They could give better markerlights to another army.
Wait they already did, Triarch stalkers for nercons...
They could give every army the ability to run, giving us less time to shoot.
Wait they did, 5th edition...
They could make other armies shoot better than us at shooting, and not suck in melee.
Oh yea, imperial guard, space wolves, hell blood angels...
No GW has already put the screws to Tau.

Give them more dedicated CC units and characters than shooting units and characters. And then make the shooty fellows suck.

Get rid of Crisis Suits as HQs. Write fluff about Aun'Va being the smartest, most powerful General in the universe and then don't change his rules. Reveal that Commander Farsight is a C'tan. Make the Kroot a fast attack choice. Give all Fire Warriors mandatory Pulse Carbine and make them pay extra for Pulse Rifles.

I should have left him there. He had served his purpose. He owed me nothing - yet he gave himself to me willingly. Why? I know not. He is nothing more than a pathetic human. An inferior race. A mon-keigh. But still I broke off my wings so that I might carry him easier. I took him from that place, into the snowstorm where our tracks will not be found. He is heavy. And he is dying. And he is slowing me down. But I will save him. Why? I know not. He is still warm. I can feel his blood ebbing across me. For every beat of his heart, another, slight spill of heat. The heat blows away on the winter wind. His blood is still warm. But fading. And I have spilled scarlet myself. The snow laps greedily at our footsteps and our lifeblood, covering them without a trace as we fade away.
'She sat on the corner, gulping the soup down, uncaring of the heat of it. They had grown more watery as of late she noted, but she wasn't about to beggar food from the Imperials or the "Bearers of the Word." Tau, despite their faults at least didn't have a kill policy for her race.' |

They have already done everything to us that they possibly can! The nerf bat didn't touch us this last FAQ update as they can't do anything else to make us suck more.
Although looking at my poor Xenos cousins the Chaos Legions..... Maybe they could batter us some more =[
I suppose to add insult to injury they could make all Fire Warriors FEARLESS. At least we wont run away before we get slaughtered. We just get slaughtered lol

On a serious note(as in possable serious changes)
markerlights go away completely/only have a 36" range
Etherials become the only HQ choice with Shas'os and Shas'els being purchased as an accompanying IC for additional points. Etherial comes with a FW bodyguard unit similer to Imperial Guard command squads. Basically keep the same rules as now.
Fire Warriors not getting access to special weapons of some kind. Ideally, they could purchase a heavy weapon drone.
Kroot not gaining access to biological adaptations.
Battlesuits not getting a BS upgrade.
Battlesuit upgrades getting seriously trimmed down. No more Multi-tracker or ablative gun drones.
Broadsides getting a massive price jack and no longer able to split fire.

Then nerf the hell out of them via FAQ...

Honestly I never thought Marker lights were trhat great. I never used them at all. They were such a waste of time and points. The real thing you had to do with Tau was target priortize. If you could do that and well then you should win. Of course I have not played them in almost a year.
I do think them hurting Crisis suits would be the biggest let down. The way Codex's are being done I doubt that at all. in fact I see maybe upgrading to 5 man squads. Yuck!
I have always wanted heavy drones. I see them as upgrades to Drone squads not upgrades to fire warriors. Thats just me. I hate the idea of CC units in Tau. Never liked or took kroot because of this. I would like to see pathfinders to be a troop choice and not have to take a devilfish.
Basically I can't see much getting nerfed as you say. but good things happening. Its just good for whom?

I think being squatted would be a worse fate. But only by a little bit 
Also, ethereals no longer HQ choices-they become squad leaders for fire warrior units. Any time an ethereal is killed, every Tau model takes a morale test Enjoy, communist fethers!!
