Never felt so unmotivated for a league before

Comming off a strong previous league where I went further then ever before to reach the 36 challenge rewards of the mixed elements character effect and reached the heights of the new end-game I was looking forward to this league expecting a fresh balance and a better mechanic.

instead what we get from the announcement as features for this league is:
1) no balance changes
2) no new skills
3) Archnemesis baseline
4) sentinel
5) further endgame bossfight
6) New atlas notables/keystones.
7) new challenges and rewards

I'm always fine with 5) but it doesnt motivate me an encounter I might see a couple times a league, it's too insignificant.
Number 6, The new atlas keystones and most importantly the option to lock out content is by far my favorite feature introduced this league but the it gets completelly shut down by 7).
The new challenges are both too grindy, and require specific content and atlas builds to even be possible, then they are massivelly rng. I tend to base my objectives for a league around these objectives, however an armor set is what I least care about, after wings and pets. I have soo many colorful and pretty sets. The ones for the new challenges are very detailed, but the color is pretty bland and I see no reason to go for them. This alone means I probably won't go as hard on a league as usual.
I have never felt so unmotivated before a league as well. Balance changes are the THING I always get most hiped about, especially when its love to underused skills I care about like fire burst/rolling magma/ice spear.
Getting absolutelly nothing there means I just decide to go back to an old build I havent touch in a couple of years. I was so unmotivated I spent less than 30min updating it in pob and didn't even notice when friday league lauch was the very next day.
Sentinel from the very announcement stream didn't look fun at all. I hate the micromanaging that goes before every single map, or midmap trying to optimize mechanics. Sentinel hits both sides with FOMO, need to optimize sentinels/sentinel tree/sentinel usage, The rewards didnt look that good either and the new changes it bring to item crafting felt entirelly useless to the 99.999%, the league just isnt fun, doesn't bring anything new and just feels clunky and inconvenient.
As for archenemesis, that a whole other can of worms, I'll just surmise that effigy has to disapear, flame strider burning ground is still 300% too much, (invulnerable in incursion is also a wut?), and as always lightning strider is a dumb, annoying and overpowered mechanic which is still number 3 in stuff I'd delete from the game, after stun and corrupted blood but now is x5 more common.
I've reached maps and the game just feels miserable. I don't care about challenges or sentinel, every maps feels sloggier than the next, xp loss on death is still a thing for whatever reason on top making the unbalance extra unfun.

My advices for GGG.
1º ALWAYS BALANCE, especially just touching up weak skill, it takes literally a guy less than an afternoon to do but makes such a big diference.
2º Challenges this league were a mistake. They aren't challenging to do, they are just grindier than ever and the rewards by far don't justify. If the same rewards were given last league I might barely have felt motivated to 36, but ever harder is a big fat no, I got a life and an hour of work lets me buy a better mtx than the 500h it's gonna take me to grind the last achieves.
3º Sentinel is just bad I don't know what you were thinking.... noone asked for it, it has no purpose, no lore, no engagement, fixes and accomplishes nothing.
