Please communicate balancing better

Since the patch that nerfed armour break i somewhat lost my will to play.
It took me almost 2 weeks to finally reach maps in hcssf only to get my build destroyed the day after.
Since then i tried playing multiple other builds but there is this constant voice in my head telling me "why bother, this can get nerfed tomorrow too" and i close the game

At the same time all the completely broken builds dont get touched, people oneshotting ubers or clearing the whole screen on other builds is no problem.
Herald of ice which uses the same chain explosion mechanic as armour break hasnt been nerfed

The whole ladder is just full of stormweavers and deadeyes and stat stackers
In hc the ladder is 90% infernalists all of those dont get touched, but nerf melee?
The nerf to armour break was probably necessary, but from what i can tell melee was already struggling with fast map clear and now its even worse, why?

And this is the main issue, i cant play underdog builds because those randomly get nerfed but i also dont want to waste time leveling a meta build because some of them seem so incredibly OP that i expect its just a matter of time until they get nerfed.


What i would like from GGG is to come forward and tell us what their goal of all of this is and what we can expect in the near future.
Are OP builds left in the game intentionally?
Is this all part of some testing strategy ?
Why nerf builds that are already on the slower side and unpopular but not the stronger popular ones ?

And dont get me wrong, im all for nerfs, the general playerpower seems extremely overtuned beyond act3, but make it make sense pls

They've done all of that over the last year explaining the vision for the game but if you choose to willfully ignore it then ya know.. try another game maybe. I heard last epoch was good

The game we have its the opposite of everything they have described.

People are running around just like in poe1 spamming 1 button to clear the whole screan, melting endgame bosses even faster than in poe1

idk what you are on about
