So how good was Metamorph league?

As always, it's depend on what type of player you are:
- If you are some ultra elite who can destroy everything in 1 week, then whatever change/ mechanic is irrelevant.
- If you are some newbie looking for some fun ARPG time then this league f**k you up 10x more than any past leagues.
- As for someone in between, depend on how close you are to either end of the scale.

Overall, PoE will never be a casual friendly game where you can actually have fun playing it. Really, after lvl 92 or so, it's stress me out more than any other game if the "sense of progressing" is what i'm after. This league just strengthen the wall between experience and new player, chase away new blood.
I play standard.

I really hate the atlas changes. Bored as fuck because I get shit RNG.

Metamorph was a lot tougher than previous leagues, and I like that. While the new atlas could use some quality of life work, my only gripe is that whatshisname always seems to hint at someone he's seeking revenge over. Great, who is it, and why can't I kick his butt?

This would be a great point for a shaper/elder style fight where you have him in there helping you.

Perhaps I just missed something? Or perhaps with the change to the atlas end game GGG didn't want to introduce another end game?


Isn't this the third or fourth iteration of the Atlas? First was one of the two bosses (I forget which one) then it was both Shaper and Elder, and now it's the Conquerors. Sirus is probably hinting at the Atlas' next evolution.
To be honest, this league was as dead for me, as Legion or Synthesis. Clear speed meta, with crappy rewards.

At Blight, I had full tabs of maps, currency and the best items possible, this league I got nothing. Not a single +1 concoving wand, not a decent shield, not even a +2 helmet and so on.

The nerfs to rolls on items, was not justified. Maps drop poorly as well, I do T15 metamorph and my reward is a t3 map???

During Blight my Atlas was almost complete, just a few maps missing and this in SSF. At Metamorph, I sit at 110 and just can´t progress, as nothing drops and Zana sells low level stuff still. The league mechanic itself, is so unrewarding as well.

With Blight we did the encounter quickly, it felt like a well integrated mini game, where you could hardly fail if you had skill. At Metamorph, you need clear speed meta or you sit there for 10 minutes and the rewards are crap.

Blight I played until the last day, Metamorph just like Legion only a few weeks. The pattern continues, an amazing league is always followed by a terrible one.
You do know that Legion was the ultimate loot pinata league ever?

I liked metamorph. The laboratory was a bit disappointing and clunky though. I expected epic fights in there but instead the mean bosses were created in maps, not in the laboratory.

Atlas changes have nothing to do with the league.

Don't know why people complain. Synthesis was way worse and kinda forced you to buy stash tabs.

I lost 6 hc characters and still think its one of the best leagues. You can select your rewards. I don't like delving so I choose fossils when possible. Incursion armor (chest) is pretty good too when playing SSF.

The atlas system is kinda boring. People are running low tier maps to spawn them. Meh

League mechanic is great, rewarding, simple and quick.
But Metamorphs are too rippy. They can one shot you as soon as they come out unless you're playing a Jug or a zdps 10k HP turtle

Even 10k HP wont save you in some cases. I was one-tapped in T11 map while having 7.4k life. (some chaos res would probably help, but who cares about such things in SC)
Still enjoying it.
