Speedster Damage is Unthematic

I love Speedster for how strong it is, but I dislike how centralizing in power it is. It turns already the most important stat in the game into optimized DPS.

Speedster should do Fire Rate, Reload Speed, and Draw Speed with no damage boost. It's in the name. Most cards in the game have been great at doing what they say on the tin (e.g. Lazy + Consumer = throwing away Amazon packages worth of ammo).

Speedster ruins build variety when all I see is Speedster, Disgraced, Speedy Gunzales. Damage and Fire Rate both contribute to DPS multiplicatively, reducing unoptimized setups. Weapons benefit too much from Speedster's damage boost as it changes breakpoints without downsides (Chonky, Glass Cannon, Consumer). There is reduced nuance, choice, or sacrifice when Speedster builds for you.

Not trying to rant, I am really enjoying the game. I want to try other builds and enjoy experimenting.
