No cleave/everyone has AOE, no shadow fury, 1 bubble class - I mean, all you really had to deal with was line of sight.

The burst was waaaaay lower which is what made the comp so good - as 4 elemental shamans back then we could burst people before everyone could.

And in season 10 we will be saying the same things in general about 4xmelee burst that has recently been discovered to work due to IWT changes, just like when ellay showed everyone that shaman burst worked back then.

"it was so easy back then, you didn't have to deal with what we have now"...

Someone showed you what they found to work, and you copied it. It wasn't easy before that, and it wasn't easy for the originator to figure out how to get it to work. Being a copycat isn't as impressive as the guy who put in the work to solve all of the problems for you. So, give credit where credit is due.
