What should we do about Inaros?

Inaros is nothing more than a stat stick with his innately-high effective health. That used to mean a lot more in the past than it does now, especially with shield gating and all of that. It's fun to exploit Hunter's Adrenaline and Gladiator mods etc. but it's so outclassed at this point. Desiccation is his one good ability but even the CC+finisher damage is never preferrable over spamming Peacemaker or Whipclaw. He had the exclusive niche revival mecanic which was garbage in the first place and now there's Nidus/Sevagoth who can revive more reliably. No hate because I used to consider myself an Inaros one-trick but his playstyle is not only mundane to begin with but is now subpar as well and is in serious need of changes.

But what changes should be made to Inaros then? Should they fix his abilities to give him actual meta relevance (crit damage, better revive mechanic, radial CC, damage multipliers)? Or, should DE capitalize on the health pool/no shield that made him appealing in the first place? I find myself leaning towards the latter; he still has the niche of innate tankiness independent from nullification that he's had since his release, and that's truly what I feel is what his capabilities should revolve around. A scaling augment or ability (+max crit damage and/or max health on finisher kills?) would unlock his potential in late endurance in steel path, which would be fun. On the contrary, maybe they could give him a better revival mechanic than what Nidus has. I'm just curious to know what other players feel about Inaros because he's remained as a very distinctive warframe with unique mechanics that have been outdated for a long time now.
