This game is an unbalanced mess

I love this game but I just cannot play it anymore. I have always had a problem with the visual clarity and the fact this problem takes a lot of the skill based movements based off reaction time out of the game. This isn't a deal breaker though as many times in arpgs the goal is to make your character so OP that you can now defeat your targeted content.
The thing I don't get is the inconsistency in how much damage you take across the board when not even increasing the difficulty. I had a character that walked through all ten acts untouched. Start doing tier 1 maps. Can literally afk in the middle of anything and barely even see a dip in HP. Oh wait next map lets try the league mechanic. Come out of league mech. One yellow mob. Almost dead. Why?
Ok let's go delve. Nothing is touching me. Haven't moved down a level. Let's go do this pulsating whatever node. Running for my life and end up dying to stuff that is randomly out of no where so over powered. I get it if I juiced a map. I get it when the league mech is dumbly over powered which mainly btw just makes people skip even doing the league mech most of the time until they are way over powered for the tier they are doing. But that's the way GGG has for whatever reason implemented their new mechs forever so I just got used to skipping it because they have mainly just sucked or not been worth the risk reward for a while now. And I'm not saying make the game easy. Just please be somewhat consistent? I would actually play HC but for the fact I'm not a streamer playing 10 hours a day so I don't have time to chalk up deaths to bugs and inconsistent mob strength. It just gets old after a while.
Untouchable characters dying to strong boxes. HC just being logout core. Every league mechanic being shoved in your face right from the start in a game where over leveling is already a problem. And the risk/reward factor is just non existant in most content. Which is evident in most leagues turning into circle jerk meta fests where someone figures out the best way to farm currency and then...tier 7 abyss farms and MF streams being shoved down your throat if you try to see what others are doing this league.
I know some will disagree and soooooo feel the need to tell me. Please if you get this far don't waste your time. I'm not going to read any respones. This is my first, and also my last, post on these forums. I don't care about your opinion. And that goes for people who agree. If you do agree and want to see some change please feel free to add to this. Maybe someone from GGG will see it. Probably not and even if they did they probably won't care. But if enough people felt the same way (as I know most do about the visual clarity) then maybe if not for PoE 1, then for PoE2 some of this will be kept in mind and a fix attempted.
True "balance" will never happen. In any game. And I'm not talking about builds either. I'm talking about purely the difficulty of the content and why it fluctuates so much, map mods non withstanding. Fix it now GGG or realize when PoE2 launches it's going to be the same story all over again and this time you won't have the "complexity" of the game to blame. People just don't want to deal with inconsistent power levels for the same tier of content. Please stop wasting my, and anyone who agrees with me, time.

It's a broken arcade that was cool when daddy used to go to high school, but the kids now laugh at it(or get angry when trying it)...

This league shows that in order to find something great you first have to pick up ten thousands other items from the ground instead. Fortunately for some, these ten thousand other items drop within 1 map now if u do it right^^ But it looks completely ridiculous and degenerated... I'm off playing BG 3, not going to ruin my eyes and finger anymore outside of a league start... cya ;P

Who cares?

Balance = a dull game
Everything can't be equal and there is no need for it to be.
