GGG rollercoaster of incompetence in Invasion league

With the amount of negative feedback they get from invasion I'm just wondering how they feel right now at GGG's headquarter.
I would seriously question my skills.
That being said let's keep in mind it's their first game, they will make mistakes eventually.

Well, since they're making situation even worse, with the recent exile complaints about one-shots, my guess would be that they think everything is great.

They obviously like one-shot mechanics, I don't know why would they think that Invasion failed.

GGG's first game and a new team member designing these bosses. Was it the right decision to make sure they got into the game for this 4 month league? I don't think I am qualified to answer that question, though I will certainly say that they could have expanded the down time between leagues to get it tweaked more thoroughly. Especially since they wanted to dive into cut throat testing, could have made a whole cut-throat between seasons season to keep the frothing foaming player base at bay while everything was rounded out for the leagues.

Would the player base be accepting of a longer downtime between leagues to allow for a longer test window? (could be made into it's own loveable disposable time frame)

now i am not sure it has anything to do with testing, atleast with invader bosses, because its really easy to tweak numbers and it can be done in few hours.
Problem is in their heads and you cant fix that, dmg is intentional.
They do want for some reason invader bosses do 20k dmg hits which cant be avoided by skill, gear or build, just pure luck.

Its like when you enter a map, game rolls the dice if you will survive or not. Seriously though, is anyone else really tired trying to figure out why are they doing this?
I mean, i stoped trying to understand people motives in RL, because noone can do that and its futile, but in this game they do so much illogical things that my brain hurts :))

Another edit lol :)

What if we look at this from another perspective?

What if there is no reason behind they decisions, maybe they just dont know what they are doing and just experiment, throw shit in and see what will happen?

I mean that is only valid explanation to me for vaal orb and mostly every move they did last few months.

Certainly they wanted bosses that posed a challenge for players that have shown they decimate everything produced to date. They wanted bosses that used the very tactics players are using to destroy content. In that vein it is a pretty ingenious idea, not just reflect damage, but reflect tactics back at the players. I think that the idea is sound, the delivery need longer to bake.

If a boss can one shot you, but you can one shot the boss, it can make a very good cat and mouse game, not so much if the boss one shots you and you need 500 hits to kill the boss.

What i am trying to say GGG, you are just bunch of nerds and noobs who stumbled upon a jewel and you are fucking destroying it. You are not gamers and you dont know what is best for this game. Stop your arrogance destroying your game, and listen to smart people, people who are gamers and maybe your game will have a future.

Pretty much my opinion on the whole matter (although I'd be less harsh). I have this problem everywhere else though: disgusted with the competence of diablo 3 balance/designers, sc2 balance/designers, aoe/aom balance/designers, ...,

If how to make a good game was any more subjective I'd think I'd be the insane one.

i dinged 95.. only one activly maping with me is nastakanoth atm, rest of my flist is dead for weeks now

RESTART the league

Lose a lv86 char due to desync by black EK spider an hour ago and have the exact same feeling with OP, the broken foundation of the game is just disappointing and make it not playable.
It's really a joke that GGG says the game is hardcore while the hardcore leagues is not playable.

Agreed. Few more days...

Etup hasn't played for over 2 weeks. I think that says it all.
