I was doing a t16 map, jumped into a pack consisting of several rares and other mobs, and immidiately died. Now my first thought was "ok, so these mobs are very strong. I should be more careful", and died twice trying to carefully pick away mobs on the edge of this convergence of mobs. I got annoyed, and tried to read mods on a 3mod rare i thought could have killed me, but (because mousing over a moving enemy for long enough to comprehend their modifiers btw [especially when you also have to use the mouse to move and attack] ) he moved and i accidentally saw mods on a different mob. And it had effigy. Which the giant mass of mobs taunted on while i tried to carefully approach them, and i wouldn't have realised and used up all the portals thinking it was just too rippy. What even is that mod ggg? I thought you wanted slower, more tactical gameplay, and instead you add a mod that says "kill me/everyone in 2 seconds or you dead lol", while just identifying it is there takes several attempts(deaths). You ramp up the difficulty of the game while punishing not immidiately killing everything on the screen. Now imagine this effigy mob was super tanky, and was accompanied by some other super tanky mods. Then it's not just "it's not worth the reward" but a "i need to get out of their sight asap". It's not fun.
