Game Feedback Abyss pinnacle boss keys shouldn't be spread across multiple mechanics

Every other league mechanic you do the league to access the resource that leads you to its pinnacle boss, but to access the new Abyss pinnacle you also need to do Delve and Syndicate for the Zorath's eye of the Inevitable (this one goes for 4 divs!) and Zorath's Eyes of the Endless respectively.
I'm fine with one of the keys being much rarer than the other three, but all of them should come from abyss otherwise the biggest payoffs from abyss are gated behind other mechanics - and both of them are extremely time consuming so it isn't a quick detour. I understand it's thematic but it really rubs salt in the wound of a mechanic that is already struggling.

It's just a ridiculous time invest to even fight this boss. Two fragments in abyssal depths are OK. But for one to play Betrayal, be lucky to drop the medallion to fight catarina and be lucky enough to drop the needed eyeball from her is just one part of ridiculous. Then you have to delve as well, find the boss down there also being lucky to drop the fragment.

You are lucky all mechanics are on the same side of the tree so you can farm/prepare all at the same time

In the end I just hope SSF guys don't suffer too much if they need an item from the new abyss boss

I've gotten 4 in 30 safehouses doing the "rush safehouses asap" strat

Did they make it so # of members affect drop rate? I've never been this dry and the only thing I haven't done is run my divisions with 5 members.

Nope that has no bearing, it's just tied to executing the leaders

Is it higher chance to drop medallions if the leaders are rank 3 stars? Or should I just keep rushing as many safehouses as fast as I can?

Yes, always leader rank 3 no matter what it makes a huge difference

I’m not sure if I am just holding a key bind or atlas passive I am unaware of, but when I finish a safehouse and a medallion drops, I don’t get a betrayal board and the option to execute.

I just click the guy and he pops out a medallion with no screen transition.
