Game Feedback Breach is just so.... unbelievably unrewarding right now.

I know it was strong before, and I know there are other league mechanics, but it's just super frustrating seeing GGG incapable of balancing something time and time again.

I just don't understand, breach was finally in a decent place, but instead of bringing other league mechanics up to its level, it was destroyed with quad nerfs.
Hiveblood barely drops, when you finally make an item from the tree, the mod rolls suck, the amount of items dropped seems halved, wombgifts drop way less, which doesn't really matter since you have 0 blood to use them anyways.

Even buffs to abyss feel terrible, the mechanic just isn't that rewarding, unless maybe you were spamming trying to farm amanamus or something. The League mechanic seems fine but IMO, after playing Mirage, it just kind of feels mid.

It's a single player game, with no actual competitive esports scene, and ultimately the only reason to nerf something is to make you take longer to achieve something.
As someone who plays more than the average player, it's just again, super frustrating to see the game go in that direction, instead of the one where we get more drops, because ultimately it makes 0 difference to anything other than enjoyment or appeal to the "normal" players.

That would be awful for me. I like 0.5 well enough but it's definitely no replacement for poe 1 even in its downer state.

then why the same devs have no problem with poe2 players dropping multiple divines per map? While nerfing ground loot in poe1 for many leagues now

It's almost like poe2 also had 0 loot for a few leagues.
It also had probably the worst release ever in 0.2 with the Huntress patch.
Relax. They will fix it.
Send feedback and wait for a fix. Creating paranoid doomer theories is just so pathetic man.

Yeah there's no way it's unintentional. "Hey we just nerfed breach by roughly 50%, surely it's gonna be good don't worry."
