I'm not saying the naming convention wasn't stupid, I'm saying it wasn't hard. You see it once or twice and you realized "oh, when the castbar says Larboard, the boss attacks from its left. I can remember this because Larboard and Left both start with L. When it says Starboard, it attacks from its right. I can remember this because I've vaguely heard of shipping terminology in pop culture before in my life, and if not that, I can remember this because neither Starboard nor Right start with an L." There's nothing unfair or bullshit about it being "inverted" (it isn't inverted, the boss is doing the same attack, it's just facing a different direction). It added an extra thing to pay attention to, yes, but I don't see how that's a bad thing as opposed to the whole fight just being left/right cleaves, and your post really just enforces my take that you just want the fights to be 100% effortless and thoughtless. Like really, your complaint is that you had to read a word and associate it with left or right, and look at which direction the boss is facing? That's the bar for what's too much for you?
