Was the Affliction League in Path of Exile 3.23 the best or worst league ever? Let’s discuss!

"Affliction league started off as a wild ride with new ascendancies and cool build choices, but it turned into a pure magic league with insane currency inflation. It's like finding a needle in a haystack, and don't get me started on the mirror drops - it's like losing your virginity to a prostitute. The power spike in this league is way too much, and I hope the next league has less loot. Overall, not my favorite league. Can't wait for the next one!" 🎮🔮 #PoEInsights

Hey guys and welcome to a new video. I want to discuss a question that has been asked since the league ended: was this the best league ever made, or was it actually the worst league ever made? In this video, I'll be talking about the player experience and providing my opinion. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below.

The Amazing Beginning ✨

The first two to three weeks of the league were amazing. The new ascendancies, customizations, and build options were a breath of fresh air for many players. However, some issues with certain skills and gems became apparent after the initial excitement.

Ascendancies and Customizations

The new ascendancies and customizations opened up a plethora of build choices, making the game more exciting and varied.

Transfiguration and Alternate Qualities

The addition of transfiguration and alternate qualities brought about more choices and opportunities for players to customize their builds, making the league more enjoyable.

The Turn for the Worse 😞

Unfortunately, as the league progressed, it became apparent that the focus had shifted to magic finding and currency accumulation, detracting from the overall player experience.

Inflation and Magic Finding

The league led to a significant inflation of currency, making it feel like the main focus was on magic finding rather than engaging with the game's content.

Currency and Value

The imbalances in currency and the overwhelming focus on magic finding detracted from the core gameplay experience for many players.

The Dark Side of the League 🔮

The league's emphasis on currency led to issues such as inflated item prices, making it difficult for players to engage in meaningful trades and transactions within the game.

Item Pricing and Crafting

Prices for items and crafting materials skyrocketed, creating a frantic environment where basic items became unreasonably expensive.

Power Spike and Loot Inflation

The league's excessive loot drops and power spike created an imbalance that detracted from the strategic and skillful aspects of the game.

Conclusion 🎮

In conclusion, while the league started with great potential, it ultimately fell short due to issues related to currency inflation, power spikes, and an overwhelming focus on magic finding rather than engaging with the game's content.

Key Takeaways

• The league began with promising features and customization options.
• However, the focus on currency inflation and magic finding led to a diminished player experience.
• The imbalances in item pricing and excessive loot drops detracted from the core gameplay.
