Why do people feel entitled to ascension?

[/quote] So basically, stop playing whatever build they're playing and play something else? What are Summoners supposed to do? They can't afford to switch various skills in and out, or put certain skills on a weapon swap. If the key to labs is "use a different build", then the problem is with the content, not the player.[/quote]

My golem summoner did umber lab 7 times last league,with 6es. Maybe rethink your summoner.

My zombie summoner in beta did cruel lvl55, at lvl 56.
Normal through merc is easy.
Whats hard for summoners is umber trials. Those infinity mob spawners can suck.

My answer to OP.

You merely just returned to the game. Play for another few months and you will start to agree with us.

Period.
All of us used to think like you when Ascendancy was first introduced then two/three months later we all realized the labyrinth is nonsense.

I highly doubt it my dear.

Depends on how far you get into the endgame. Let us know how optional ascendancy feels when the boss you're facing down has literally millions of HP. One or two labs just isn't going to cut it.

Two hundred years ago, horses were standard on the road. When the car was introduced, people said "zomg so OP!", some historical inaccuracy aside. Today, if you rode a horse on most roads you'd be arrested (horses need a buff!) Times change man. You're seeing PoE as it was ages ago, before shaper and before atlas...ascendancy is no longer a commodity but a necessity, and a necessity that is locked behind content that many people don't like is...less than ideal.

@OP: run the Lab a couple of hundred times and then get back to us.
