It's already hard finding builds for the base game aside from the most popular, but you'll definitely not find any for the Enhanced edition. It's not hard making a build that works though, especially as Enhanced makes more skills viable. Just experiment, and remember that powerups are actually really good considering you only need to spend one skill point in them and there's an auto powerup setting

This is not proper hack and slash, but arcade action. There is no builds — monsters are scaling to your level, which ruins pretty much all and any rpg elements.

Any sort of real building will start only when you reach max lvl and monsters will stop scaling. I have tryed some ranged characters, but enemies are too fast and too many, they will not allow kiting, so no point to be mage or archer. Ghost Katarina also becomes useless at mid game, so can't tank for you. This narrows builds to melee fighters and engeneers (summon bots).

That is straight up not true. Certain builds absolutely are more effective than others, and one of the most popular builds was stacking DoT on the Bounty Hunter so your second point is also pretty invalid

...I have no idea what you meant by aminous since that's not a word, but the build is one of the few builds you can even find online. There's a guide called "Black Widow" here in the Steam guides section that actually has it. There should be an explanation in the guide why it's strong, but TL;DR poison stacks immensely well with the one Bounty Hunter ability that creates clouds of it. Even the Van Helsing Enhanced mod, which was meant to rebalance the game so some of the weaker abilities became viable had to nerf it
