Am I the only one feeling this way?

Please bear with me, this isn't a rant. I am just curious as to whether I'm the only one feeling this way about the Sinister labs.
Every time I get into the epic difficulty I draw some ridiculous buffs. Like, how do you fight against the one that power locks you on sp1, and at the same time punishes you for using two specials of the same kind.
You say, well...just don't use specials. But I can't get anywhere because most of the time I keep also drawing 200% power gain.
Or when you draw the one that degenerates you for 50% health, and you are supposed to regenerate that health back but you also get screwed because it comes with the other buff that reverses all types of healing or regen on you.
The solution is to just use your "randomizers" right? But what if I just keep drawing the same kind of buffs over, and over, and over, and over?
Out of the 4 days of labs, I was able to get through one lab once, but that was only because I used 2 revives.
So at that pace it would take me more or less 40 revives to get through 10 days of labs. How many shards does it yield 10 labs, and how many super hard fights is that?
I am not an end game player, I dont have a super diverse/deep team. But normally this kind of events, my team consisting of 5*r5 Blade, 5*r4 gulk,5* r4 Cap marvel(movie), 6* Omega Red, 5*r4 Ghost Rider, 5*r4 Void would clear with little difficulty.
BTW, as a point of reference, I've done one run of LOL, cleared variant 2, and I'm cavalier. But none of that content felt more BS than this one.
Am I over reacting, or are other people feeling the same way?

Might as well complete act 5
Did one and got irritated, then realized exploring doesnt give anything extra
Its lousy and I'll likley avoid it
There's been a few threads saying this already. It's horrible. I've tried them 4-5 times, 1 time i got close but needed 1 revive and decided that the rewards aren't worth the revive so I quit out.
I've decided to skip EPIC all together now and just do everything up to Master.
A lot of us are going to miss out on the rewards & gameplay this month and it's a real shame.
I've also tried using the "10 entries" you get. But haven't really had better luck with that either. I think keeping the same defenders after exiting as opposed to randomly getting new ones on each entry would help a little.
Those that can do them are probably at a much higher level than us so it's ok if they get the rewards, no big deal.
In other words, if nobody's doing them, there's no harm done to anyone.

You can keep rolling the randomiser and continuously get ridiculous combinations on the node.
Yes you can quit and start again or buy more randomisers but it’s just unnecessary hassle.
Most of the really annoying unavoidable damage buffs in this game are cropping up all the time in this content so half the time it feels like a choice between a poke in the eye or a kick in the shin.
Faced with a ~30-minute sortie in Epic that nets me okay rewards, I’d much rather run arena or do something different entirely.

Not the case with sinister labs
That said, speaking ONLY on the level of difficulty .. I like the difficulty of Sinister Labs .. I feel they have the difficulty ramp up perfectly on par.
Epic for something like this, should be for those end gamers, with 5* and 6* rosters .. and some mad skills, etc ..
For me, and my present state: (no 6* ... about 20-25 5* ... 2 of them at rank 4 .. and many Maxed 4*) .. I can handle Master .. and for me it's a challenge. I can do it without using revives, but it's been close a couple of times ...
So I do feel like the difficulty is in a good place ..
HOWEVER ..
the rewards, as stated ... in comparision to said difficulty .. is absolute GARBAGE ... it's a joke ... and the usual Kabam, slap in the face.
Had they rewards, been a bit more in line with the difficulty .. (giving appropriate rewards vs investment into .. ) then this entire event would have been a perfect ace ..
but alas .. rewards and NOT good ... so no .. don't push yourselves that hard .. take the low hanging fruit, the easy runs (for your roster, etc) .. and do something more useful .. like Daily Proving grounds ..
