POE 3.16 - Bad League

It's hard to disagree. At this point it feels like a 'void' league. I'm staying only because I almost didn't play Expedition so after 3-4 months long break I really started to miss the game so I'm fine with playing the base game. But if I'd actually played Expedition for its full length this would probably been an easy skip for me even though I rarely skip leagues and get easily entertained even by the most basic league mechanics.

I was baited by massive hype into PoE return.

I like first time in years league rewards.
I like currency stacking.

But... game is STILL SAME BAD.

Major problem is PoE foundation: you stop you die.
If you move you can avoid 90% dmg.
This is very silly and game try to kill me sending in tight places.
I think this design is fundamental mistake. Core problem.

When I play I discovered most hated thing still exist:

- I loose -10% exp on death. I'm not person who like wasting time in games.
- I wisp trade and nothing happens ( it happens waste of time often lol )
PoE GOT very nice AH, why no instant delivery system and offline function?
( BTW if you think PoE don't have AH you are very silly )
- tooltips and info I saw new name of bestiary crafts and this was moment of "this is too much of bullshit" I don't want use poedb or wiki constantly to play game. I don't want get PhD to craft items!!!
- I see overal extreme tiredness of gameplay. Systems are slow, progress are very slow.
- summoner build feels bad, low dps and survivability
- porocupines??? Why they still exist in game?? Who personally design they??? Why this preson hate players and want GGG never get any real money? This is pure sabotage of gaming experience!

GGG did a good job at ... marketing. The game itself is worse now except for stacked wisdom scrolls.

Hmm. Maybe you are right? At least the numbers are very good (Steam charts)... I wonder why.

Tbh I was a tad underwhelmed at the start of the league but after playing around a bit and reaching a higher power level (clearing early red maps)

I feel like this league is very fun to play. The streamlining of the atlas plus the new legaue mechanic actually makes playing around with the different mechanics a lot of fun.

Scourge maps are good for some nice drops if you get lucky with krangling them.

If you play hardcore however I agree this league is waaaaay too rippy

There are some QOL positives:
The changes to drop currency in stack was great. I hope to see more of it in the future.
Easy access to immunity for elemental ailments and corrupting blood opens up possibilities for more build diversity.
Atlas with less regions means faster atlas completion/faster end game.

As far as the league content goes, its bad. I agree. This kind of league is good for 5% of ppl who will manage to craft/buy something good and bad for the rest 95%.
