Don't nerf Syndicate encounters

Nice strawman there, tells a lot.

There is no strawmanning, however there is an uncompleted campaign waiting just for you.

Do you know what tells a lot? That God knows what your post count is regarding the Syndicate issue and you haven't even touched a single map yet.

Shameful. People who don't even touch the conent want to lecture those who struggle with it. Get a grip.

*ahem*

Two people laying the blame on people's builds in a league that gives virtually no understanding of its mechanics or any kind of warning that it's going to require a strict hardcore viable build to be able to participate in the league mechanic. It's condescending. If the intention was to really have a league that alienates a large portion of less tanky builds, that should have been communicated more clearly so that everyone could have prepared better.

'Less tanky builds'

'WHY CAN'T MY 3K HP CLEAR CONTENT? GGG THIS GAME TOO HARD, MAKE IT EASY SO I CAN WIN'

I agree. PLEASE keep it as it is or even make it more challenging. I been having a blast and it's a nice change of pace to face 2 star or 3 star syndicate members and have it provide some level of challenge. These have been the best ''boss'' fights in the game for me so far and I'm in Act 5. These are currently the best experiences in the game for me. I love it. Too bad the Research runs can get really boring :(.

Yes, you have tons of stuff to be shameful for as well, but don't worry, there is a T15 Desert Springs for you hot in the oven. Just tell me which mods (or mod combinations) you don't want on it, and I will keep rerolling it until it fits your criteria.

Now of course, I don't expect a long list, only rolls which would hard-counter your build, as no one would expect people to prove themselves on maps which reflects them to death for example.

Soon I'll be sleeping, so that's why you won't hear from me. But as soon as I'm up, I'll get to it, prepare your map and message you in game, if this is your name there as well. You just need to kill the Syndicate, the map loot is yours.

Damn, there was 5k+ hp on the video, now it's just 3k. With enough sulphite we can go even deeper!

Also, to everyone who actually touched maps (therefore understand how this league work on maps, unlike certain others) and parrot glass cannon: how can a build be glass cannon, when it runs the maps it is currently on with ease, including the bosses? You can't have a build that is both tanky and fragile at the same time. But do you know what you can have instead? A league mechanic which is badly optimalized.

Maybe that 5k hp will not be enough on 13, 14, etc, but that is an entirely different question. Syndicate power creep is simply not adjusted to the content people are running, and that starts from the campaign.

This keeps getting better. But I agree, it was mostly fun during the first half of the campaign. In hindsight though, the writings were on the wall.

This league it is, because it's the only thing in the game before red maps that requires it, hence why so few people are overly tanky for normal progression content. Goddamn, you're dense.

...i'm dense because i knew about defenses before this league?

airtight logic.

You're dense because you don't understand what the complaints are about no matter how often or how well it's explained to you, and because you try to straw man every single thing you reply to.
