Tota is easily best League mechanic of all time and it's not even close.

It's a well executed league, love the art style and music and general feel outside gameplay, but I don't enjoy playing it. If it goes core, I won't play it (and I'd be sad to lose mechanics I do enjoy for one I don't, not that it necessarily has to be an either/or), but if others will, good for them.

its not going core. they already said it. and even if it went core, the rewards would be nerfed so much. people would simply not bother with it anymore. lets face it, people only liked this mechanic because of the rewards. its a boring mechanic to do. not fun at all.

Not the case. Was adressed earlier.

Also why you are still here? You demonstrated time and time again that you are not well versed in the topic (to say it lightly).

what would qualify me to be well versed? turn into a zombie and rank up to 2k?
tota is the most braindead mechanic ever. you hold down your mouse button on the totems to win. thats it. you dont do anything else. how people can do something so repetitive and simple for hours upon hours is beyond me. no amount of rewards would get to me to do tota. its the most braindead mechanic. maybe thats why some of you liked it. you do the least amount of work for the highest rewards no matter how boring and repetitive it is

tota is like a casino slot machine. people sit there all day pressing one button. and repeat. i dont get how people find that fun either. i guess you need a gamblers mindset to fully enjoy this game

As i said in another thread: Even people with PhDs can be wrong about complex subjects they (think they) know everything about. However, the judge/jury/executioner will always be the Devs. Even if a nobody or a "well versed" Tota player is right, they can still just say "no", as with literally everything else they denied because "no".

Also, why are you still here? They alredy said it's not going core, you can stop the propaganda.

While the tattoos might have been an interesting addition the mechanic itself is/was bleh, some another tedious cr*p like sanctum was. Not a fan of those, but hey, if you think so...

But even then, I think you are pushing it waaay too much with this "best mechanic" thingy.

Don't forget, with this league we've got a PoE2 particle system, which made the performance and fps much less stable and worse comparing with last league. It might be that the league was being developed with a new particle system in mind and hence required it...
So possibly, this league came with a huge drawback, and nothing much was done to make anything better.

True. Performance for some people was severely affected. My friend had roller coaster of experience throughout the League.

So if you take away the rewards it is unrewarding? You don't say..

I also had a rollercoaster experience but it was the weirdest one ever, the cart went donwnhill once and stayed there.

On topic, I haven't played much but I liked the league mechanic well enough. GGG usually does a decent job on genre-based mechanics, their version of tower defense and roguelike turned out pretty serviceable, considering you have to merge them with classic arpg gameplay, and this one is no exception. Dunno if I'd play it more if it stuck around, but I can see the mechanic having a fanbase despite being far from universally liked, like, dunno, heist or delve.

Friend had terrible performance on launch then it got improved then mid-League patch reversed it and made it terrible again then they somewhat fixed it I think. As for me, I upgraded my pc and enjoyed best performance so far.

There seem to be a lot "I don't like League mechanic, but tattoos and League overall is awesome" people.

The AI of allied units is awful, flankers will ignore totems they are right next to instead of channeling and chase after mobs on the other side of the screen. Enemy defenders end up being attackers in your base, channeling your totems. It's awful and should be permanently deleted since they didn't want to fix it.

Outside of exagerrations units AI is not perfect for a reason. It's because GGG respects out intelligence (maybe it's mistake...). I see many people misunderstanding it.

the mechanic itself is really bad and unbalanced. i like the tattoos tho
