M+ is bad and how to fix it

The reason why M+ feels so bad this expansion is they added in new affixes.

BFA’s schedule:

Fortified Bolstering Grievous Awakened
Tyrannical Raging Explosive Awakened
Fortified Sanguine Grievous Awakened
Tyrannical Teeming Volcanic Awakened
Fortified Bolstering Skittish Awakened
Tyrannical Bursting Necrotic Awakened
Fortified Sanguine Quaking Awakened
Tyrannical Bolstering Explosive Awakened
Fortified Bursting Volcanic Awakened
Tyrannical Raging Necrotic Awakened
Fortified Teeming Quaking Awakened
Tyrannical Bursting Skittish Awakened

Now Shadowlands:

Fortified Bursting Volcanic Prideful
Tyrannical Bolstering Storming Prideful
Fortified Spiteful Grievous Prideful
Tyrannical Inspiring Necrotic Prideful
Fortified Sanguine Quaking Prideful
Tyrannical Raging Explosive Prideful
Fortified Spiteful Volcanic Prideful
Tyrannical Bolstering Necrotic Prideful
Fortified Inspiring Storming Prideful
Tyrannical Bursting Explosive Prideful
Fortified Sanguine Grievous Prideful
Tyrannical Raging Quaking Prideful

In BFA you could push almost every week except for Bolstering ones. Affixes like Teeming and Skittish were basically a joke.

In Shadowlands the affix combinations are worse. You go from a push week into 3 bad weeks and then another push week and 3 bad weeks and then another push week. We need to not get affixes like Spiteful, Storming, Grievous, etc. back-to-back with each other… let us breath a bit and be able to have fun pumping higher keys.

Tyrannical needs another -10% hp nerf and I think people might start pushing on those weeks.
