Poll: which medals can we do without?

Klear:

The point of my inclusion is that, as with Iron Skull, this medal makes an entire game hang on just 1 little point (luckily on dlev2 instead of halfway through the game, but still): you enter the Arena and
1) you get hit and start again
2) you don't get hit, clear the Arena and the rest of the run is pointless. Personally, I'd jump into the nearest pool of lava and get it over with just to make sure my computer doesn't crash and lose my medal. But that's because what I named '2)' is more likely to be '2153)', with attempts 1 through 2152 having failed.
It's just no fun, same as Iron Skull.

Would you believe I got this medal while going for something completely different? Edit: And we're talking about a medal which, when I learned what it is for, I had to look up a youtube video demonstrating it or I wouldn't have believed it can be done.

AlterAsc:
Well, it's definitely not pointless if you aim for DS in UC or one of low/no-damage badges. Also your logic could be applied to any badge that doesn't require you to win - but it's not like you need to suicide after that immediately.
And the fact that there's plent of difficult badges doesn't mean that number of them should be limited.
Iron Skull unlike HA Pwnge requires no skill.

Evilpotatoe:
Voted shield & skull coz it's only luck & unskill reward (you're not supposed to try to max damages taken -.-) I guess MvM + pain elemental is the only serious "strategy" to get this crap, so, I'll just never get it.

Also voted against GCB cross, since I got it on one of my first games (completely randomly) and won't get it anymore.
I'm sure I could get it easily with a nuke, though... but why not a medal for killing the mastermind with a napalm launcher or the mega blaster ?


AoHu medals don't seem too useful to me either, since they are too redudant.

Gutt's heart ? Well, I'd rather remove (or document) the dragonslayer itself. I don't see the point of such "mysteries".

Fully agree with the idea to change how head & brain work. Currently, we get most of them through invulnerability globes, they aren't relevant.


Hell's arena pwnage medal is the only one I love among thoses. I don't remember if I manage to get it outside of AoMC (which is so lame...), but it really needs playing carefully.

No argument there - although for slow learners like myself, some of them (like HA Pwnage) seem too daunting. For the record, I voted for Gambler's Shield, Iron Skull and GC Cross, because there is indeed no skill involved in winning them.

MaiZure:
I like shinies - no vote from me!

I don't see any problem with measuring the weird and wild. I guess it would annoy people with the completionist OCD, but arguing about irrelevant medals seems...irrelevant.

I won't get more than 30 medals ever, but seeing 30/32 or 30/48 feels the same to me. I got 30! woohoo!
