You should play to like lvl70 and then you will see if you like it or not. Lags usually happen in specific gateways (Amsterdam is one of the worst).
Also, there are many builds/playstyles in PoE. You may hate playing attack builds(melee/bow), but you may love playing spellcaster or totem builds.
It's like trying runescape for the first time, you shoot enemies using bow and arrows, later in the game you have access to better and better gear.
(Tbh you need to play like +50hours before you realise how complicated the game is and how much there are things to do.)
