I have one-shot fatigue

I don't think I can enjoy POE anymore and definitely not POE2

I have over 10k hours and over the last few years each league I have been playing less and less

After this huge hiatus I come back and all the same problems still remain in POE1

I played the most meta build imaginable and I'm just not enjoying it at all

GGG's main focus of figuring out how to unfairly kill players or one-shot players is the most unfun and self harming philosophy I have ever witnessed in gaming

Defenses actually used to mean you would be creating a nearly unkillable character

Now defenses are a checklist that every build must meet if they want to not constantly get 1 shot in low tier content

Even if you build defenses you still have countless mechanics that will just randomly instantly kill you

Like why do mercs have support gems that let them ignore your phys mitigation?
Why do mobs have overwhelm phys mitigation?

GGG's obsession to killing players rather than making the game fun is killing both games

Player count didn't even reach close to last peak and fell off hard

I think mercs are a great idea but they are once again overtuned
The mistake GGG has made so many times that I'm just fatigued

I don't want to wait 2 weeks for you guys to figure out some basic balancing and patch the league

I don't want to continue to die randomly in maps because you add so many b.s. mechanics and on death effects and every awful mechanic under the sun

I am sure other people are feeling this too and many of my guild members/poe friends no longer care about this game or their sequel Poe2 which has even MORE issues than Poe1...

I am fatigued with your balancing and just can't find any enjoyment in your game anymore
