Assault Battles Challenge Tiers (T2 and T3) Poor Design and QoL

Hi All,

Just wondering if I'm the only one or anyone else thinks that some of the challenge tiers for assault battles are too time-consuming and poorly-designed? I'm an end-game player with most key toons R5 and above, and I'm having difficulties with T3 (and sometimes even T2) of these events. I know they are supposed to be challenging, but the amount of time and investment required seems rather absurd for the rewards.

Sith/FO vs Jedis
SLKR and FO takes approx. 1 hour to finish due to ridiculous speed and hp of enemies
EP DR BSF Malak Vader takes 20 minutes but very unreliable - if you enter wave 8 with low TM you will easily get mowed down

BH/Imps vs Rebels
Bossk-BH need to be R7 and have insanely fast mods to be able to survive wave 1
Veers with Starck, Gideon, Piett, and Range can beat this reasonably with arena mods

Empire/Droids vs Ewoks
I don't think I need to explain this one - T3 is almost impossible for most of us even with R5 toons using the Thrawn BB8 B1 B2 Magna lineup or the HK Chewpio R2 C3 BB8 lineup

NS/Phoenix vs Sith
Another one which is quite ridiculous - T2 relies heavily on RNG and very delicate play, while T3 is not doable even with R5+ NS

I think the Jedi/Ugnaught vs Seps and Rebels/Clones vs Empire events are the only ones which are reasonably achievable at T3 (the latter being slightly RNG-dependent).

Key pain points:
- Some T3 of these events are not achievable unless you whale out on R7 for all the required toons (even R5 doesn't cut it)
- Even if you do manage to beat these events, it takes a ridiculously long amount of time due to 8 waves of extremely tanky enemies
- No option to sim the battles even if you have beaten them at 3* previously

Keen to hear everyone's thoughts.
