Is PoE2 even PoE?

Jonathan very clearly dislikes POE1. He has only ever brought it up in interviews to point out the "mistakes" that were made.

He is hell-bent on doubling down on slow movement, power/generators, and everything else antithetical to what POE1 players enjoy.

Imagine being in charge of making a second version of the game you dislike...

This wont end well..

I am also very critical of things I love. Criticism does not imply lack of care. The opposite is true
The opposite of knowledge is not illiteracy, but the illusion of knowledge.

Yeah so much "love" and "care" they made the worst retention, objectively one of lowest effort PoE1 league of all time.

You cope everywhere, in everyway possible on this forum, but it's still coping.

Oh boy you've missed a lot with the first leagues during 2013/2014 topping the current league by miles in terms of "lowest effort"

This league is actually pretty decent, aside of the slightly dry endgame. But we always had up and downs with leagues even way before PoE2 was a think so I don't know what you're onto with your theory.
Flames and madness. I'm so glad I didn't miss the fun.

How does hating on rollslop logically follow from "poe1 having objectively one of the worst leagues of all time"?
