Can you please fix those disgusting abyss bugs?

I really can't understand why this game has so much hostility toward melee builds, especially health-based ones. Today, I started an abyss run, and the elite monsters inside seemed to be holding up signs saying "melee not welcome." Those disgusting ground effects with damage over time—are they your star feature? Moving around actually increases the damage from those effects, healing orbs don’t work, instant health potions don’t work, and even equipment can’t immunize against it. I honestly can’t think of any other way to deal with it.

I have good reason to believe that so many people play as Rangers not because the class is fun, but simply because it benefits from the experience accumulated from the first game. Meanwhile, all melee builds nowadays, especially those using Giant’s Blood, feel like they’re carrying original sin and paying off a debt. Once you’ve exhausted the foundation built in the first game, what else will you have to offer?
