Tier 1 Lava Lake boss totally ruined my will to play

I am total scrub and casual. But:

It was perfectly fine in the story mode. Bosses- no problem, Izaro-no problem. Resistances capped, 3k life with MoM.
Then i started mapping. Tier one yellow map totally ruined my will to play. Lava Lake boss is way too overtuned, too much, too strong adds. I died like 5 times, without possibility to act in 2 of 4 deaths, being stunlocked\frozen, etc. Thats too much for tier 1, thats too hard for tier 1.

You can just ignore it and do it later. It doesn't need to be your first map. Strand and Mausoleum are no problem..

I agree. But i still dont understand the logic here. Why they made it so hard?

It is supposed to be ignored unless you're streamer (GGG vision)

Stay out of Crimson Township as long as possible.

We told GGG that this type of bosses is annoying and will be ignored en masse. What did they do? Added incredibly strong ads that drop stuff to make the fight more interesting. Its incredible how in some situations they do the exact opposite of what they should

The logic is that you get better at the game, no sarcasm. Better gear, better build, better approach.
I and other even moderately experienced players run through that Boss.

The way the game is made, in a modular way just sticking bits together, things like this happen, AN mobs that are harder than the boss in an arena will make a T1 map boss fight stupidly hard. There's no design in the fight, just RNG. You might get AN mobs that you can manage, you might not.

Being lucky matters. Maps with their random modifiers and mods with their random affixes will sometimes make stuff impossible but that's what happens when the designers put so much faith in RNG.

I mean if I’m on a weaker build I guess I’d prefer to be taking this boss on at tier 1 than tier 13 or something, is I suppose the silver lining.

Still, I think it should be barred from being at tier 1 just for pacing/variety. Kitava is the thing players do immediately before tier 1 maps. Don’t give them Kitava again straight away.

on RF that boss was easy....never done that map again though because the boss takes too long. i try to avoid phased bosses in general
