AW showcase is perfectly tuned to be as annoying as possible

It’s not optional content, we need to explore it for the king groot piece. Why exploration? Why not completion, you’re telling me I have to do that photon fight twice, horrible.
Also why are the paths so long, I’ve never played a war with this many miniboss fights, in fact on the new map it’s not even possible. At least include some nice path fights if you really want to show off war and how fun it can be.
The AI is horrible on some fights, funnily enough Venom seems to be fine, but Longshot, Fant Man and Mysterio especially seem exceptionally erratic just to trip you up.
This is harder than WoW Abs Man for sure, especially that photon fight I don’t think it’s actually possible to solo her without having devoted far too many hours into Kate bishop (a process I am in the middle of)
Oh and what’s the kicker? It’s only here for 2 weeks. Not permanently, not even for a month, two weeks. A two weeks also filled with WoW, Raids, a new (very hard) war season, Side Quest which you have to play 50 times to get any rewards, the game is so busy already, why add another constraint on our time?
Even more the rewards outside of the King Groot piece are just half a 7*. Compare that to WoW (the closest comparable content imo) the time and effort to reward ratio is pretty poor.
That’s my whining done, maybe I’m just bad at the game but this just seems unnecessarily hard (harder than actual wars from the seasons it’s “showcasing”) and the short time limit feels over the top

And there is no rule that says you gotta do it itemless..
So thats 2 choices you are making on your own...
And I would highly disagree that this is anywhere near the wow absman fight.
I would rather do this over and over again once a week for a month than ever have to deal with that stupidly overtuned absman again.
I haven't done the left path yet, but the worst path on the right was sassy, and it was just a long fight for me because I don't have the top counters ranked, or I'm a moron and didn't completely understand the fight when I was doing it. 🙃
But to say it's harder than the abs man fight.....
I do however wish they gave us war boosts to do these cause every single fight required a good counter and a relatively high skill level due to the nodes. You don't normally take 8 fights with this level of difficulty in war and when you do, you're probably using boosts because of how unforgiving the fights can be.
The ai seems to be dexing me, parrying me, refusing to throw specials, the damn Photon refused to throw a heavy and just hits by block doing 23k damage wtf is that about?
It's actually terrible let's be honest way over tuned
Unless you have the exact champions you need for the bosses you are screwed, and even then, you are still screwed.
Temporary content must take into account the problems we are facing right now in the game, you cant just throw this stuff with the AI problems we have right now.
She was the consistent meta boss for both seasons this Tactic was active, it made perfect sense for her to be the boss here.
She doesn't even have the Defense Tactic, there are many counters that could take her down very efficiently - especially with a choice node right before the boss allowing you to bring a dedicated Champ just for her.
and if we die we she carries her charges over and we get stuck in a loop of not being able to switch her and taking lots of special block damage.
It's a long fight, but it's doable.
Or just use a mixture of photon/Herc.
Dont forget Items are Kabam's bread and Butter, the event is for the masses to use their stash and buy more..
for few handfull its a means to show off, but only for few handful
