Im not sure what the hell the question is. maybe you should stop making assumptions.

I'm not saying mana resource management is good. its atrocious. its the reason why people look for easy solution.

no, 2% mana leech wasnt enough for lots of skills (dominating blow, looking at you), but you could get more via mind drinker and gear, worse come to worst

its one of the main reason people use soul taker, which is one of the dumbest items Ive ever seen in this game.

right now the mana leech gem is replaced either with soul taker or for poorer souls (like myself), blood magic gem on every skill(soon to be nerfed too I think- at least it goes with the philosophy)

see, I strongly disagree. there needs to be as little of 'of course everyone is using mechanic x' in the game as possible, imo. life pool and resists are mandatory, and thats already more than enough. block is very powerful, but not everyone was stacking it to max.

leech was too powerful because a gem (non-physical, mana) and gear/nodes (physical, mana) made resource management absolutely obsolete.

if something is mandatory in this game, it needs to be looked at. it's all about having healthy choices, not just mindlessly slapping on a mana leech gem when you reserve all but 50 of your mana to auras.

The fundamental problem is extremely simple: instant (or almost instant) deaths + desync. If you have instant (or almost instant) deaths in the game, the desync is unacceptable. If you have desync in the game, instant (or almost instant) deaths are unacceptable. You can have either desyncs or instant (or almost instant) deaths in your game at the same time. To have both is unacceptable.

Let me show an example.

You fight vaal oversoul. He raises his arm and kills you with one blow. Reasons of death and player reaction to it is as follows:

1) You died because you wasn't fast enough and didn't manage to escape his attack. Common player reaction: "Oh man, I fucked up. That's my fault. Next time I do better!" (keeps playing, enjoing the game).

2) On your screen you succesfully dodge vaal's attack. You are like half the screen away from the boss and his arm. Still you die because of desync. Common player reaction: "What the fuck! I dodged that! Fucking game, fucking GGG!!111" (uninstalls the game after reaching his own threshold of desync deaths).

I hope GGG understand this simple rule of gamedesign.

Just disallow alt-F4 for fuck sake and focus on fixing other technical problems instead. Using Alt-F4 is bad design, is far from being an hardcore thing to do (and pretty much only hardcore player use it) and doesn't show any skill at all.

Simple solution.....do away with the death penalty until you can provide a game where you die from your mistakes rather than desync, absurd lag, lack of graphic options, etc. I think you will lose less players and see more high level characters rather than rerolling a new toon that can actually progress levels.
