I feel your frustrations @prologue1337. It feels like so many cool and unique mechanics have been nerfed into utter uselessness over time.
I feel a strong melancholy when I think about the Sword of Crom now. At this point it is just another generic greatsword with nothing to set it apart. Oh wait it has its ‘quirk’, which is lower durability than an iron greatsword. Yay. 
Now like so many other unique and interesting Legendaries, for example the Lifeblood Spear and the Act of Violence, and so many in game features, such as repair kits and pets, they have devolved into a state of utter irrelevance.
Thirty ‘likes’ for calls not to change it but hey, they did it anyway. So much for listening to feedback. And it wasn’t enough to merely apply the change to new Swords of Crom gathered and let the rest fade out of circulation naturally over time. Noooo, we had to nerf the ones with weapon kits on them too so that Singleplayers and people on Private Servers couldn’t continue having fun with the legacy versions either. And that really irks me. Yes I am being pretty, darn negative here, at a time when I am trying to go back to my usual positive self. But in this case frankly I don’t care and I make no apology. Many of these nerfs stink to high heaven, and so does what they did to the Sword of Crom. It deserved better.
