Awakened gems replacement?

so you took away a massive amount of power from most builds that used Awakened support gems (check the older builds in POB) with ZERO compensating for the difference? so its a blanket nerf for many builds that were not even overperforming or anything? and the upgrade was expensive to boot?
please tell me im wrong and there are replacements for this lost power

It's a nerf, get over it.
Have you tried the new gem imbuing from Mirage? Oftentimes the bonus level 1 support baked into the skill gem makes back the loss of damage.
PoE players: Our game has a wide diversity of builds.

Also PoE players: The [league mechanic] doesn't need to be nerfed, you just need to play a [current meta] build!

The others found strength in their Afflictions. They became reliant on juice. I am not so foolish.

too random and too expensive a system tbh not to mention it might not even go core.

its also too volatile swaying wildly between OP going for 100div and totally bricked

Previously: ggg nerfed poe1 for unification of poe2.
Nowadays: ggg did separated poe2, but still nerf poe1 cause thay have corporate problems and that's why they can't stop sh&fting themselves

I'm afraid there are skills built into items that can't be enhanced with coins. Especially since there's a good chance they won't be in the next league.
Death Aura has huge nerf.
Exceptional gems themselves have increased mana cost, the seventh link gives increased mana cost.
We hope that new Exceptional gems will be added in the next league. Otherwise, it will be a lose-lose.

it results in the whole META being 5 builds once again because they blanket nerfed many builds by removing a core thing that was in the game for like 10 years

How so?
Cause people can't copy the exact same build and gems of a previous league, and now have to use the new or different gems for the same or better results? truly groundbreaking
Flames and madness. I'm so glad I didn't miss the fun.
