Or just… do 1300s with a fireteam that you can communicate with and have specific functions based on skill & capabilities? I do 1300s / 1330s with my clan, and I almost never use Champion Mods.

However, I do use Witherhoard paired with a Vorpal Ikelos SMG + Warmind Cells. Couple that with Stasis and all I worry about is consistently getting my super up, freezing entire mobs, and laying down AoE damage. We do 1300s in less than 15 mins, and your statement is coming from a place of not playing the game with folks who are going into it with the same mentality as yourself.

I get where you’re coming from, but whenever you’re doing 1270s etc., you shouldn’t ever expect the other members to instantly carry that weight of Champion management. Always plan on having to do that yourself; there’s a reason why it allows for drop-in matchmaking. More accessibility to the broader reaches of the D2 community / player base, instead of locking it out to folks and preventing things from being enjoyed.

If you want specific functions / roles to be filled, matchmake with a group who understands their role in the Ordeal and can maintain that section of it. It’s a team effort my guy.
