WTF did they do to MR Diablos

[Mythily]

Burrow followed by instant charge without recovery?? So how am I even supposed to dodge it if not for screamer pods?

Not a good design choice at all.
The recovery window after a burrow is what made it fair. Now its complete bs.
"No openings in Iceborne, no sir!" Devs who worked on this monster. probably. Seems to be a pattern too: most new monsters are interesting, "reworked" base game monsters are not.

You wait. Sometimes it's simply the monster's turn, so you go on the defensive for a short bit.

Or play lance and counter poke everything. Poke poke poke.

[Mythily]

But that's exactly what I'm doing. Once it starts burrowing I holster weapon and do the jump dodge. Normal dodge isn't enough. But now? I will get hit anyways because the recovery window is gone.
And the amount of times it borrows is nuts. Almost spams it at times.
Screamer pod spam it is then

And yea, lance can work but I'm not in the mood of learning another weapon right now.

Thats it!
Screamer pod, it finally has a use now

[Astrallight]

You superman dive when he goes underground and play more defensive.

Not every monster lets you poke its face without going full combo on you at some point. Some monsters are hyper aggressive and will jump for days until you get a turn yourself to attack.

Thats the beauty of World. Monsters are challanging or it would grow boring very quick.

[Bobucles]

Play lance. Every single attack is an opening.

[FalcieAdam_]

ikr? It should be much more difficult :D

[Jaevwyn]

as a partial lance main, plus one for lance, its so fun against diablos xD

[Kackstift]

black diablos on rage maybe because it is more agressive but not the regular..
if a monster is to fast for you.. slow it down.. you have traps for a reason

[gg0h]

skill issue

Insect Glaive works well from my experience, just did one of them in the guiding lands, tempered to boot. Was actually quite a fun fight, just see when you need to be in the air and it becomes quite easy.

screamer don't work when he is enraged

Master Rank becomes more and more about learning when you can attack during the monster's attacks.

Also... sometimes the monsters go crazy and are REALLY hard to attack, and you just have to wait a minute.

Excuses.
Leave the fight till he calms down

I realized a distinct difference between HR and MR Diablos so my 2nd attempt was much easier. Apparently there's no need to do the dive, running around in a curve is a reliable way to dodge the burrow and the follow up attack.

There's one monster though that stands out for "worst" design. Its none other than MR Rathalos and its subspecies. Fk that guy. I could go on an entire rant why this monster is so bad in MR, but that's for another time. Besides there are already a lot of MR Rathalos rants out there soo

[Lochlann]

Dw Rathalos has basically always sucked, with Rise being the one and only iteration thus far to be half decent. He's damn annoying in GU and was absolutely atrocious in 3U, and there's a good chance that 3U 'Los isn't even the worst iteration of him
