POE 3.16 - Bad League

Heard a lot of "This is gonna be the best league ever" and I was very hopeful as well, but this league is just squandering a promising mechanic in the most superficial way possible. And why oh why do GGG design so many mechanics like kill most mobs in x secs and then complain about zoomer meta ^^

Lots of good QoL additions though, gotta give GGG that.

Because in the "Vision of hard" second edition there is another nerf incoming to defensives ... so that the meta slows down =))

Preciselly, ontop of where every character created unless it is the same Meta builds that have been the streamers choices for the passed year, got absolutely destroyed with the new changes to the tree.. EVEN in normal league????

Please GGG why not atleast reverse your Standard version of the game in a seperate client to something like 3.14 incl the entire Harvest and perhaps Expedition in one, those two leagues in conjunction would aleast create fun gear progression and a challange that is paired with the power of the character where the player set it for themselves. Let normal people have some fun in the own pace. Its not fun anymore to grind days of red maps only to get the same old mediocre uniques, dps output is literally Half the values as they were with the same characters pre-update and crafting is just.. Absolutely ***** up unless you literally print currency and way too frustrating at the stage as it is atm. And what on earth is Scourge? I dont even want to comment on this patch...

Waiting for the next..

yeah this patch/league is the worst I've seen since alpha no kidding. I rather play with desync again then this horrible travesty of a game. Graphics are horribe (I mean the abundance of effects being players or monsters), party play is horrible (only works with buffers following a dps person zooming), gameplay is chaotic reflex based with almost 0 thought, just a bunch of dps checks here and there, performance is funny as I have 0 lag on delirium 100% but lag as hell doing maven LOL/scourge in some maps. Ah and balance is the worst having some builds in godmode and anothers playing as hardmode so I see no point on trying new things. And honestly scourge is the memest league with rewards so ridiculous that deserve to be on std forever (talking about krangled). Scourge maps are nothing but delirium loot showers so 0 imagination or creativity.

So 90% of the problems is not even league related but the game itself.

Delve is super accessible this league and you dont need a zero life icicle miner to make any profit.

Way easier to get defenses now. Every build can reach a decent level of armour which makes a huge difference.

Reduced atlas makes getting to endgame easier.

League drops insane amount of currency because scourge monsters interact with beyond.

League is dangerous, like in the top third of all leagues but by far not the most rippiest league ever made.

Just look at poe ninja their are tons of none meta builds that can do all content. Just learn how to make builds instead of following guides or listen to 3 streamers constantly promoting the same stuff...

League is so juicy it's insane...


GGG was smart to bring beyond back after two leagues.

My only complaints are that there are mobs in scourge that don't give stacks (beyond, expedition, others), and that delirium doesn't stop while in nightmare.

The rewards are great! IIQ bonus really pays off if you reach 200+ stacks reliably.

Scourge is great! I went with a SSF Static Strike Berserker as my league starter and dropped a Doryani’s Prototype while leveling rogues and I've never had a more zoom zoom build. T16 scourge viable with 190 stacks. No downsides on my krangled gear only upsides.

I wish folks would look for the opportunities in new leagues rather than looking back at what was.

The league is bad I agree completely.
Skill tree with masteries is actually a nerf in my opinion than what it was before.
Scourge offers no items to strive for.
Mobs in this league are just ridiculous, the speed and the damage is insane and the worst part is that you don't even see what killed you in most cases.
I died so many times with nothing being around me, felt like I was desync.
All in all, for me personally, this league was a huge disappointment, I expected more.
And to sum it up, I ll just give you an example what they did over and over again and ruined the game.
Explosive arrow was a trash skill for the most part of PoE history, but I loved the skill. Then they finally reworked it and it was perfect, you could actually play with it and do all content. Then, next league, they buried it and it is now unusable. EA is just one of the many fun skills that are now pure trash, and I refuse to play a game that makes me play something that I don't enjoy(traps etc)

+ QoL stack scrolls, fragments, etc

XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD



What good is the shit to me if Chris Wilson isn't able to fix the Atlas bug within a month? I have to take the stacks out before I can start the atlas anyway.



The best thing to do is to have a streamer interview about a mid-30-year-old with blue hair.

Probably more interesting than addressing any bugs or fixing them accordingly.

Will be regulated in 3.18 at some point.
