I'm not entirely sure what you have in mind with leniency mechanisms. I think the current solution to leniency is TN, but I'm sure we all know how frustrating that can be during a busy oGCD window (not that we have as many of those anymore), or when charges simply run out due to a mechanic being extremely long or back-to-back with another anti-melee mechanic. If you mean a softer punish for potency/crit/etc. loss, I'm not sure this would satisfy a lot of people; I can't speak for others, but I know that it's the loss of any damage at all that annoys me with positionals.

Aside from the annoying bit of positionals, I simply don't enjoy the mechanic. I don't hate it, but if I had to choose, I think I'd rather go without altogether. It's that additional layer of being annoyed by a forced miss that elevates positionals to strongly disliked for me, as opposed to just being something I'm not really interested in.
