Kurama got nerfed in more ways than one. He got nerfed personality-wise by quickly changing from a malevolent being who manipulated Naruto in releasing him (allowing him to wreak havoc on the world again) to a fallen child of the Sage who's tired of being treated like shit and easily falls to Naruto's kindness in a single day. He also changed from being the most powerful being in the Naruto world that no one could defeat to being merely the largest portion of an even more powerful beast that easily falls to a barrage of gigantic Rasengans (the Rasenshuriken is understandable though) and a friggin' invisible kick to the face.

4. Kakashi

The Copy Ninja. The man who's learned more than a thousand techniques through the eye given to him by a fallen comrade. Suddenly sees no point in copying techniques anymore once he can use Kamui, and relies solely on his Raikiri, which his Sharingan allows him to use. Loses his Sharingan to Madara and gets no chance of ever getting it back (even after having become Obito's jinchuuriki for a short time). Now sees himself as useless because he doesn't have the Sharingan and can't perform Raikiri, despite the nigh-countless collection of techniques he's learned and could choose a new signature technique out of.

3. We also find he was essentially manipulated to attack the Leaf by Obito and not of his own free will. That cripples a lot of the viability he used to have.

4. The guy who can copy over a thousand techniques never bothered learning Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation. Aside from his moral compass, what was really stopping him from fighting fire with fire by reanimating some strong allies when he saw what Kabuto and Obito were up to?
