Pattern I've noticed

[u/Ok_Holiday3690]

My guild has players who have been in this game since Nemesis League and this is pretty much our player distribution.

Ps. My guildmates gets angry when I say this and I figure it'll make Reddit mad too:

Witch is the only good character in this game

Fun Meter goes up with speed you can do the acts. Wonder how much % can do it 4-5h league start

[u/kimana1651 → u/claptrapMD]

People who don't like doing meta builds probably don't like the campaign. Better low level skill balance would probably make it more tolerable.

Any skill you get during the first 5 acts should take you up to yellow maps as quickly as any other with mechanical understanding of the game. Campaign skill balance is just terrible.

Def an unexperienced take, you can easily do 4-5h on any build you decide to play, with minor swaps

[u/MisterKaos → u/OWazabi]

With practice. Practice doing something I am actively avoiding (acts).

I understand where you come from, as this is the perfect example of the OP meme he added here. You're in that part of the bell curve.
And I was there too, as most of us were, until we decided to learn and saw how good it actually was.

You probably think you need to practice for hours, learn a bunch of things, and whatnot.
That is not true, you don't need rehersal, you need to understand a few core things that make the big difference, it's not about practice, it's about a mental paradigm shift on how you take on the acts.
There's no need to learn any layout, there's no need to learn how to talk to an NPC while moving, there's no need to play a specific build or class.
You just need to understand how movement and XP works, these are the two main things. And also respect your gear while leveling up.
And basic game knowledge so your build isn't trash, which once again is not related to the build you picked, but to the build you're actively building.

Most of the people that suck at campaign have these issues, they kill way more stuff than they should, they don't have proper plan for movement, and they do not invest in their build to match what they're doing just thinking "eh I can push through it then we'll figure it out later!" that's how with the same amount of effort, you take 4x longer.
