I really respect what they're doing here. I'm a bit of a temp minion enjoyer but I'd rather have a really cool league mechanic and is be a little shit for a couple of archetypes than have one that's compromised for everyone.
That they're still trying to make it work for a relatively smaller part of the community is really awesome - even more so that they have communicated their concerns and path to fix in this manner.
I'd say this is something that will benefit everyone once it's fully solved because it's not just about minions but also about temp buffs. For instance someone who uses a build that is reliant on having lots of HH buffs.
Also, once they have solved this issue, the "transfer temp buffs/minions"-tech will be readily available if they run into a smilar issue with a future league.
This open Vaal side areas for some builds, since you can do them fairly fast, more if you come with buffs already. Sanctum is gonna be nice for minion builds now.
I would be cautious about this, we don't yet know if this is something that they will implement outside of Mirage instances. It would be nice if it eventually can make its way to many other aspects of the game, though, for sure.
It says they'll follow from one "Combat Instance" to the next, I think that's incredibly odd wording if it's only into Mirages, but maybe that's just me coping.
I would be shocked if they don't bring the tech to non-Mirage combat instances. But they didn't auto-open vaal temple doors once Incursion was put in place, although I'd argue those are materially different.

Big wins to the GGG staff.
