Air Hockey Shuffle and Shed of the Dead Need Defenses

[Paleknight]

I can understand making challenges, but there are challenges and then down right un-winnable. These two levels shouldn't be allowed to not allow building defenses at all. It's impossible to defend or do anything to keep your core from being hit at all unless by luck. Air Hockey Shuffle is an example that it takes major luck to even get platinum or diamond on either difficulty. Shed of the Dead on the other hand even on the normal difficulty it's impossible to get gold or even to beat it on harder difficulties. It's also the best map for anti-air if I was allowed to build them. This isn't just due to the bouncing balls, but the super sentai rangers that make it completely unplayable. They are possibly the worst issue along with not being able to build.

At least half of the community agrees that the Shed it's not a well balanced or a well designed map.
Is it possible to get platinum on it? Yes. Diamond? No, you get rushed by so much stuff on the final wave that, even with defenses, I don't think you can get a diamond award in there.

AirHockey Shuffle is chill tho. You just gotta pay enough attention and not go in with a full squad of bots (they have a bad tendency to fall on the floor), bring just one to watch your rear.

Hello Silver Dr. Blight (Paleknight),

I am sorry you're finding those maps frustrating. We have recently tweaked their balance, hoping to find the right mix between strategy and challenge.

The reason you can't build is that Air Hockey Shuffle and Shed of the Dead are bonus maps. They're designed to give you a break from the defense building part.

Shed of the Dead will receive a balance update, and we'll continue to improve Air Hockey Shuffle. If you have any feedback (the more detailed, the better), please feel free to your share thoughts here.

Have a wonderful start to your week,
Joe
