Melee characters and AOE

How has so little sense been put into the early game and the fact you have melee characters. So many enemies and especially bosses drop on ground effects meaning you can't get close enough to hit them! A generally miserable experience and I just ended up turning it off. POE is so good, what made you decide to ruin it for POE2?

git gud

Act 1 melee in poe2 is genuinely peak melee gameplay imo. Its later in the game when stacking rare modifiers make it unfun.
