It’s garbage. It’s not going to happen.
The change to the KSM achievement requiring tyrannical does not mean I’m going to do something that’s not fun. Instead, I’d rather just not play the game.
You’ve continued to drop the ball with shadowlands and make it worse for no reason than it needs to be. This is another example of that. Tyrannical needs to be deleted. Not promoted.
See you all in 9.2 I guess. Sub is over in 12 days.

you know what? i actually agree with this. tyrannical is a pretty miserable affix as it is, even after the hp nerf, and this change to ksm seems very unusual to me. i’m assuming blizzard is taking into account some telemetry data involving the completion rates of +15s and this change is meant to get people to do more keys during tyrannical weeks… but why? if people aren’t doing tyrannical keys, doesn’t that indicate an issue with the tyrannical affix itself? or am i just overthinking this and blizzard is making this change for some arcane reason mere mortals can’t comprehend?
anyway, this sucks and i hate it and i’ll probably still try for ksm anyway

Will this open up more metas? Will single target specs suddenly be in demand on tyrannical weeks? That would be the only way I see this being a net positive.

It’s the same logic behind keys not being rerollable. Instead of just fixing the dungeon nobody is doing, they’d rather just force players to run it anyway.

Change specs up. Tyrannical is only ridiculously stupid when combined with the stacking poison debuff.
This has been known for a while. Why is it suddenly a huge deal? Did people miss it when the news first came out?
Does someone have the article? I have a headache and google is so bright
I only knew they’re making a differentiation between fortified and tyrannical with their new io. Didn’t know it’d affect ksm.

It’s called #timeplayed. By restricting achievements behind crappy afflixes, blizz forces ppl to play extra to beat tyrannical, equaling better metrics.
Right, nobody knew it’d mean doing double the dungeons until today.

Oh god I just read it.
Way to scare people out of even trying for KSM when they’re at the stage I’m at with feeling confident doing keys.
Way to annoy everyone else who regularly gets KSM already.
What’s KSM season 3 gonna require you to do? Eat a bag of… thicc sausages in every single dungeon on both fortified and tyrannical?

Wowhead commented on it in a previous PTR build. I remember reading about it. Even the current article says:
We’ve waited an extra build to see if either the achievement requirements or Mythic+ scoring system changed in the recent 9.1 PTR build, and no changes were made to either system.

Unfortunately Blizzard balance is wonky as ever. They still make specs that excel at single target also have amazing aoe. Then make specs that have slightly less single target and sweet fudge-all aoe.
It’s no surprise why some specs don’t get taken.

Tyrannical is trash and Blizzard is trash for trying to shove trash down everyone’s throats.
Blizzard, this is bad you should feel bad. Every single one of you, starting with the one who suggested this and then with every single person who signed off on this dumpster fire of a change.

That comment means “we saw this in the last PTR build, but didn’t want to write any articles about it and cause a potentially unnecessary uproar until we saw it a second time in case it was a mistake”.
