Diablo 4 Season 4 is perceived by fans as just a stopgap until the add-on Vessel of Hatred.
Many players have been eagerly awaiting the start of Season 5 in Diablo 4 But what was intended to be a breath of fresh air in the world of Sanctuary turns out to be more of a lukewarm breeze for many fans.
The reactions on Reddit and other platforms show: The community is dissatisfied – and the new content from Season 5 is simply not enough.
That’s why Diablo 4 Season 5 is under fire
One of the main criticisms of Season 5 is the lack of innovative season mechanics.
While previous seasons have introduced at least some new features or game mechanics, Season 5 seems to focus mainly on balance updates and new uniques. The new Hell Hordes are hardly worth a season of their own.
Reddit users Humble-South-9476 sums it up as follows:
It’s basically Season 4.5, nothing really new, just a few adjustments and additional items. I’m glad the expansion is coming soon, but we shouldn’t give Blizzard too much credit for what is essentially a filler season.

Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred – Preview video: We’ve already played the big add-on!
Many players also complain that Diablo 4 offers significantly less extensive and exciting seasonal content than games like Path of Exile and Last Epoch.
So writes CruyffsLegacy:
It’s the same game as in Season 4, only more boringbecause we have played all this before. (…)
The players who believe Diablo 4 has “full-fledged” seasons haven’t set foot in games like PoE or even LE to understand what “full-fledged seasons” are.
If you compare Diablo 4 seasons to Diablo 3 seasons, it’s favorable. But if you were to compare them to other games in the industry, especially PoE or even LE, you’d see that the seasons in Diablo 4 not only feel small, but also incomplete and boring.
Path of Exile also recently started its new season, the season mechanics let you build your own city and have even given the game a new player record. You can find more information in the link box. And if you want to give Season 5 a chance despite the criticism – you can find the currently strongest builds in the tier list.
The general mood among the fans is clearly: Season 5 of Diablo 4 is perceived as disappointing and inadequate and players are angry that the game is not making the desired progress despite its potential.
