I'm actually happy Mimic got nerfed. My issue with the endgame (other than Malenia) is that bosses are either way too hard solo, or way too easy with Mimic or a similarly busted summon. Nerfing Mimic clarifies FromSoft's intent for me: we were always supposed to use summons, and the fights were balanced with this in mind. This raises the difficulty of endgame bosses with Mimic/summons closer to a balanced level, where victory feels meaningful.

...now they just need to nerf Malenia herself, since she was either too hard with a strong summon, or insanely difficult without one. But we're part of the way there, and I'm hopeful they'll adjust in a future patch.
