Yeah, I think they maybe overcompensated for how comparatively awesome (or at least useful) fire was in BL1's campaign.
It's not that fire was particularly better than the other elements, it's just that elemental weapons in general almost universally sucked in the first game because of the way the proccing worked, and both of the "always procs" legendaries happened to be fire.
