When Chris says that lab haters are a minority, how right is he?

There is one thing that this poll has shown us so far:
In the amount of time this thread has been active. Only 2,242 votes have taken place. (at the time of this post) There are on average 8-9k players on playing the game throughout a 3 month league. You are missing roughly 75% of voting power. Which makes this straw poll null and void. The thing that this poll clearly does show, is that people that are unhappy with game content are more likely to visit the forums to voice there concerns. |

Getting one shot by izaro in uber lab is just not very fun. It's his windslash.
It's really fucking frustrating to clearly avoid the shot entirely by leap slamming out of the way, and all the sudden you're dead, even though clearly the animation missed you. Two problems here: 1) This move is just way too much damage, one shot mechanics are just not very fun. You can make it interesting or challenging in other ways... 2) If you move out of the way by the time windslash wizzes past you, IT SHOULD NOT KILL YOU. My understanding (after reading through forums) is that the damage is calculated at the start of the move. Please tell me GGG, what's the point of making an unavoidable one shot mechanic that will still kill you EVEN IF YOU MOVE OUT OF THE WAY? |

" Actually, for statistical purposes a 25% population sample is pretty damn solid. Regardless of the poll, GGG will have their own data showing them clearly how players interact with the Labyrinth. Obviously, the carrots placed at the end of the Lab provide sufficient incentive for most people to at least run through each difficulty once. Others run numerous times for the enchant lotto, while plenty of others can't be arsed. If nothing else I think we can all agree that the Lab is a divisive element of PoE. Considering the prominence it has been given in the game, I don't think that's a very good result. |

" It's actually one of the least divisive elements. It unites a large portion of the population in hating it. Take any other aspect of the game, from something small like a popular unique to something large like the time required to hit lvl 100, and I'm willing to bet the players' opinions will be more evenly divided in two camps. You have to be realistic about these things.

" Far as I know (not tested myself) the animation for the slash is lying in 2 aspects: 1) The area of effect is far wider than the main part of the slash animation. 2) It hits instantly over the whole area. It does not "travel" as the animation implies. It is not unavoidable. You just need to know that the animation does not represent the effect properly. In order to best avoid it you can try circling around him at close range. Disclaimer: My post is not an attempted defense of GGG. IMO this is a major screwup by GGG. No wonder it's lost, it's in the middle of the jungle!

I hate the lab, it's the worst thing GGG could done, when the lab was announced i was happy for it, when i meet this infernal, diabolical thing called labyrinth, I thought "ok, now GGG will fix this piece of shit in next patch or remove it from the game"
Instead that Chris Wilson said that lab haters are minority and lab it's their best achievement so far. Well Mr. Wilson i´m not agree with that. "This Is A Buff" (Bex_GGG august 30, 2016)

" The labyrinth requires you to think, be responsive and makes your choices matter... uberlab is the most enjoyable and rewarding content currently in the game. | |

I did an uber lab last night with the full charges and condiuts as an assassin. Any hit would have killed me. It was quite thrilling, and I was rewarded with 7 keys. It was one of my best PoE experiences yet.

" Presumably, the base for that alleged statement is the frequency for lab-runs. Which, since ascendancy-points is equal to character progression, most likely is quite high. It would be interesting (to say the very least) to see the statistics for frequency of lab-runs, if Ascendancy-points were gained by some other non-lab related means. I dare you, GGG! :D |
