You are kidding, right? Did you even play awak valk before succ came out? I've played awak for 3 years and when i tried succ, just out of curiosity, it felt like playing tetris compared to awak. Proper awak movement takes more keys than 1 bread and butter succ combo. With all that movement protection, acc modifiers, resist passive and cc potential succ is still very easy to play. Boring actually. 

Succ valk is obviously way easier than awakening, so much so, its boring. The shield throw nerf was bound to happen, was op with how many times it CC'd.

I do agree heaven's echo nerf is dumb af, they could've just fixed succ valk's skill damage/acc for pvp. If anything, people will just get rebam heal for the acc, and it just negates playstyle choice. 

Yeah I am not sure what world anyone is from if they think succ is easier to play and master than awake. It's the complete opposite. Succ was basically a streamline lower skill cap version. It's got the most broken passives, solid mobility, all it's combos and cancel are smooth and easy while it does insane damage. Also a geared succ valk in a duel is basically a god if they aren't a potato.
