Do something about Meteor Shrine... Fix or Delete

Seriously, this Shrine alone makes it better to AVOID all shrines on maps. On tier 15 it hits for 10k damage.

Shrines are suppose to buff, but the reality is you want to avoid these like the plague.

Wish I'd seen this before losing my HC L77 Titan to the first of these I encountered. Didnt even get near it before it insta-one shot me with 3k ES and 3K health. Zero time to react.

There's a small red circle on the ground where they are gonna hit for like 3 seconds before they even do anything, I thought this was one of the easier ones too dodge.

The lighting one feels like it hits me so fast sometimes and that one feels way faster and harder to avoid.

I mean yes the meteor is gonna 1 shot you but it's gotta be one of the easier to dodge things in the game comparatively

Playing a game like PoE in HC without actually knowing the game and then complaining that you die is like driving with a blindfold and then complaining when you crashed into a wall.
Also, zero time to react? Those meteors have one of the most obvious and long telegraphs in the game.
i'm not a big fan of meteor or lighting shrine either, they're suppose to help and i don't think it's needed that they deals domage before you trigger them tbh.
I susually quickly pick the meteor one and right click on the icon to get rid of it.

Speaking of shrines - most of the them are annoying and useless. Every drop converted to gold? More exp? Chance for an item to drop corrupted? Increased rarity? And these all last for how long - 40 seconds? 60 seconds? I mean I get it - D2 homage. But please, either remove them completly or make them last for an entire map - that way at least it will add another layer to a map and be somewhat exciting.

Why do you get rid of it after you pick it up?
The shrines deal too much damage upon approach. The lightning bolt one has 1shot me on numerous occasions. I thought it was a boss with a super-powered Storm affix, no - it was just the novel support object that's supposed to make a map more enjoyable.

Tone it down, GGG
shrines that provide a player buff should not be damaging players under any circumstances. Thats just stupid.

It's annoying, loud and it adds nothing useful that I can't do without it.
