The more I play the stranger this game design seems

We're encouraged to play as fast as possible and yet there are monsters that have projectiles that explode when hitting the terrain and it can happen instantaneously when turning a corner? Seems fair (not to mention things like enrage etc. that are impossible to determine until it's too late if we're playing at the speed that is almost required)


Edit: Hello?? Lightning pylons (or whatever they're called) This fucking rare mob was 2 screens away and these pylons spawned on me and had I not moved I'd be dead. So much off screen nonsense
