Why are summoners so weak early on?

I know its a class most beginners play who can't twink out their characters.

I never understood why they're so weak early on, mobs cut through minions like paper. While this is a good thing to some extent when you get MI but when people tell you "Leeching early on is the best way" kinda sounds like bad balance.

I guess my inquiry is, why is the transition so horrible? Compared to a ground slam Mar with no gear, I do a lot better than summoner. So why is the transition through the early levels so bad? Is there ever going to be any plans to smooth it out?






Just play elemental cleave untill you get the usefull summoner's passives and lvl up your summoner gems . Plan your build good , you can't play only with summons - I mean you can but it's slow e.g. your clear speed will be abysmal .
