Yeti King Boss Hunt too hard?
This Boss Hunt combines several previous challenges from previous Boss Hunts.
First, after the Yeti takes a bit of damage, he starts dancing. While he is dancing, you must destroy several... Popsi...

Good.
Should be hard. Gotta thank the devs again for developing another challenge so that if you lose, you really lose. Can't go to the stickershop with the coins and buy the reward for this.
Not that hard, it is very discouraging to play the event due to its difficulty. I agree that these events need to be difficult, but not impossible. I have never actually completed this event and have played it many times. At one point it came around again and I didn't even attempt to try to play it. It came around again and so I tried it again, stopped playing it after 13 attempts.

A large part of the difficulty is finding a team to work with. If you can get a team who understands the basics of the event it isn't that hard. In my experience the Yeti itself doesn't increase health on harder difficulties only the damage it deals. I point this out because if you can keep control over the amount of damage you take all three difficulties are more or less the same. Most groups I encounter have problems because they get comfortable taking risks in normal mode and end up paying for it in hard or craaazy.
Also, as a side note, it is often best to stick with the same group assuming they understand the basics. (If they fail the snow cone phase or damage phase it is best to leave.) But, if they get it and are just struggling with working together it is usually worth the time investment to get the team working together. (I have gone from losing normal to finishing craaazy with the same team.) Another problem with completing boss hunts is learning teamwork with random people, so changing every match that fails just restarts the process.
Anything else I could say would just be repeating guides on the hunt. (Which you can find here.)
Its not hard its unbalanced. The first problem is the poor AI programming that makes every bot a walking Aim Bot with freeze capabilities here. Even the super strong Yeti can run from you, turn 180° while running for couple frames just to snipe you with ice, and then turn back 180° to face the direction he is running again - all WHILE RUNNING. Especially on crazy this leads to a lot of nonsense freezes and deaths from bots that don't even look at you.
The second problem is the Imp-Yeti paradox where both are meant to be close to each other to win but they refuse to. And moving from the Imps location to the Yeti costs all the seconds you will be missing later. This adds a pure random factor and wastes 30 minutes if they are not close to each other and constantly running into opposite directions.
And no; having to abuse the AIs programming is not a valid solution to the problem as AI exploits are a very specific difficulty that should not be the challenge here. Almost all the people i have played with don't even understand the concept of kiting as it requires knowledge of a technical layer in the background.
Not to forget that a "hold fire" scenario is contradicting the ENTIRE design of the game. Which is a shooter to kill things - where to win means to push forward and eliminate targets. And yet the game punishes players for doing exactly that on the Imp and it takes a whole 30 minutes to realize that for 4 people.
