According to any DnD encounter calculator : 3 ogre against 4 level 4 characters is supposed to be a deadly encounter. And you usually meet them at level 3.

It becomes an average encounter at level 5 when your proficiency bonus is increased by 1.
The wizard ogre also have an AC increased by 1 compared to DnD (+mirror image) and their dexterity is higher, meaning they can avoid some damages/spells more easily than they should.

Missing all the time can be a problem in DnD but encounters are not often balanced / well chosen in BG3...
WoTC may be guilty for some thing but don't forget that Larian has deviated A LOT from DnD, creating even more issues or reinforcing them.

And as Niara said, "missing" does not always mean that you "miss" them... It means that you failed to hurt them.
