I think Bungie has a great opportunity to introduce champion effects on select older exotics. This could be coming down the line, who knows. But it would definitely shake up the PvE meta significantly.
Trace Rifles are the perfect example. Would you agree that all Trace Rifles should have overload as a feature?
Here are a few other examples of other exotics that could use similar treatment. The nature and feel of the guns lend themselves to the mods.
[u][b]Overload:[/b][/u]

Bonus Note for Thunderlord: Thunderlord should have a catalyst that allows you to switch element types via node swtiching similar to how Suros switches between Dual Speed Receiver and Spinning Up. Of course, the solar node would make the gun [armory]Abaddon[/armory], as the void would make it [armory]Nova Mortis[/armory]. There you go, three exotics in one Bungie.
