Jokes aside. Just because you don't use 6 portals doesn't make the game easy. No character with over 6K HP should be able to be completely one shot without a reasonable broadcast of the attack. Reasonable is objective and I get that. Maybe your super Chad powers give you the ability to dodge attacks before they start. Maybe you Chad-hood makes you immune to death and being a good person. Whatever your objective reality is, the squeaky wheel gets the grease and your squeak is literally being drowned out by 99.9% of the PoE population. It's too hard, your just such a chad you can't fail, good for you. For the rest of us that live in reality, it needs to be nerfed.

Most didn't even bother to try and look for the windup clues for big hits and instead complained about "too much 1shots". It's like majority is complaining about Malachai's smash being OP without bothering to learn the clues and, you know, avoid the damage you can't take.

Pretty sure I've died easily over 100 times this league to Syndicate alone after reaching maps. It's the best hands-on experience to figure out what I can get hit by and what I need to avoid. Don't know what killed you? Rinse and repeat, after one of the deaths you'll get what it is that's killing you and how to avoid it.

And like all that wasn't enough... Most of the time I'm playing duo with a friend who's melee. Smite. So I have about half the ports to kill any Syndicates that have an automatic 50% increased hp. The aggro is all over the place, and it hasn't happened just once that while I'm evading a big hit I get smacked straight to the face with another big hit that was meant for my friend. Or vice versa. Hell I even lost an 81 safehouse with four captains and a lieutenant because I was partying with him. Do you see me complaining?

Maybe you think I should. Don't know. Don't care. At the end of the day it boils down to one simple thing: I'm not from the golden spoon generation where gamers think that the way to tackle difficulties is to bitch and moan to developers until they remove everything you can't handle. And if this makes me an elitist, then fuckin ell mate, I'll proudly carry that tag you find so derogatory.

Here's a simple fact: The majority are happy to see these changes. GG, GGG.

I remember how a game fucked up when devs listen majority of the players. It's called Diablo 3.

The mechanics in D3 are fine now. The issue with D3, as it has been for 4 years, is that it is in maintenance mode, but Blizzard won't admit it. If they were making regular updates and content patches/expansions, D3 would be running strong. Don't blame D3 because you're unhappy that GGG is re-balancing to appease the most people, not just a small subset of elitists.

Aah, the nerf patch hits today :( Not sure I can find time to play before it. Damn.

Less damage, less item buffs, less fort mobs, no offscreening. Welp. Back to facerolling all content without giving two shits about any map mods other than reflect.

The only bright side is that now I can start looking at which hypocrite raises their ugly head first.

let's hope thry did not overdo it ( they likely did, I know ), let's hope that players who can't build defenses still get punished by the syndicate enough.

I'm glad they are reducing the clutter though.

Stop crying and play, my god ...
