New Pinnacle bosses are a joke + server issues

I was really hyped hearing we have 3 new pinnacle bosses.
On the GGG live when they showed them Mark even said "good luck exiles" like it will be a challenge.

So far I have gotten to 2 new Pinnacle bosses. In both instances after the intro when the fight starts the screen freezes and after 30 seconds it unfreezes but the only thing I see are the loading cogs and I hear the fight.

You know what's funny? I see how my hp is affected by the boss (slightly) and I just hold my skill button and the boss losses hp (still seeing the loading cogs). The screen loads after a minute or so and the boss has 1/2 hp :D

Just to clarify I don't have an OP build or anything. Maybe 3-4div in total and I really struggled through the T16 maps to get to the boss. It was really hard.

But the boss itself turns out I can afk kill not even having the visuals working. This has to be fixed.

It’s really no surprise the tutorial phases for new bosses don’t slap you around too hard, that’s kind of by design so players don’t get instantly deleted before learning the moves.

Also, the extra power creep this league definitely doesn’t help make that first encounter feel scary to be honest.

By far the worst and most uninteresting boss design ggg has ever come up with.

I held little to no interest in the "expansion" itself after doing some originator maps and the first boss, but for the sake of it I rushed through all of them to see if the rest would be any better... I wasn't this disappointed since kalandra.

The rest of the league is great; uniques, balance, mercs, etc but damn this expansion is a giant miss in my opinion.
