Even though Chosen was an interesting mechanic, I'm glad it's gone. Shadow Items are fun but there should be more of them in game.
The new synergies seem super bland compared to the old ones. Nightbringer/Dawnbringer are stupid. Forgotten is boring but at least it incentivizes Shadow items, which is pretty fun. I wish there were more unique synergies like Cybernetic that make you want to play the game differently than how you would normally play it
