Most skills are being useless

Please can somebody explain to me why GGG added different versions of skills and the isue is still the same? Nobody is playing melee skills other than boneshatter and the new version of cyclone. Minion builds got new way to obtain insane specters but Animate Guardian is still dying in juiced maps and it doesn't matter how expensive gear you put on Animate Guardian. The meta is still the same as it was many years ago just trash Magic Find builds that has the most expensive items like headhunter, mageblood, progenesis, mirror tier bow.

Popularity isn't a true indication of viability. Magic Find is very good this league, which means it's very popular, which means the gear is very expensive.

Play the game your way. If you don't like the meta, don't play it. Find a reworked skill and build around it.
It is sad that the meta is to build trash builds just to have increased rarity and quantity. I feel like an old person. Where are those days when good build meant you were able to clear all bosses and all the endgame content? Now you have full youtube filled with videos of tornado shot magic find trash builds that are unable to clear 100 deli tier 16 maps without headhunter or mageblood or the overpriced flask The Progenesis. The worst meta in years.
So your problem is that other people aren't creating builds that you like?
No, my problem is that GGG is nerfing almost all the skills in the game like nerfing 6+ times cyclone for example and making good old minion builds trash due to nerf of Animate Guardian that dies even with min. maxed gear in juiced maps. So all those bullshit videos that on this league with new gems added to the game was useless because they are not being played at all. Instead the meta is build a trash magic find build and slam headhunter on it and call it a day.
It is logical that the mf league uses mf builds. But the league will end, but new gems will remain.

Cyclone has been nerfed 6+ times, and judging by poeninja, it is top 5 skill. In second place, by the way, is transfigured gem.

The meta always chooses the easiest, strongest, and most broken skills. Just play the skills you like and don't make PoE a job.

:D it is funny to say to not make POE your job when in order to have decent build these days you have to put 200+ divine orbs in it.

this is cope. there are dozens of very good builds that can be done on like 30 div budget. if you don't have the money you don't go for a 500 div build, it's simple. going for high budget builds when you're poor is like buying a wrecked ferrari when you could have just bought a cheap, working car
30 div budget? What are you on? 30 div budget builds are not even able to get to red maps these days.
That just sounds like a skill issue then.
