Is the monster feature EA’s biggest rip off to date?

I honestly don't know what to say about this monster, I don't know what the purpose is.

At first I thought it was something to solve the problem of COM and its war-related tasks, but these ugly colored octopuses leave very fast and don't even let you attack them with all the disasters.

so a green octopus appears and it turns out that he asks me to attack him with only 4 attacks, and my tasks in COM ask me to attack with other different disasters. 

So me: ????????????????????????????????????????

Also you still receive launch this booster, collect war reward, upgrade a disaster, so being a solution for COM is a completely wrong assumption.

in his best chest I got 1 (yes, one) card of Flying Vu attack, I can't understand how this can help a new player? so I don't understand what @LikeMindedHope  says at all. XD sorry

it seems that octopuses are an individual way of playing without being in war, because we assume that dragging your finger to a target and launching a imaginary disaster is the fun? ... 

I hope that sarcasm is noticed, but the exciting thing for me in wars is the team, planning together, using strategies, thinking about what to do. The part of delivering and dragging my finger is actually the annoying part of all this, at least for me

I understand that it is precisely bad because if it is as good as wars, many will prefer to kill that bug than play in wars, so EA does not want the players to entertain themselves with the octopus and leave the wars, the wars must continue, then the octopus also isn't made for COM, so is ... is ... is what? What is the purpose, I don't get it.
