I think GGG trying to make the game harder or better for streamers killed it for everyone else.

Oh right, GGG totally killed the game for everyone else… by doing the opposite and steadily making it easier every league, more player power, smoother progression, and way more busted mechanics.
Builds are doing triple the damage while being tankier to borderline immortal. Yeah, clearly just streamer biased changes.

Poe has become less about making a build work and more about doing what the designers want. Any player can feel it when using unsupported skills. Look what happened to chaos dot, it is so much more clunky and slow then what it was designed to be.

When every build needs spell suppression or 85 max res, you messed up.

Chaos dot isn’t in the greatest spot, sure, but it’s still perfectly viable if you care enough to build around it. PoE is all about making your own thing work.
Spell suppression is strong, but not mandatory, plenty of builds on the left side prove that.

If anything, the game gives you more freedom now to customize your character, not less. Higher max res is more accessible than ever, letting you squeeze out extra EHP and giving room for mistakes. But at the end of the day, sitting at 75% is still more than enough to handle all content.
