The worst... I predict that when VoG comes to D2 it will have overload Minotaurs and Unstoppable Pretorians.. Hard Pass

Okay, Imma go off topic and say that I agree with you on most things and disagree with you on others. But from what I have seen here, that because it's you, people are deliberately dragging this through the mud because of your infamy, which should not cloud their opinion on the topic. That being said, I feel like Overload Captains and Minotaurs are the most irritating pieces of shit when certain mods have to be used against them (Arc, Autorifles, SMGs, certain swords). I also feel like they can be buggy and need a bit of a rework

I don't understand why people will defend having champions in this game especially overloads. Barrier and Unstoppables are "meh" but overloads need to either have their AI adjusted or removed from the game entirely. Champions in general just create artificial difficulty by pigeon holing you into using a very specific loadout consisting of weapons that the player may not want to use and don't complement each other well. That, coupled with the fact that they can just spam teleport and shoot down a hallway with no cooldown and can one shot you is ridiculous. This is even more annoying when you add in the fact that most high level content involving champions, locks your loadout. (I don't like that mechanic either. D1 never had that and the game was still challenging without being frustrating most of the time). A perfect example of how difficulty should be handled is the new mission to acquire Dead Man's Tale. The enemies always scale to 20 power above yours so you're always under leveled, no annoying champions, and no locked loadouts. The adds in that mission will kill you pretty quick and they have a good amount of health but they don't instant melt you the minute you come out of cover. Same thing for the boss. You can tell what attack he's going to do by paying attention to his animations. This allows you evade and when he misses, he stays still for a second, allowing you to get some damage in before needing to fall back. I did that mission solo and blind and not once was I complaining about being killed to quick. It was fun.

@kellygreen2 Overloads arent that big of a deal if you hit them with an overload shot. Went in at 1285 on my titan, overload bow and anarchy melts them no problem. Are you not using overload shots?!?!?!?!

The hunter melee ability weighted knife doesn't stun with inferno whip mod.

Overload Bow Symmetry Falling Guillotine Subclass of your choice, I used Stasis.

Uhhh.... overload champions get stunned just fine for me. Ran perdition close to 20 times yesterday, averaged 4 to 4:30 minute runs each run on playstation. I used Anarchy, Night Watch, and Ikelos SMG. I had 0 issues overloading a champion. My Ikelos SMG has Seraph rounds which stagger, thus keeping the mob stun locked until overload procs, easy win.

They are a bit overwhelming. But you are lying, you had the proper mods equipped? You obviously didnt or just did and didnt use them. When you stagger the overloads their health regen stops and they get weaker so you can kill them. Or at least get them down to finisher level if you so much weaker than them. My advice would be to use a bow to stun them from distance. Unless you are good at closing in, then use the smg mod. Additionally, if you are a hunter, 100% run invis dodge class. You can get in champions faces with stuff like lament really easy. Put on assasins cowl if you want an extra layer of survivability for when you kill the champions - go invis + heath regen. ALSO, please dont come and complain on the forums that you cant do an activity when you are 20 levels under. Have the common decency to at least level up to 1300 before you try and complain. Even then you probably just would complain because you cant use that head of yours to put together a loadout. Your character doesnt even have an overload mod equipped.

I legitimately had no issues last night, was getting it done in 6 mins. Used a bow, symmetry and the trials rocket. It was honestly easy even though symmetry isn't working properly with anti barrier. Don't get me wrong there is moments where it's annoying but you just have to take your time.

I would love to see a ViDoc Video or Stream of Bungle's "Crack" testing team soloing this stuff when 10 to 20 under light.

😂 definitely a you problem

This is probably the only time we'll ever agree on anything. But this is not a new thing for Bungie with D1 or D2 either. They keep making more and more things incredibly difficult in the name of 'fun', albeit making it totally NOT fun. They forgot how to make games actually fun when they left their roots and got big.

I've gotta say, just because it's KG and he's known for being very opinionated and argumentative he's getting a lot of hate on this post. I disagree with a lot of his opinions about the game, but that doesn't blind me from seeing his point here. He's not wrong, overload champions are not a fun challenge, they're an overly annoying challenge. They don't add difficulty in a fun way, and they could use an adjustment of some kind.
