New endgame is just sad, boss were not challenging,

My best description of the league or rather past few leagues and phercia is:
,,just go es/int stacker put random spell and trivialize the game"
Maybe don't play cracked meta builds and the bosses won't be trivial. I personally think the new pinnacle bosses were the most reasonable GGG has ever made them. No offscreen 1shots, no invulnerability phases that wipe the arena if you failed to complete a puzzle quickly enough or dodge a rippy bullet hell that short-circuits ADHD brains, no arenas matching the color theme of the boss's attacks.
Sirus was absolutely awful, Maven was an improvement, and Eater did better. It's like GGG is starting to understand that difficulty shouldn't boil down to 1shots you can't see due to it coming from offscreen or buried under a mountain of particle effects.
Hey :( I didn't play any of those builds. I started rolling magma and swapped to locus mines into new WOC.
Also in case of those bosses they were so underwhelming that even starter build could just out heal their damage using potions.
I refuse to play and frankly don't understand how did they forgot to nerf energy blade when nerfing EE.
And even more how tf Coruscating Elixir is still 20/50 with increased duration built in?

there is quite the difference between good builds, bad builds, and the completely broken ones. However the problem with new bosses are they not only do not have 1 shot mechanic they barely do any damage and their mechanics are nothing new or ground breaking.
3 years ago when they added Eater/Exarch I remember that race was something to get exited about. People competing in race chose to wait and gear to even try to complete them. We respected new Bosses even more after Ben deaths.
These ones were completed during first 12h even when half of the World couldn't play, and people from hc (after Ben video) were still more scared of old pinnacle bosses than this joke.
I remember that I encountered a bug where the last flower wouldn't spawn and you know what? Nothing. I was running in arena for 15 minutes during ,,bullet hell" phase taking next to zero damage.
Calling them ,,new endgame bosses" when I was literally more scared of the Shrek in swamp is quite a joke when we take into account they worked more than a year on this.

nobody said anything about broken builds, he said meta. meta doesn't mean broken, the people that are completing the game within 12 hours are just 100x better at the game than everybody else. that's the simple fact, it's the user not the build

Regardless of what they say its obvious they really wanted everyone to jump on POE 2 so they could sunset POE 1, and they held out as long as possible before realizing it wouldnt happen. Now they do this half baked league with mechanics that mostly only benefit mirror tier crafters after a year of no leagues.
Im enjoying it only because I havent played since Necropolis. But probably about to take another 18 month break from the game again.
POE 2 Ill not touch until they change end game. Im not running 30 white maps to run 5 juiced ones, its the most cooked end game of any ARPG on the market.

I have fun in Mercenaries, not because I haven’t played for a Year but because the game is good. And I do prefer it more than POE 2 at the moment, I’m not doing those horrible towers mechanic just to play a proper map.
