So from my point of view, Minions should be slowly getting weaker and less impressive as I become more and more formidable....

I understand your point. Then what we need to see at the higher levels is less and less minions and more and more leut. and bosses. *switching to software developer mode* That way the missions don't have to bog everybody's computer down (or the servers) by multplying the number of minions in the mission by team members * 10. We should get more and more tough villians to keep the numbers down.

I'm still all for Liuetenants and Boss's scaling at a constant rate throughout the hero's life but allow me the dignity to at least PRETEND I'm a superhero by taking on more and more flunkies as I become a seasoned Hero. And again I'm not saying lets take 12 4+ purple minions. I'm just saying let me dish out the justice to 6 or 8 minions OF MY LEVEL at 45+....

Please let me be a Super Hero !

I believe that because we worked our butts off to get to our security level, then the villians we fight at our same security level did the same. Some believe that 'because I am lvl 40 now, I should be able to handle 6 minions when at lvl 15 I could only handle 3'. Well at lvl 40 you can handle 10 minions but not lvl 40 minions. That is my opionion.

When they give us the ability to change the difficulty of our mission, then you can choose an easier setting and be able to handle larger numbers. I prefer to choose the difficult setting and be on the verge of having my butt handed to me as I test my super-hero abilities (or my personal game playing skills) and prevail.

They really ARE the very same minions. They are just dressed up in different clothing and have a few different powers. You might see them as very very different. But, many of us see them as just the same minion.

True - you could put it that way (which of course, pretty much nullifies the diversity in every other MMP, but I digress), but then one could equally say, "they're the same - just more of them!"

Also - think of the technical ramifications. Let's say that 10 minions equal a hero at level 40. That means that we'd need to stock 80 minions in a single room on a mission when there's 8 heroes. 80 minions. Every room. The performance issues boggle the mind.

Statesman is right. They can't fill missions up with that many villians. I believe that because we worked our butts off to get to our security level, then the villians we fight at our same security level did the same. It makes good sense to me. Some believe that 'because I am lvl 40 now, I should be able to handle 10 minions when at lvl 15 I could only handle 3'. Well at lvl 40 you can handle 10 minions but not lvl 40 minions. That is my opionion.
