Suggestion dealing with ouches

Lpoo

I didn’t want to use the word “suicide” in the title in case it’s a triggering word. If you opened this and are still triggered, my bad

I unlocked suicides fully about a year ago after 3 years without. So far, the only content benefit that I’ve seen is in arenas, as well as a couple champs that either benefit directly or heal from them. (My big ones are knull, kitty, omega red, omega sentinel) otherwise, it’s too costly having to switch back and forth. Especially in this EOP round, I fume when I see this b*st*rd going into a fight:



I know masteries 2.0 are “around the corner,” but please make it so that content doesn’t punish the use of a mastery that I want to use elsewhere.

Not every piece of content has to be suited to the use of suicides y'know?

Also, whoever decided to call these masteries "suicides" needs a dictionary. The goal is not to kill yourself but to get massive additional attack. I'm not "triggered" by this. It's just a dumb name.

I only use them in AW and AQ, and sometimes in story content. Sixty units to switch out. Not a huge deal.

You take on detrimental effects to your health in exchange for an attack boost. So it kinda is a suicide tactic. Also, you can effectively die from the debuffs or recoil.
The term is so engrained in the mcoc lore that I doubt it will ever change. I hope it doesn’t just because the out of context oversensitivity of our times pisses me off.

60 units is a lot if you are switching them on and off between wars and AQ cycles to adjust for arena. I’m being cynical, and maybe it’s not a big deal, but I’m just going to stick to taking suicides off and not using omega red anymore lol

I'm really hoping we get at least one free switch a day if masteries 2.0 ever comes out

I actually get triggered when people don't say suicides 😆. First time I heard "damage back" masteries on YouTube I was like when did this become a thing

Mastery 2.0 is long overdue is an understatement. I don't really care if they introduce mastery loadouts which will cost you a ton of units to freely switch between mastery setups or giving them out for free but it will cost you units for each switch rather than what we have right now where you have to tediously reset and click and wait and click and wait and click... and then reset and click and wait and click and wait and click. Damn, it's so archaic.

Someone originally referred to them as suicide masteries and the name stuck because it struck a chord in people. Otherwise the term would have vanished. And the chord it struck is that because the suicide masteries deal self damage, they should be highlighted as a mastery choice that can literally cause you to kill yourself in combat. Once upon a time that was an important thing to highlight to players who were unfamiliar with them.
