Here's my question to everyone doubting the changes in this thread thus far...
Do you enjoy, right now, fighting 3 +4 (purple) minions if they give you a decent challenge and rewards?
If so, why, then, does it matter to you at all if those 3 minions are white or purple, if they're giving you the same amount of challenge and reward? Because that's pretty much what Statesman is trying to do.
If you're the type of person who takes on 6 red minions instead of 3 purple minions... what that's going to turn into is taking on 6 blues instead of 3 whites. Same challenge right now, same rewards... simply changing the colors.
The only thing different is your perception of what the minions "should" be, because you're used to the way it is now.

Exactly.
I agree with British_Lion above that they really missed the boat when they pitted certain villian types against certain levels. One villian that really gauls me at level 30ish is the escaped convicts. What kind of challenge should normal humans, albiet hardened ones, still in their orange jumpsuits and armed with fists and mundane weapons be for a Hero. None whatsoever. Make them superpowered escapees or something believable.
Also those wanting to fight increasing numbers of baddies aren't rooted in the reality of video card/bandwidth limitations. But I'll concede there is room for some compromise in certain situations where larger numbers of weaker minions might be used.
