The devs won't remove Tyrannical/Fortified just because they make dungeons longer or harder – thats their entire purpose after all, to make it more challenging to finish the dungeon on time.Tyrannical has a huge health buff so that your group is forced to deal with boss mechanics more, and a damage buff so that you're forced to engage with mechanics that become lethal, with healer mana, and with tank cooldowns. A replacement for tyrannical would need to do similar things. Perhaps keep the damage increase, but have tyrannical bosses include a new mechanic (like how Normal/Heroic/Mythic include new mechanics in raids) instead. Then tyrannical weeks have bosses that are different, and the mechanics change could make them more interesting than just being a bigger punching bag.Fortified creates the challenge of being able to deal with groups of mobs for a longer period of time and again challenging the group's ability to deal, absorb, and recover from damage. If we want to replace fortified, we need a new mechanic that takes the place of that. In a lot of ways Fortified and Teeming overlap – they both make mobs harder to deal with. If Fortified were to go, I'd probably see Teeming take its place.Now do I want to see any of this happen? I don't know. But I wouldn't expect to see Fortified or Tyrannical just go – they serve a purpose in varying how you approach a dungeon, if you like it or not.
When they put in systems that "get easier" as the key goes up, they are doing the exact opposite of what they should be doing.
Now remove explosive, thanks.Hope they make a version of Reaping as a regular affix.
TBH I can n i know most players can deal with half the affixes but man I wish they would remove that annoying explosive like its not hard but man it's annoying, but then again i better hush b4 we get some those annoying Vision affixes.
Cool changes
Bolstering is definitely something they need to look into as well. It makes the dungeon experience less fun. There are many affixes they can add that will legitimately make a run more difficult without sucking the fun out of it. Tyrannical is also a broken affix. People are only pushing every other week because of this one affix, it's very dumb.

Making Bursting Stacks dispellable is a terrible choice for class balance. So we basically have one affix which makes Healpriests S-Tier and with (probably) any other affix they remain garbage tier.
A decent start, but I still will likely never run a Mythic+ ever again. I tolerated it mostly in Legion due to it being the new thing and all, but with the terrible dungeon design of BFA & horrific design of the affixes themselves, just don't wanna bother with it.
it's an interesting change for volcanic. However bursting is already one of the best designed affixes, please don't touch it. It can suck on low key levels, but making it an impossibly hard affix for high keys is NOT the right change. Please focus on affixes that actually need fixing/removing like tyran, explosive (make orbs have a flat health amount), bolstering conflicting with certain dungeon design, etc.....
Any word about the "Awakened" affix? Will it permanently stay in some form, or will rogues be mandatory again?
