    Time to end complete cancer M+ weeks?

    As the title suggests. There is nothing fun about the combination of this weeks' affixes. It isn't fun, it's just painful and annoying. Unless you have a solid team (and even then a lot of groups don't bother on weeks like this), you just don't bother past a 21 generally. The week is technically null and void, there might as well be a big banner that just says "lolz, come back next week."

    The difficulty should come primarily from the level of the dungon as well as the seasonal affix, with the main weekly modifer of tyrannical or fortifying being the main things. Most of the affixes are "okay", but please. Take Bolstering and shove it in the trash. Take that trash bag, and throw it into a hole that has been bored down to the Earth's core, then send a few nuclear missiles down just to make sure the affix stays dead.

    Ok?

    Good.

    Or, instead of having a meltdown, you could just skip this week and take a break.

    Just checked the affixes - there is nothing bad about this combination, there are at least 3 other ones far worse.

    No explosive, no volcanic ... no teaming.

    This week is fine OP.

    That's what I do when teaming/explosive comes up

    Challenge Mode : Play WoW like my disability has me play:
    You will need two people, Brian MUST use the mouse for movement/looking and John MUST use the keyboard for casting, attacking, healing etc.
    Briand and John share the same goal, same intentions - but they can't talk to each other, however they can react to each other's in game activities.
    Now see how far Brian and John get in WoW.

    I'm betting 10 gold OP is a DPS

    One that has an emotional meltdown everytime he's asked to do something other than smashing his head against his AOE button

    LOL it is most definitely a pretty rough week. I think the raider.io weekly walk through starts off by saying something along the lines of "most people will do one +10(or higher) run this week".

    Yep - different people, classes, specs have different difficulties.

    Explosive is by far the worst for me ...

    Definitely a terrible set of affixes. Blizzard really need to balance affixes better. Some weeks are complete gimmes, usually volcanic/explosive weeks, especially when compared to weeks with grievous and bolstering.

    Oh and Blizz need to just delete Tol Dagor. There's no joy in pulling completely unplanned mobs through walls and floors

    I fully agree with your point. Bfa has too many combinations, that make playing mythic+ feel like drinking poison. It just isn't fun most of the time. In Legion it was mostly good weeks and a couple of bad ones. Hell, we've even gone so far, that there is only 1 or 2 weeks in the entire season when you are able to do top rank clears. Then it becomes impossible again. This seasons trashy seasonal affix is one part of it, because every 3rd week is a freaking void week. But anyway I personally hope they'll bring the fun back someday.

    My point exactly. Hardly anyone wants to play this week. None of my regular team mates want too. So we do low level alt stuff, which is fine. But the fact that this week is a complete "no no", just shows horrible design. Next week for example is fine, Raging isn't a huge deal and Explosives is a free affix.

    I'll use "cancer" as a descriptive if I want. Be gone left-wing language controller.

    Blizzard wants you to stay subbed until a good week. Can't have you setting personal records too fast.

    Serious question. Reflect upon what you write and how you present yourself.

    If you had wanted an echo chamber you probably should have told us that in your OP, then folks would have known better than to bother responding to you in a reasonable and civilized manner.

    Older than you if you think that being edgy on the internet is a big deal

    Aren’t “lefty” and “boomer” kind of contradictory terms, at least in the common “I want to insult someone but can’t think of anything original” usages?

    you're mad at Bolstering? really? if your dps are efficient you can aoe shit down so that even if stuff does get bolstered it is when they are at sub 5% and it won't matter. if you have a decent tank who can move stuff away from any cc'd trash so that it doesn't get bolstered when the main pack dies then bolstering is easy as fuck.
