Nazgul Helm Hammerhand mission
The balancing in that mission is all kinds of messed up. 2 drakes that constantly respawn, packs of respawning ghuls, and a boss that has lock on ranged attacks, along with a shadow pull. Figure that you commonly get screwed by incoming drake fireballs at you counter an attack from the nazgul, or try to dodge his attacks into a fireball.
These fireballs also track your movement, and even bounce off the ground. Most of the mission is running around waiting for focus to recharge, and shooting arrows at him. Health is only gained by dominating your 3 scattered follower orcs, which of course carries a time commitment, with the already mentioned fireballs and ranged attacks making it difficult.

Follow that up with one of the dumbest cutscenes I've ever seen. He legit gets corrupted because his daughter was stupid enough to run in front of his hammer as he brought it down, all of this happening because he was basically shot to death by the guy that ends up marrying the daughter. The girl actually marries her fathers killer, and tries to protect this very guy with her life. The husband is also not even phased by her death. You're telling me this guy gives in to rage over that?
Then we have Talion whining, followed by Celebrimbor whining, and Galadriel giving a dirty look. Quality balancing and writing guys.
