Unbalanced Leauge Mechanic....

This game made me rage so much already trying to play this new leauge mechanic. Its worse and less fun actually then ToTa arena. First its quite unrewarding. Second u just keep dying all the time. Mobs hitting u from offscreen and oneshotting against capped resists and block. No idea what killed me just some sudden explosions wich i could not even see just hear it. It happend so often now. Also if u manage to pull through the empowered mobs in the normal map sometimes can oneshot u to randomly when they are buffed up. This just doesnt make any sense. I playing necro to what is supposed to be one of the tanky classes... Ok my gear is far from optimized but according to POB i got over 100k eHP and i cant even survive the leauge mechanic in a tier 4 map often. Just dont get how are u supposed to build ur char. Probaly need all res capped at 90 and invest hundreds of divines.

its definitely way overtuned, i was watching nugi and pohx on streams getting absolutely fragged in white tier maps.


i tried out the league. ive run about 6 maps, this is my defence stats...


4200 life
550 energy shield
9250 base armour
18% additional phy reduction

47% attack block
73% spell block
274 life on block
139 life regen per sec


i just spent about 4 mins running in circles trying to put down a flame totem, jumping in and out of portals being chased by a rat in a tier 2 map.

a fking rat m8 xD

im a ranged spell caster, this isnt melee, im a fire dot spell build using meteor.

possessed by the league mechanic, this is a tier 2 map. i had to go through the map pulling a small couple of mobs and killing them. some of them were so insane i could barely do damage to them with about 300k fire dot while they could probably have killed me in about 5 seconds if i went toe to toe with them.

to put that in perspective, at this level of map i can essentially afk several normal rare monsters at one cause of the life on block + regen + armour and i can kill them in seconds.




im enjoying the league, im having fun. but its extremely overtuned. im playing tier 1 and 2 maps with those defence stats, devs you need to look at those stats and ask yourself who has that kind of defence when they hit tier 1 maps? lots of new players here from d4, i think they would have maybe 1/4 of my ehp? less?

im npt rly into the whole invoking the new player thing to justify a point but sometimes it is relevant and needs pointed out. i should be able to easymode yellow maps with those stats, and i could if i ignored the league mechanic. with the league mechanic its life and death in their 1 and 2. i honestly think 98% of players who hit maps are gonna hit them with less defence than i did, significantly less in most cases and ive been outright instagibbed with no warning on occasion and im struggling to survive some rare mobs.

Mobs themselves aren't really an issue. The real problem is how they appear - from below (devourers) and above (drop bears). If they just came at you normally it wouldn't be so bad. Can even kill uniques on a 4 link for now.

just to be clear im talking about in the actual map mostly, after i clear out the little forest encounter and the whole map gets possessed by the fairy dust.

if stuff like essence monsters get possessed they can become almost invulnerable monsters who move at about 150% movespeed and can 2 shot you if you dare stand still.


i have been instantly 1 shot in the actual forest thing tho by some kind of yellow dust monster, i dunno what happened, i felt in no danger couldnt see any warning signs and then i was dead in a frame.
