Quick question. How is it ignoring gameplay as its designed? It was originally designed to allow people to use the platform. It might not have been the ideal way to beat said boss but that is how it was originally designed. It does not ignore boss mechanics because that's how it was originally designed. Was it taken advantage of? Yes because it made that fight easier. Does it ignore the mechanics? Not in the least because players used the terrain to their advantage. And I'm sorry if you can't beat the Templar before the enrage timer goes off on that platform then you need better gear.
