Blighted maps may yet be the worst mechanic ever
Just a waste of a season. Another one of these after this one and I'll be taking another couple seasons off.

Do you say this because you don't find it fun or because of the insane fps drops in blight maps?

I actually don't care for the blight encounters within maps myself because the loot is pretty terrible as far as I've seen and the mechanic is pretty stale after the first 50 or so encounters.

However, I really enjoy the blight maps and the anointment crafting. It would sure be a lot more fun though if the fps didn't drop down to around 5fps with the massive amount of mobs on screen.

FPS is one issues of blight maps, the other more impacting issue is server lag if you cant keep the mob count quite low.

I don't find them to be fun. I don't mind the regular encounters but I'm also not good at them which makes the maps unplayable. Nvm the FPS drop which they said theyre working on in the next patch by reducing the number of enemies.

Gameplay wise : Blight regular encounter is fine, however blighted maps are just... I can't tell you how many times I literally got lost, I couldn't see my character. Thank God I'm playing Necromancer, so all my minions do the work.

Loots/rewards : I feel like it's lacking variety of rewards,maybe even loot buff a little. It gets boring quite fast when you constantly get jewelry,Weapon,Item box as a reward. What happened to unique boxes,currency boxes, we are playing Blight league yet those blighted chests are as rare as unique box one. There is a reason why golden oil is over 1,5ex right now, I've played so many maps, I'm yet to see it dropped and there are at least 2 challenges where you HAVE to use these in order to finish them. Makes no sense to me that you lock your own league mechanic behind huge RNG wall.
Just wait until next season when the introduce the Sonic-type racing minigame.

i'd love em if the lag and FPS drops would just not be a thing. nothing like being on a build that must remain mobile, only to run into a wall from server lag or stop dead from FPS drops and then it goes away the moment your already dead.

My friend managed to find 4 of them and run all of them. He only suceeded on one, but he didn't get any lag.
He was playing a summoner build that time.

I really don't look forward to doing them.
