Metamorph is such a disappointment

It sucks because metamorphs are the ultimate benchmark while mapping - they are stronger than essence monsters. And yet while essence monsters give you a steady supply of currency, metamorphs give you nada. Not to mention wasting time assembling them and spending more time killing them. Its just a sad state of affairs because it is good to have these strong monster options instead of clearing screens with trash while mapping. Plus they are a nice build test.

Yea...I really like the design of metamorphs: a constantly changing boss monster with all the attack patterns of 5 separate monsters put together.

but then they spoil the whole thing by making it worthless

Nah, I like Metamorph, Delirium and Ritual. I go after them every league. But two of these just don't compare to the other map league mechanics.

I tried a full meta altas spec one league recently, maybe crucible? and it was not worth the investment.

I got into a private league a few weeks ago, and after doing mostly blight, I went to full meta. Again, it felt very lackluster for spending that many atlas points.

Maybe some game changing keystone like they did with expedition can save it, but I won't go full meta altas again, I've tried twice.

Nah if we are comparing essence to metamorph the difference is absolutely laughable, Metamorph is in the running for worst mechanic to actually spec into certainly one of the worst you can actually disable.

Certainly doesn't fit the risk vs reward mechanics either, Metamorphs are pretty hard if you spec them.

I'm running ritual right now and it is a very solid profit for me. Every ritual chain (one map) is guaranteed 40c+ pure profit (thats a 100% minimum), not counting other stuff on map or rng rewards.
Metamorph on the other hand I don't know, havn't tested yet, but since catalysts drop in huge numbers from everything else, it was watered down sadly.

I did netamorph all league. Even with all the rare/ quant that thing gets from the atlas tree,

It doesn't have "valuable loot". It is a boss without a chase item. Kind of like incursion boss farming.

I think it's more fun.

Although having a steady supply of 6 mod organs gives a lot of popcorn currency. But they need to make it drop more evenly. It is worse than boss frags if you want to slam 20+ of these things.

I must be missing a key feature of Ritual for them to put out that much currency, but when I was grinding its respective challenge on my path to 40/40, I specced into it and didn't feel like I pulled much of anything out of it.

And yeah, with catalysts dropping everywhere, it's hard getting anything good out of Metamorphs anymore. I tried to make it work since it was a favorite league of mine where it was the 2nd furthest I've ever gotten in challenges done, but it just doesn't pull much profit out anymore. And it's a shame, because City Square is a perfect map to farm them on, what with all the boss organs.

You basically have to use blood vessels for ritual to be worthwhile but once you do you start seeing the better loot more often, I wouldn't personally say I pull 40c out of it per ritual but you get fairly high potential rewards at a steady rate (things like double or triple synth bases etc) if you grind it.

Its a bit feast or famine though at times but what mechanic isn't?
