Is there a way to decrease their levels? Is d3 showing some pity on me and lower their levels a bit? 190 is still way out of my league though. If you didn't do anything between the time the levelschanged, then that's likely community scaling. It does go down if everyone is dying on those nodes. It just rarely happens because even with all the complaining about enemies too hard, it is rare for them to be so hard that everyone is dying. I did lose a couple of games, but managed to clear up the rest of the nodes except that one. Could it be because I'm dying so much? they dropped 10 levels. That's a lot, and I've been reading that Tanking no longer works. Maybe everyone is getting slaughtered in that match up. I hope it goes lower. I hope it drops to level 160, but that's wishful thinking.

Oh gosh, I let this happen and it was harder to dig out of that hole than I had hoped. Redwing getting rid of my strike tiles didn't help, either. Fortunately brought LT along to have Call The Storm cut through those protect files.

Oh you can take your time all right. In mine Falcon got off 2 Purples when talk about SLOW clearing all the bloody protect tiles off the board!

I don't think I have lost more pve matches in an event that I can remember than I have in the last hour. Matches I have been really trying to win. I attribute it to locking out patch, that is the main reason I cant beat these x6 my health teams. But I also don't see how Loki only converts 1/3 of Falcons strike tiles still aka the Ares bug that will never get fixed. Still downed Falcon but couldn't beat the other two. Levels are only at 220 too.

Hulk/IM40/Captain/BP has HP but generally lacks power (Captain/BP have only one color to attack with which makes denial actually possible). They're even pretty generous on the goons this time. The essentials has Wolverine/Hulk with green generator but at least those are lower level, and Wolverine dies relatively quick. Yea, that Hulk/wolverine is low level, 163 for me, but it's painful. Every time I poke hulk, he gets angry and spams all his green tiles. Wolverine goes down fast, but hulk is a pain. Need to queue up the moves and take him down in one turn. Finally passed the cap/black panther combo. What a disaster that was. I just want my daken cover and get into the top 100s. Right now I'm rank 6, but once I get daken, I'll probably let that slide because these guys are way too over powered. The funny thing is that since the Hulk I face has 22000 HP, it takes 1100 HP to trigger Anger so I can spam Magneto's attacks with impunity even with a considerable number of strike tiles out there. Hulk is one of those fight where he's actually much harder if he's high level, but not so high that it makes his Anger irrelevent.
