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...

This is overall a very disappointing game mode. It isn't balanced in the slightest, and the majority of the community suffer playing it. It seems as if it was only made for pre-made teams of professional players to have a hard time with. Even when playing with a high level team who all know exactly what to do, we get steamrolled constantly. And this is just on Normal. I've finally got far enough in the Trials of the Gnomus to need 150 rainbow stars for the two chests. And the game mode had to be nearly impossible. Assuming 3 rainbow stars is the maximum reward... (because winning is far beyond reliable). I've gotta grind out 50+ games. They need to make it significantly easier just to get half of the playerbase to have a chance at winning.
It's not fun, it's not fair, it's grindy, broken, and a total mess. Even people who'd find it easy admit it's nearly impossible to find a team of random 3 players to win with.
I think you've missed the point of Boss Hunt.
Boss Hunts are designed deliberately to be complicated, require intense teamwork and to require a high level of skill to complete. It's not a game mode which is targeted at youngsters or novices who are new to the game; the intended player base for Boss Hunt are the Garden Warfare veterans who have high level characters, above average skill sets and experience in how to best use their characters.
The entire game mode is designed to push your skill set to the limit and quite frankly not every player is going to be up to successfully completing it and that's sort of the whole point.

The way I see it, is this is the only way to get rainbow stars aside from the horrid conversion process. The easiest difficulty should at least be accessible by half the player base or more. I can understand higher difficulties being harder. But the easiest being nearly impossible with randoms?
The discussion in the last live from popcap stream confirmed exactly what @realitysquared said, they make the boss hunt specifically for experienced players who want a challenge. Whether it was wise for them to do so with a game mode which is the only way for players to earn rainbow stars for the week is debatable. Interesting fact I gleaned: this Yeti King hunt was the first one of them that they made.

By your assumption that Boss Hunt is the only way to collect Rainbow Stars I assume that you are new to the game.
The Mystery Portal features three rotating game modes, "Super Mix", "Cats vs Dino's" and "Boss Hunt", all of which award Rainbow Stars.
Of those three game modes only Boss Hunt is targeted at experienced veteran players. If you don't like it then simply skip the week that features Boss Hunt.We just got hard and crazy done tonight, it was no joke to put it blunt. If you just need stars stick to normal and get in a groove with a group its very difficult with randoms, even worse if no one is using voice to give direction on what to do.
I was at my wits end and almost threw in the towel for hard and crazy but then we got 2 others that had already done it and it went pretty smooth. Please don't get me wrong I spent over 8 hours the last 2 days to get hard and crazy done it was that rough with the freezing. You should have at least 2 stuffy sunflowers if not 3 doing hard and crazy. Try to have as many upgrades as possible also.
