STOP ADDING RNG TO DEFENDER KITS

Not only is this current BG meta doodoo water, but it also revitalized my hatred towards certain defenders, specifically Jean Grey and enchantress. There is absolutely no reason why when I try to interrupt enchantress' heavy, she should be allowed to miss THREE times in a row. Literally no amount of game skill can account for this mechanic, especially in this meta where blocking is like an instant loss.
You would think after domino, they'd realize how damaging RNG defenders are for the game (had to constantly add AA reduction immune champs to fix their mess up). But nope they also decide to add Jean Grey to the game, who has a 50% to invert your controls every special. How is one genuinely supposed to prepare for that? Especially when reverse control immune is pretty scarce to begin with.
Yes some defenders should be harder than others, but the pattern to beat them should still be relatively the same each time you fight them. By adding RNG into the mix, you heavily negate skill expression.
And yes I just lost to enchantress which is why I'm making this post.

Miss isn't even the start of all of enchantress' problems
If you don’t know how to bait a heavy without blocking that’s a skill issue on your part. I’ve taken several enchantress at full hp. Just ban her if you can’t take her well, but I understand most people in the forums not talking about you specifically but others don’t switch up the strat or push themselves to figure out different ways to take a defender down. Personally I like the challenge makes things interesting. Rather have this than have 2 op attackers and win. I mean that a different issue entirely than what the op is talking about. Gotta get your deck situation right if you trynna compete. Plus this meta you want defenders that punish you for hitting block. Dust, Red Skull, Electro and Zola are some defenders that come to mind that slow attackers down.
I wouldn’t use Bullseye on def he gets nuked to fast by too many attackers. Besides dude is cooking a bunch of defenders in 30 secs. This meta he a cheat code.
Ngl it just sounds like you have a r4 enchantress and are scared of any valid criticism towards her.
P.S my enchantress r3 she mid would never r4
But up until that mistake, I found her pretty simple I just had to pay attention to when I took of her shield and her "CALL-OUT"
Definitely agree with enchantress she's borderline nearly unbeatable this meta. I did a 100% health finish with Kate (KEEP IN MIND I PUSHED HER TO HER SP3 BUT SHE DECIDED TO HAVE MERCY LOL so it was basicallyjust luck). I have died more times than I've survived to her this meta.
You literally have to take off 3 spells (ALL OF WHICH INVOLVE YOU HITTING HER coupled with the energize node she's already at another sp1 by the time you take out her spells. NOT TO MENTION her AI can decide not to play into your intercepts. I have died soo many times from dmg reflect to her this meta because I was unable to take off her spells before she reached another special 1 and the cycle repeats.
I also wish Jean didn't place those exhaustions tho cos it plays into inequity and also ruins the CRIT damage CHAMPS which kabam is gradually destroying with every defender that comes out. I know she has that mechanic to further create new techs that do not crit so I understand but most defenders now mitigate big crits and its so annoying. The game is moving to such a RED NUMBERS ONLY meta and I hate it so much.
You keep harping on RNG like you can’t just use a champ that literally prevents the RNG. You keep saying miss miss miss. Like there aren’t champs who counter miss. It’s like beating a dead horse. If you want to stay mid and continue this ridiculous narrative like enchantress is unbeatable than you have my permission 😉
Here are some SS of me taking the green and purple spell in one heavy. You're welcome and don’t forget to train at the temple.
