist, it's not as bad as you'd imagined. While there are some nerfs that are the result of Gearbox's admitted overtuning, most of the tweaks are aimed at taking down broken builds instead of simply making them less powerful for the sake of it.
With the game's first major balance update, Gearbox reiterates in the patch notes that the intent has always been "to provide you the greatest number of viable builds."
