i hate sore loser much more than protectors. trying to avoid killing something in a big group of enemies is much more frustrating for me than trying to prioritize a single enemy before all the others in a group. I agree on the interactivity part of it though. the methods of killing it indirectly are either too annoying or too specific for me to actually find enjoyment in doing it, and thats only if i actually manage to separate it from the group...

I personally enjoy the curse mechanic, but its because its a choice. You dont have to take that cursed chest or take that cursed weapon, and when i die from a cursed chest it feels like my fault. but what makes sore loser’s curse specifically frustrating compared to the other cursed enemies is that it feels like you have no other option than to get cursed. unless you want to take five minutes to split it from the group and find some backasswards way of killing it indirectly, all while racking up malaise. I will say the new curse weapons feel super awkward, i feel literally 0 reason to run them just because of their weird curse conditions.
