Talisman beating Torment as most boring league !

Cant believe im saying this after Torment and Warbands, but Talisman is so boring, wow. Its basicly standard all over again with a few auto-possessed mobs throwin in between and a giant ponzi scheme as the cake's icing.

When Chris said they made a GREEEAT League because for once they wouldnt need to divide workforce between SC and HC, i thought: Cool beans.
However, in my professional opinion, Talisman is the worst league ever and it takes the trophy off Torment.

Rewards from killing those Talisman-monsters are simply too low. If you don't find a rare Talisman, you pretty much found nothing. Now, you have found 5 useless (bad rolls) rare T1 Talismans - time to turn them into T2 Talisman. It is terrible again. Start over!

I mean, seriously, this is simply too RNG heavy. Hoping to ever find a good Talisman is not enough.
Chris said that Talisman is best league so far in term of numbers, but I'm not sure if Talisman itself did it, or simply game being more and more popular. Giant marketing also does it's thing.

It seems like GGG have no plan to improve talismans or adding some better system to scale ilvls or higher chance to get RARE talisman... well i did everything to help.
Its sad bcs talisman can be such a great league if GGG care to fix listed problem but not in 2016 guys

This show how broken CoC,Mjner,Spells,Rangers are and how weak physical non crit melee are.

Fanboiz and forum troll have fun with NO balance in path of ranger and GGG dont even care to start doing something to nerf it or buff melee non crit.

I think people play Talisman for the idea and for the promise for a very good rare amulet.
But Talisman suffers from the same problem normal rares suffer from. They are rare and even if they drop yellow the chance of finding a decent or even good talisman is almost infinitely small. I still haven't seen wow-factor talismans on the entire forum and reddit. That's the problem. People realise they are hunting the almost impossible.

You can get some decent stuff, I suppose, even with casual play time, no wow factor but still very much usable. If you could craft corrupted items at the additional expense of vaal orbs the idea of items that drop pre-corrupted would look much better.

This is also right. Talismans useless, but rares fine and even rares most of time useless so everyone just wasted time.
Add there trash challenges with 80 ilvl that almost impossible with shitty drops and even worse map drops and we have worst league.

You guys don't read the news:

"60% of characters have a Talisman as the item on their amulet slot. While magic (blue) amulets are traditionally used about 11% of the time, we've found that magic Talismans are being used 24.3% of the time."

Most of players wear talisman right now.

Talisman are great for levelling (30% damage boost in a WHITE item)

Rare talisman are BiS for late game

Unique Greatwolf Tali give 12% phys dmg reduction additive with endurance charges and 60% damage.

White/blue tali are used with unique to farm unique of higher tier.

Yellow are used to farm for yellow obviously.

All are used for challenges.

Talismans are not useless.

Last time I played PoE was over a year ago and it is a lot more fun now then ever before.

This is the best talismans I have found so far. I don't think they are too bad.
I have only played PoE for a few days in Talisman league and got a total of 8 t3 talismans and lots of t2 and t3.
