Discussion: Scaling the games difficulty and the challenges associated with making everyone happy

I beg to differ. Play the same Challenge Event stage multiple times on autoplay, then do it manually with the same team and no items (since AI doesn’t use them). Compare your average scores. I guarantee you that most players (at least those who have advanced beyond “spray and pray” technique) will score significantly better than AI on the same stage with the same heroes and troops.

As a matter of fact, several of us did that during Pirates. I’ll link you to the thread here.
