Feedback as to why this game is not enjoyable (for me at least) in it´s current state.

My personal thoughts on what would really make this game more enjoyable or even worth playing for me personally.

Add a death recap/log. The random oneshots and deaths out of nowhere makes the game truly hard to enjoy. In PoE 1, Diablo 4, Last Epoch, Diablo 2, Diablo 3, Torchlight 1-3, Borderlands games, Dwarven Realms, Grim Dawn, The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing and other ARPG´s when you die it is obvious what killed you and several of these games also have a death recap so you can see where you went wrong and what defense you should improve or what attack is extra deadly. In PoE2 so far this league alone I have died 3 times and only one of these times I know what killed me and that was Act 4 trapped chest where I died on the other end of the zone 6-7 seconds after the timer went out. The other times I just died randomly on my CI char in the middle of a map with full ES and nothing dangerous on my screen except a couple of white mobs. I spent 30 minutes trying to figure out why I died but still do not know how I after hours of playing without feeling like my character was in danger went to just being dead randomly while still on full ES. Then I got hit by The Prisoner in A4, an autoattack I guess because no mechanic indication and nothing big happening on my screen and that took 1k life, 2k+ ES with 75% resistances and 15% damage reduction from unique crown and passive tree in one random hit. I also tested tanking his abilities and with that gear I could facetank all of his abilities that had a warning without issues and I couldnt get oneshot again after trying.

Second least enjoyable part is the dodge mechanic feeling super clunky. The idea is pretty cool and I personally like how it is implemented in Last Epoch where it was added to not force everyone to spec in to a blink or movement ability making them able to balance mechanics around everyone having some sort of dodge.

The first one is the major reason I doubt I will be back for several leagues unless I am super bored and all other games have some horrible league, nothing to do at work and the gym is permanently closed. Unless something changes around the "random" deaths, then I might try it again.

The second part would just make the game feel smoother if it was implemented differently, but I doubt that this will ever change since it is a part of the "vision" for the game being a Souls like game in ARPG format.

When not even the streamers, who play this for a living, look like they enjoy the game but rather forced to play it while waiting for next PoE1 league or a new league in some other game and pretty much all of them abandoned HC and HC SSF except for like 2 streamers I don´t see this game having fun races and events in the current state to draw in more people.
