Its not overtuned garbage. Contest mode just made it seem overtuned. No idea why I was blind like that my dudes. I apologize.
Edit: Im still slightly irritated about there being no emblem for clearing just contest mode, but I shouldnt expect a participation trophy for clearing a returning raid on one difficulty. All is good though, I have a new found purpose in obtaining the 10 carries emblem, Im glad that exists.

I got an invite into a Fireteam on Sunday. I was the only one who cleared the Raid, everyone else didn't know the encounter. After a few runs of them learning the Oracle locations, getting used to Detainment, and just staying alive, all five agreed that the encounter was straightforward and not that bad.
