Played "A Weapon From the Past" at 34% difficulty, picked Valeria. The first time I tried to shoot the squid, 4 shotgunners spawn right beside me, Valeria can't outrun them so I get stunlocked to death, shooting back doesn't work since they have more than 150 HP each.

In the second part the shittiest Wardog had more than 200 HP it took two explosions from Earthing to kill them. The Doldren in the team wasn't chasing the elites so it had parts there were so many explosive shots from elites I couldn't see a thing, and it got worse when they had Aleph.

I feel that at 30% MMR we need to have a tight team of Raiders just to clear the mission with minimum casualties, this without an antagonist. It shouldn't be the case, 30% should be very easy to easy difficulty.

You nailed it with the aleph elites, they have really messed up AI where they'll dodge even if they're with their backs turned to you.

After I tried Schneider myself, I agree with you, aiming with his gun is hard and needs positioning, the nerf was uncalled for. I didn't even see people playing him that much before the nerf.

I'm playing since the launch of Prizes Galore and the game never rewarded players for being useful, only the players with more kills(grunts and antagonists), got the most bonus.

About the MMR "cheaters", those are just people playing by the game's rules, high MMR brings nothing good so people will keep lowering it.

Fourth, the MMR and difficulty. I never understood why enemies have to become bullet sponges and deal 30 damage per shot at 50% MMR or above. Shouldn't MMR be capped at about 60 then? Who are you making this game for - The Divison fans? The very same people that spend about 200 bullets to kill a single weak mob? How do you expect people with Forge Lvl 0 to deal with them? And how do you expect T5 players to deal with Status 5-1 players? Difficulty spike? You're digging your own grave with this matchmaking.

I think the difficulty spikes are one of the worst offenses. Sometimes Raiders and Antagonists have a diffenrence of 1%, but the difficulty scales to 20% for more or less. How does that even work?

It does, which should be considered a bug, if all his other guns dont OS on headshots

Doldren's starter gun kills with headshots, why wouldn't Harec do the same with a rare gun.

MSE does flash sales, all you need to do is wait for the one you want to be included in a pack - they go up to 40%.

I would say that unless you like the melee weapons(which it's not my case), it's cheaper to buy the character and weapon skin individually.

What? Being able to hover in the air almost continuously, putting you into wounded after a couple of shots or dropping her ammo on you to explode, you think is fair? I've played in many missions with T1 R1 players, wiped out tvery easily by her.

Every character's special ability has a cooldown. She should not be the exception.

I think that since she's Wardog you can see her at all times so your team should prepare to shoot her down as soon as they see her through the walls.

By the way, what were the characters on your T1 R1 team? What was the mission difficulty? The stage? How many times that happened?

And remember that Valeria's weapon has a long cooldown, made quicker by cards and shooting enemies normally. Unless you're usihg her Quantum Harmonic Oscillator, card with 5 Aleph super boost enabling almost instantaneous reloads, Valeria is a sitting duck, for Alicia should she miss.

Like I said, Valeria's Little Girl isn't meant to fight Alicia. It's unfair, but you should expect balance issues from any competitive game with a diverse range of characters.

I think sonofoz's posts are pretty amusing, makes me remember when I spent my afternoons lurking on steam forums. Good times.
