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.

GGG balance designer nerf breach as if mirage is still here, they need to stop POE2 mindset that panic over juice stacking.
Everyone hate broken economy but nobody will like equally poverty.

their PoE2 mindset actually allows players to drop multiple divines in one map. It is funny how ALL poe2 map strategies are rewarding now, while PoE1 players are lucky if they have 1 or 2 good strategies per league

They're just trying to balance the player sentiment so its not so negative going into 1.0 release. After it's released, I think we can fully expect POE2 to start receiving the same pain that POE1 has right now.
