Logged off after finally finding a citadel and fail because of random oneshot

Be me:
- 300+ hours in
- first citadel
- walk in, clear mobs
- die from something unseen after several mob packs
- wonder WFT happened and why you could run last 20-30 maps deathless but get oneshot in a citadel and not have a single visual clue or any other indicator of what happened. Character just randomly ripped
- loose the citadel
- loose 10%xp
- loose the loot
- log off

How is this even remotely fun or even fair? I've no idea what happened, I wasn't running any rippy modifiers. I was extra carefull in selection as it's the first citadel I find. I've run all previous (very juiced) maps without any deaths.

For the love of all our sanity as Exiles: ENOUGH WITH THE OVERPUNISHING ON DEATH STUFF! Keep the XP loss if you must but everything else needs to go ASAP.

The game is just not fun right now.

I was 200 hours. New patch. Finally a citadel. I die on boss. Fair. Look at atlas. NO MORE CITADELS. Anywhere. Not one single beacon. That is when I uninstalled again. Update offered nothing.

End game is balanced off of Atlas RNG and everyone has a different end game. Fact. (hate this)

I stopped playing post-patch. There is something wrong with the game. I keep reading this same thing about random one-shots and I myself experienced the same thing where I never have before.

A lot of patch notes seem to have the opposite effect implemented.

There are so many invisible effects going on. It's the game engine or bugs or both. Not intended.

Exactly 100%
My minions were almost the full screen away, I'm sitting around a corner because I was chatting with the guild for a moment. No visual of any attacks toward me, suddenly my 7k ES and 1.5k hp are gone.

It's sad, but true. There is just no reward to playing. It is completely, utterly unrewarding.

loose

1st Cidadel got one shot on the boss
2nd Cidadel boss die in seconds
3rd Cidadel, the boss was the blue area mana leech, he occupied the center of the blue area, to hit him I had to stay on the edge and I lost all mana in 1s (if i have more portal maybe i would find a way to defeat him)
First T16 map got one shot, after doing T15 for days without any problems.

Map Loot = is not rewarding
Reforging Bench = Shit
1 Portal for map, cidadel, boss its no fun (that one its a deal break for me, i have TDAH)
Crafting in poe1 is way better then poe2

so im out, the state of poe2 right now its not for me.
I hope they release a new poe1 league soo.
