This Months EQ Discussion [Title edited for clarity]

Since the Monthly EQs have gone away from “overly gated” to “let us give you some buffs to complete”, it felt as if it were a step in the right direction. They seemed to forgo the stick and use the carrot. However this month feels a bit over tuned. I can usually get through the Cavalier difficulty with zero revives. This month however, we have a highly complex new champ with Mr. Negative. That coupled with the nodes they put up is crazy complex. Then you check the new nodes for Shang Chi and although it is a challenge and doable, it is far from fun. Now I get it, there is supposed to be a level of difficulty and for me, I get burnt out doing all that content on two different accounts.
I am in an alliance that has four sister alliances. We have members with 10+ 6r3s to players who just created their accounts months ago and one thing they all agree on is the that this months EQ is a bit much.
My sole purpose is to give a small part of the MCOC community do not care for this months EQ. I personally stopped the EQs on both accounts, will do the side quests and complete more regular content.

It's nothing overly-difficult and borderline cash grab or anything, it just requires you to read the nodes, bring the right champs and die a bit if you mess up. If you're feeling burnt-out with it, that's on you.
Often you can just steamroll it all.
This month was a bit harder but nothing too hard imo. A quick tipp is to do the Uncollected EQ first to check hard nodes and get used to the new champs. That way you are more familiar with them when you go into Cavalier.
It also forced ppl to actuly read nodes which became visible on the forum via complaints very often
On the other hand I have 3 6* R3 so my ability to jugde this for newer players might not be too good.
Still not the hardest Bosses I’ve ever dealt with in an EQ, that award goes to nameless guilly, Modok on his release EQ or the Aegon boss when he released. But it was a nice challenge
So many people don't have the right champions and they are struggling with it(like me).
But tbh, this should be the difficulty level for Cavalier EQ.
Last time I did my first 100% cavalier EQ completion, but I don't think I can do it this time. I think it's time to grow my roster...
For Shang-chi I’ve sole’d him with 3 different champs - Stealthy/NF/quake
I’ve solo’d mr negative with both falcon and professor x
I follow the guideline of MCOC noob for Shang-Chi and Mister Negative. It is doable for average player like me.
I can’t see I’ll get exploration done so will just focus on the comparatively easy legendary rewards which are more or less as good.
Falter, evade and unstoppable. That's it. Fights like Thanos make you feel motivated to fight, this is just an annoyance at best.
I think as some have mentioned this month's bosses are a little trickier, Mr. Negative in particular seems like he could join small group of elite war bosses. Some of the nodes require more intercepting, and other disruptions to the conventional parry/combo fight style a la hard knock life, or the one on Hood that gives damage while stunned, or Shang-Chi where he regens off your parries (and grits on block) but these seem obviously intended to keep the game not boring.
The paths themselves feel easier with the right counters, and it seems like there's a handful of options for each class chapter. I find you can typically bring 1-2 champs for the path and have 3 slots left for hard boss counters. In contrast to op, I feel every month generally gets me closer to itemless/near itemless because you get used to the nodes and your roster gets a little better.
