I enjoy games that are challenging and make you think of unique strategies to overcome obstacles. It's fun and rewarding. Many games make money from ads, while others encourage you to make in-game purchases. This can be in the form of new characters, gear, upgrades, etc., to help you progress through the game faster.
It's not a novel idea, but it works. Often, players can make purchases and speed up their progress. Sometimes, you'll hit content that is blocked until you unlock specific champions, and I detest it. What I hate even more is when specific content is gatekept by specific champions AND unrealistic stat requirements for them.
I play a game called Raid: Shadow Legends, and this boss is the poster child for this nonsense.
The only way to beat this boss is to have very specific champions with unrealistic levels of speed and accuracy. It would likely take many players years to acquire everything needed to beat him and all for some missions to get a free legendary champion. After that, most people don't even bother farming this particular dungeon because most of the gear you get from it is crap. You can typically buy better pieces through the marketplace on the main page, rather than waste in-game energy and time getting garbage.
I have the champs to do it, but I lack the ridiculous stats to beat it. It's obnoxious because at this point, there's very little strategy to beat him other than just outspeeding him and freezing him. The speed is all based on random luck, so there's not even a challenge there. I hate when content is locked out for the majority of players because of poor game design. Game companies need to do better.
