It’s thematically strong, but it’s just more layers of RNG.
Now, instead of having random items randomly proc to be better, we have random items randomly proccing to be better in that they randomly proc positive effects but then also randomly proc negative effects - and they even planned for the randomly procced negative effects to be of random severity depending on how the item procced when it dropped in the first place.
I just want an item that I can understand in the context of the world and the lore. I want that item to be interesting and cool, but I want it to be simple, consistent, and understandable. I don’t mind other people working out my BiS list - in fact I downright welcome it.
As Preach also said in his recent video: There is a beauty in simplicity. It’s about time Blizzard rediscovered that.
