Why do people keep asking for the Engineer to be nerfed?

The concrete launcher does less damage, and no longer explodes on impact (unless you directly hit an enemy). And you can no longer shoot while quickly jack hammering around the enemy. All this actually makes it harder to 1v1 then it used to be. As for his abilities; the turret was just as powerful before (if not more so) and that damage boost only applies to teammates, and the stun from his megaphones is just as long as before. He has definitely been re-tooled to be even more of a support class now then he was before.
The XP Battle Chest change is incredibly disappointing. It was the best way to make some character actually viable without taking an extraordinarily excessive amount of time. It seems really silly to nerf something like that.
EDIT: As an aside, is there a way to suggest this card be added to the Trello board? This is an unnecessary nerf that feels like it doesn't help a player at all. Is there a way to see if it can be added to the board and have members vote on whether it should be reverted to how it was before or not?
I log in, I cannot see my chars! Been happening for 3 weeks now. This is a game stopper!!
