Nitr0 is right, which really shouldn’t be surprising. I’m also not surprised to see this, since the whole point in the price change seems to be to make it so you can’t buy armor. But in pro matches most players weren’t buying frenzy + armor, they are buying frenzy + util. Some jetts and omens ran frenzy + armor but it wasn’t the dominant meta. This just makes it so your team get less utility when everyone on your team buys frenzys. You can’t get paranoia armor either, but I feel like this might just push those Jett and omen players that we’re doing frenzy + armor into just buying a sheriff.

We're still going to be keeping an eye on the Frenzy after this change, this was just the easiest change that we could ship quickly and confidently on the timelines we were working under. If the gun continues to need nerfs after this point, rest assured we'll adjust it.

That being said - those changes almost certainly will not take place during this master's tournament. We're front-loading changes here so we can step back and not be disruptive while master's is going on.
