Can someone with more experience confirm or deny this?

Like think about it for a second:

He soloed the Countess (even if he surprised her that’s still really impressive)

He sent the Hag packing.

He called down a freaking comet!

He had access to all of the ancestral trinkets.

Like this dude was a one man army.

I had beaten the game on Radiant for the first time and decided to try Darkest. To my surprise, it was going great. I beat every single veteran boss minus the crew without losing a single hero. I rarely even felt threatened by most of the bosses. The Flesh was a joke. Prophet was legit landing 0 damage crits from the amount of debuffs I was giving him. Siren couldn’t charm a single one of my heroes.

And thats when I decided to enter the courtyard for the first time ever.

First fight and I was introduced to the Crimson Curse. No big deal. I had stockpiled plenty of blood beforehand. I cleared the rest of the mission and took down the apprentice Crocodilian without TOO much difficult, especially considering that i had heard it was a tough boss (Forshadowing).

Unfortunately, that is where things took a turn for the worse. I tried a short champion dungeon and was doing fine until a Swine Skiver showed up and did Swine Skiver things. My Leper did not live to see the other side of that fight and I ended up not even being able to finish the quest. So much for my delusions of a deathless run.

Stupidly, I decided to go after the Baron, not realizing that there would be no camping and ended up spending way too much on supplies and 2 more of my heroes got the Crimson Curse. I swear the spread rate needs to be nerfed. Despite all of that, I was still feeling [Title Card] as I pressed further into the courtyard. My heroes were at full strength, I was fully prepared for whatever the Courtyard could throw at me…

Then I found out WHY the Crocodilians name strikes fear and whispers from those who came before me. It’s like the apprentice version wasn’t even trying. Apex Predator is not an attack; it is a title, and one it delivers on. I am convinced that the only reason that the courtyard has inhabitants is because the Crocodilian ALLOWS them to exist.

It was a massacre that set me back weeks and it didn’t help that I somehow got my ass kicked by the Sunken Crew the very next week. THE SUNKEN CREW!

So in summary, no matter how many times I try to remind myself I will always fall pray to the age old adage: Overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer.

We get it. The editing sucked. But the fights didn’t and I saw literally 2 comments talking about the contents of the fights.

With the new album getting so much immediate acclaim, I’m worried that we’re about to see a huge amount of backlash and contrarianism across the internet.

I’ve seen this happen with countless artists and despite how unproblematic Olivia is and how genuinely great every album has been, I have a feeling that there’s going to be a rise in snark and bashing of her and her music :(

I think that it’s just going to be something we have to accept until enough time has passed.

So I was looking through the robots profiles on the official Battlebots page and noticed that several of them have records that are inconsistent with the wiki. For instance, the Twins, which have currently only 1 known fight, have a record that includes WAY more than that. Is this a mistake? Did the website accidentally list results from Pro League? Pls someone clarify.
