Ritual is really problematic sometimes
I'm surprised this still hasn't been fixed but the fact rituals can randomly spawn anywhere sometimes leads to really bad situations.
GGG wants us to do combos and not have to play builds that instantly delete the screen with one button, well how are you supposed to survive when a ritual spawns in a tiny corridor with barely any space to move around, you instantly have 30 mobs boxing you in to the point there isn't space to roll out, ignited ground in what little space the ritual is giving you, and a heat seeking tornado on top of you?

Lmao this is why I absolutely hate ritual. I always seem to get crammed into a corner with those stupid plants that absolutely annihilate me. Give me delirium or breach all day long though haha.
Just wanted to comment on ur combos thing, I just put down dark effigy and cast despair, maybe a contagion, and wait for everything to die. I get it if your build can’t not saying its like a good thing but, there are builds that don’t suffer from this issue.
Yeah, most of the game feels that way.
A lot of effort was put into combat but maybe first 2 acts of campaign support that design, rest of the content is delete screen or die
… heat seeking tornado of RATS…
Bleed Huntress using Spearfield to massacre the masses. I love small passageways and fast enemies. I look for the corner, drop 3 Spearfields, and let the chaos commence.
Even when it is full size, Ritual is too rippy for many builds that do not instantly delete the screen. Mobs can spawn on top of you and are usually very fast and you do not have an option to run away like you can in Breach if you feel you cannot handle it.
they have a fix for this and its in PoE1
the large fortification encounters from betrayal will spawn in thier own somewhat separated rooms, that has plenty of space for you to do the thing, no idea why we cant have that with rituals.
Funniest thing happened to me today, u know the corridors that lead to the middle of Augury? There was a ritual right by the door, a wisp captured a rouge exile so i had to fight her, it was the pink herd of cows that run at u, i killed her and started the ritual. She was respawned by the ritual and I had to fight her in a small area (the wisped version of her spawned of course), oh and the map had "players have 105% less recovery of health and mana shield" which means ur life ask doesnt heal u. Luckily i managed to dip behind a wall, open a portal and use it whenever i got low until she died. That girl was healing like hell.
It's a lot better than at launch at the very least, glad they fixed the bug where some rituals literally couldn't start
