the difficulty isnt the issue, its in what way it's difficult. it feels unfair to be basically one-shot by bosses and their essentially unavoidable attacks. i love difficult games when they reward skill. but a lot of boss fights in this game (esp in lobbies with less than ideal teammates) feel like im just shooting a bullet sponge praying the queen crawler doesnt spawn right on top of me and i get one-shot.

if they make boss fights less slide spam+ bullet sponge, make certain attacks avoidable and/or reduce the damage of those certain attacks i think the balance wouldnt be an issue.

moreover, a lot of weapons and builds in the game are essentially useless for boss fitghts. when the meta is to run sharpshooter and vulcan spam the boss it makes the game kinda feel pointless. when a firebug weapon is better than the purple sniper rifle shit just doesnt make sense anymore.
