No Retreat No Skills

I made this post after trying multiple times with multiple 5* r4 champs to deal with it. Why the timer on no retreat is set at 1,2sec and whose call was that? Was that even tested? With the 5*s 6*s restriction at act6 and only Ghost and AA can counter this node, anyone who doesn’t have them is convicted to spend outrageous amounts of resources in order to tank the degen or unavoidable block damage. There is nothing that skills are involved, it’s clearly whether u have specific champs (of specific rarity) or u are punished for dexting. Pure bs. My suggestion is reducing no retreat timer to 1sec or 0,9sec if needed, so the guaranteed damage can be avoided with skillfull playing. Waiting for a responsible answer for a moderator and community opinions always welcome.

That being said, Sabretooth was total BS having to tank ½ his specials
After that quest all I wanted to dash back for nothing lol
I did use AA in 6.1.1, but he wasn't as effective for me as the other three. In any case, the current 6.1.1 is very much a skill-oriented map: certainly some champs work better than others, but there are a large number of viable options if you play well.
There was a thread that formed to discuss strategy and tactics for 6.1 when it first released, it is still occasionally active but also contains a lot of valuable historical discussion for 6.1: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/127897/act-6-chapter-1-strategies-and-tips
Interestingly, 6.1 did not have beta forums, so all the beta testers tested in isolation. So none of us really knew what everyone else was collectively thinking, and thus none of us actually knew if the feedback was going to be unified on No Retreat enough to change it. I think while many players who saw 6.1.1 for the first time when it went live thought it was too difficult, many of the beta testers actually breathed a sigh of relief and thought it was easy, precisely because they had been primed to expect the worst from the beta experience.
