Strange Anomaly This D2l Hcl Season

I'm reposting (can't bump, 3 month rule) this thread again because i remembered it this season when i encountered hell... i play barbarian this season, and when i went to hell mode, i couldn't almost number how many boss packs i met. They were everywhere. Which was kind of a weird blessing, since i had gotten quite lucky in travincal and found good gear, i could actually face and tank them and defeat them quite easily... getting a LOTof good experience.
But that definitely confirms it to me at least .. i am 100% certain - traps, at least, i don't know how it is with other types of minions - do affect the number of boss packs you encounter. If you lay a lot of them, the number of boss packs goes down. Weird as hell. But a fact.
