What are some the most BS mechanics in the game?

[Absurdity]

BS mechanics - Mechanics that are only difficult because they are clunky or poorly implemented.


Here's mine: Anything with tethers. That weird and inconsistent delay in swapping tethers or trying to distance them just right. Ex7 meteor tethers are a massive offender of this.

The mechanic itself is very simple, executing it difficult because 1 step forward, your tether is bad, 1 step back your tether is bad, 1 step forward your tether is good. They took the USB port dilemma and decided to make it a mechanic and it's disgusting.

Gonna second the absolutely awful tether mechanics, O10S Hot Tail and DSR P2 buster tethers (because those are the only ones I've seen in that fight) come to mind immediately. They're essentially a coin toss whether or not the tether passes correctly or randomly jumps to someone else because you were in their postal code.

And then there is Exaflares, not a difficult mechanic in itself but the hitboxes often do not match the visual effect.
