that's the point of the thread, dude.

I don't want another garbage league, and it's kinda easy to fix this problem. Just create a "unfreeze all" button. Just like "accelerate" button inside memories.

I want to click in a monolith and destroy everything, fucking yes. That's how I have fun.

They don't want to admit this garbage league is just a reskinned breach, so they'll keep the cancer unfreezing mechanic.

take it easy, dude.

The league looks cool, just like breach was. I'm not mad with legion itself, just saying it would be cool to have a way to skip all this freezing thing that looks annoying.

The moment I've seen trailer for Legion leagues I was like "Ok, so in a patch in which melee should shine the most you add league that is as melee unfriendly as possible?".
There is no way melee users will be able to "tag" all monsters in that little time we get while I will just stay at center and unfreeze every monster in couple seconds using something like TS/LA/SA/EH + pierce, some spell with huge AoE like Bane or Frostbolt+Ice Nova or just as Spectre Summoner.

I was going to try melee in 3.7, but not with such league mechanic.

I agree that this looks less friendly to melee than other builds, but this is another classic example of developer expectations versus players. You expect to be able to unfreeze every monster. Why? What if they put 10,000 monsters in there just to make it feel epic?

They said as much in the Q&A that they don't expect many if any people to routinely break most monsters free.

Reminds me of map sustain. People reliably complain every league that they can't sustain T16. It's a big chasm of expectations between system design and what the player thinks should be right.

Why do I expect to unfreeze all of them? Becuase it will be VERY doable on most "clearpseed kings". Which mean those builds not only benefit from clearing those unfreezed monsters faster, they also "SPAWN" more monsters to kill!
Who the hell would play melee in such league?

It's hilarious, when we finally have a Melee league we have the worst mechanic league ever to deal with melee.

Unless we are playing some big and fast Aoe melee skill, maybe tectonic slam.

But god damnit, many others will feel terrible and awful.

Some builds like spectral throw for example is a DO-NOT-GO in this league.

This button fix everything. I don't know about you but personally I hate any league mechanic instantly kills certain builds.

I like to play whatever I want.

The only use of "melee" I have in this league is to use Cyclone with CWC for Volatile Dead.

The upcoming league will introduce an inverse problem too, many single-target skills in the game are getting Splash Damage so... it's going to become difficult to find good skills that only hit the enemies you want to activate.
