II've said it before theres never a reason to stall at a progression and not push for the highest level possible. Unless your fish monkey. Then theres just no helping you.

I feel that people are missing the point. No one is complaining about the difficulty of these fights. At least, most people aren't complaining about that. People are annoyed at the lazy choice of defenders in a quest that uses paths to incentivize the use of Class-specific champs.

When Defenders are placed that completely render those nodes useless, it's a little frustrating and begs the question as to the point of the nodes if they ultimately have no effect whatsoever on the fight. It's like designing a fight to grant bonus attack rating while the Defender is suffering from Bleed but placing Gentle as the Defender. The node would likely be removed because it serves no purpose. Colossus and Hulking are the worst offenders for me out of the group initially mentioned by the OP. Not because the fights are more difficult or a little slower but because the design makes no sense. It makes you think the game team doesn't check over content before releasing, something I don't believe is true.

Ultimately, you're right; it's a small issue. In both normal and Elder difficulty, you can just bring a champion that can take those champs. I don't mind a little extra difficulty. But amidst all the other problems currently and a general dislike of the state of the game by the community, small issues like nonsensical node and defender placements in EQ are a bit more magnified. And I can get where OP and the others are coming from with this one even if it is minor.

Same reason as Ironheart, noted above- a piece of utility they share is that they reduce the opponents Offensive Ability Accuracy - so anything that triggers when they parry.

Iron heart does it with debuffs = Tracking

Maestro does it through his Glancing buff.

The free 7* is exclusive to Valiant players. Below Valiant will need to spend a bit as the total free dead weights for everyone is 2m.

Me when i dont understand a very simple and easy to avoid issue is indicative of a much larger and systemic problem
