Is it just me or are the uniques mostly bad?

[Ja(c)kal]

Greetings,

so far, i have 140hrs logged in and I really haven't gotten any good uniques, around 12 or so drops and I can barely justify using only two, a shield (Doomgate) and a belt (Meginord's girdle)
I finished the 3 acts and started a new one in cruel and just got a lame arse quiver again (Blackgleam) that is a very low level item.

This feels like the launch of Diablo3 where pretty much every unique was absolutely atrocious.

Thoughts?

PoE is based off Diablo 2.

Unique is JUST an item with fixed affixes and usually an affix that is unique to that item.

They are not designed to be Best In Slot.
They are not designed to be Endgame.
They are not designed to be Meta.

What they can do, is allow builds that otherwise wouldn't work. If you cannot understand the Unique, it likely needs another specific Unique to take full advantage.

They are toys for theorycrafters to play with, not Meta min/maxers.
