Great Game Design, Hero Dies Immediately

Love the absolute dumpster fire of the Circus Maximus.  Every time, without fail, StRomtrooper Luke is the first to die.  The flagship character of the ERA that we're all supposed to invest in and drop real cash and thousands of crystals to level, dies out the gate.  Doesn't matter if it's Bob's Big Boy, Discount Asgardian Destroyer, Bad Kitties, or a Pirate Chicken Walker.  Luke is targeted first in Tier 2 and dies before he even takes a turn.  Great programming, absolutely love the engagement and game play, this is sarcasm.  Tier two is an unbelievable slog fest.  And you want us to do this for months on end and just take it.
