Why did they remove Taunts From Warcrys

Like I'm confused why did they remove the taunting feature on warcries in poe1 when they got ported to poe2? the taunt was so much fun when playing in a group expessially when tied on a high thorns and defence build so you can be the "MMO Tank" for your friend group.

So each skill can have up to 5 support gems.

You'd either need to have the taunting turned on by a support gem or turned off by a support gem, and if you had it be turned off by a support gem that support gem would need to have some pretty outrageous buffs on it to justify itself, so they likely went with requiring one to turn it on with a minor buff attached.

Or at least thats how I believe the design shakedown would go if they put in a support gem to make warcries taunt.

I mean that makes sense, but in poe1 it was just apart of the skill no support needed. cant it just be a normal interaction with the skill not a support
