This is why true north was added to begin with, so either you keep a boss static and have it basically never move, or you make the ring on the boss change depending on where it is at so that positionals are disabled when they go to an area that a flank/rear attack isn't possible.

So yes, positionals as they are now are beyond pointless, and making changes to make missing positionals more punishing would heavily limit boss fight designs. The better alternative is to remove positionals which allows the team for more creative boss fights. We're already seeing that anyways with a lot of boss fights being full circles and disabling the need for positionals.

I personally see zero positives to positionals. They do not create any form of good engagement.
Current fights are the opposite of being creative so I guess that completely disproves the entire point.
STOP ASKING TO REMOVE THINGS THEY WONT GIVE BACK ANYTHING IN RETURN
