If we're basing use data, Deadeye is 31% while Lich is 8% according to poe ninja. That tells me Liches and ES aren't the problem, but lightning arrow is and how an ascendancy synergizes very well with it.
Because at the end of the day, people don't care for tankiness. If they can destroy maps in a fraction of the time, they'll put in the bare minimal amount of defenses and pile on the damage.
There's nothing to kill you, if there's nothing left to kill you.
This is a fair observation, although the numbers look very different for HC, where ES prevails.
This is one of the challenges with balancing - the devs need decide around which game mode to balance, and it is mostly done with with the one with most players.

Disagree. If you are talking about build meta, people follow creators, and creators pick builds because of meta shifts. When talking about the pickrate balance you are talking about making significant changes to the most or least previously played skills so players will try something else.
It is not possible to achieve a balance in the sense that universally everyone picks different things at the same rate. That is not how balance works. Players do not pick skills and builds because of their balance, they pick them for the sake of enjoyment.
Players pick based on enjoyment, developers task is to ensure balance = all builds are equally enjoyable.
There are multiple ways to do this, the current way GGG is doing this is via patches.
The other one would be to automate the nodes so, that the most picked nodes would have less value, and the seldomly picked nodes more.
All equally balanced = all equally enjoyable, is just not a true equation.
I do not see this ideal world you speak of. It seems very arbitrary and like it would not feel good at all. You are punishing people for following builds now? Just weird design that doesn't fit with how most people play the game.
Some skills need love, they don't feel great to progress with. Especially QOL of less invested skills in the campaign. Maybe life needs more options to scale, I dunno. But to say someone in the uber late game min-maxxing a stat you don't normally use, to a point where it's unnecessary, is affecting your enjoyment or experience, is just dishonest.

In a balanced game, all builds are played ~equally much.
Do you agree or disagree?
And
POE 2 should be a balanced game.
Do you agree or disagree?
Found the DEI fanatic.
People will play the archetype they like the most.
If minions are average I will play minion, if they are good I will play minion.
I installed this game to play minion.
If you destroy the minion archetype, I will delete this game.
Is this hard to understand to you or do you need me to express it more clearly?

Its interesting you said you were done talking and everyone is just dishonest and here you are doing the same post over again.
Lich is not the problem, ES is.
Feel like a broken record with this next one
"Youd know this if" you took a look as to why ES gets so high.
Notice how none of these are liches.
It's kind of disgusting how high ES numbers get with some of these builds. GGG, I implore you to nerf ES in Patch 0.4.0 for the health of the game (pun intended).

Chaos Inoculation is the primary culprit. It's been getting inordinately buffed since launch.
