I think the t17 mods are meant to be unfun. I don't quite understand why though.

chaos sink. They dialute the mod pool with annoying stuff so you have to waste chaoses to roll them over.

It seems like they fixed the oversaturation of chaos this league by reducing base currency drop rates and juicing mechanics. Perhaps next league they might tone down some of the t17 mods

IF they were going to change it (not convinced they should), some possible alternatives that maintain the spirit of the mod:

1. All damaging skills have a shared cooldown of an additional 0.5 seconds.

2. 3 seconds out of every 10 seconds, monsters take 90% less damage from all sources.

I like those! First one would be my favourite out of the two.

I think my main issue with the current implementation of the mod is how it completely ruins builds that require consistent hits for leech uptime and the lack of counterplay. Adding a cooldown gives back agency to the player which should always be the right choice.

The mod will still be much better handled by builds that have multiple movement skills and less actions, such as bleed slams or RF. Currently popular builds like KBoC however would have to roll over it as they need to spam their main ability many times per second and would thus be hit harder.

There's also the question how map mod effect would affect this, and how bad really it'd get.

Interesting!
