You make a very valid point, Hammerskjold
It is not just those areas.
Monster awareness and movement speed have both been increased so in some areas if the monsters spawn close enough to the waypoint they will attack you very fast
Add in the factor that there are more ranged attackers around these areas now and you are very likely to start taking damage almost as soon as your character materialises on the map
People with low-spec computers and people using dial-up will be very vulnerable
It's a also a matter of the build you're playing. A Necro with 30 minions or a Barb with 4K life is less at risk than a Sorc
