Solo, Fireteam, and Pinnacle Ops feel much more stressful and frustrating than before 9.1.5.1 because of the Delta Caps.
When I play with friends who are over 500, Ultimate has felt really bad, as the constantly-appearing, harder-to-stun Champions have made Fireteam Ops stressful and overwhelming.
Delta Caps in 9.1.5.1 have removed the choice of difficulty level when seeking any progress or meaningful reward, and gaining power beyond 450 seems only harmful.
I am only interested in Tier 5 drops now that I'm above 450 Power. Before Delta Caps, I could choose Player Stakes and other modifiers to be around 10 Power above enemies. I was still forced into Grandmaster difficulty, but it was manageable. Gaining Power also made activities easier within each range of 100.
Delta Caps make Portal activities painful and frustrating, they take away player choice of difficulty, and they make Power gains punishing instead of rewarding. Please remove them.

Since the change power grind is much easier and I've done a couple of ultimates under 500 with two players over 500 and had no issues. So maybe the builds you are using aren't working. Things are easier now under grandmaster and ultimate then when they where introduced. I find when I go into some of these hard level things if I'm with players that don't have any skills or poor builds or why the run fails today. Last week I went from 4:50 to know 5:10 as of today.
