More doubling down eh? Add 6 deaths worth of freebies? Or you could just nerf the affix by 5 seconds. Or just remove it.
“We wish for Challenger’s Peril to emphasize precise play and place a greater risk on players’ decisions as they progress through higher Keystone levels.”
Great. Have it apply to keys 12+ or something. Stop forcing this stuff on players that don’t NEED to interact with it.
Get your egos out of the picture already. It’s a bad affix, badly implemented, nobody likes it, nobody wants it. Get. Rid. Of. It.

At best, it’s like 3ish “freebie deaths”, depending on the runback to where you wiped.
sounds to me like it’s a mechanic to combat the mass pull mass kill m+
What I don’t get is that I thought DF s3 and s4 - and even s2 to a slight extent - were considered super fun and popular by the community. Sure, there were things that needed adjusting and fixed - but just some things. But instead of making minor adjustments it feels like they completely redid everything?
The change to stops. Challenger’s Peril. New affixes they keep buff’ing / nerf’ing. Weird dungeon pool.
It’s actually more like 9 free deaths, since Peril only adds 10 seconds per death over a non-Peril key.
You’re not accounting for the lost damage and cooldowns of the person dead and if there’s a wipe, the run back and mobs/boss resetting their HP bar.
or… Just move it to 14+ key levels.
This is clearly an affix that should be dealt with by people running for the title. And they should increase it to like 30s.

Makes me wonder what the point of that affix even existing is now.
That happens regardless, so no, I didn’t include it in the calculation.
Yeah, it’s a bad band-aids in attempt to nerf Challenger’s Peril. It’s basically 3-4 free deaths because dead players lose DPS, cooldowns and waste a time of the run back. Challenger’s Peril will still one of the biggest problems for M+.
This is bs as there are many zero counterplay/zero survivability mechanics. If the game wasn’t designed to steal deaths occassionally with it’s mechanics, I’d say this was fine. Someone not as sweaty as me in m+ might also say Challenger’s Peril is not appropriate when so many single pulls require 3-4 co-ordinated kicks, and that’s a pretty reasonable take as well.

Players just out skilled the devs. The only thing they had left to go after is the clock, and they did it in the least counter-playable way possible. Gutless.

That’s always the way it is.
