Yeah dihm not an easy game. Btw no shame playing on easy to figure out the basic mechanics. On that difficulty the bots are also solid. However, playing with humans is a good way to learn the tricks for the levels. They also tend to be slightly more competent.
slightly=they're either more competent, or they're complete tools who can't even walk a barrel to a boat.
Also a big patch today! A free DLC that REALLY helps with the loot system. Its pretty awesome. You can have selective loot and have a token that you can take with you into missions to increase any loot type for the hero of your choosing. You also get some loot crystals if you get far into a mission but still fail. Overall some good changes.
it's a fun game, I'd love to play it more often but it pretty much begs a team so kick and cajole some peeps to join you, or probably not going to last long (though it's relatively cheap to begin with, might be worth it anyway, pugs exist but can run the gamut of actual play value)
I tried pugging but good god. I understand they have made it somewhat less frustrating since I played last
