Fortress feels impossible as melee

Thanks for the thread and +1. I have also opened a similar one.

The league is amazing, however I still don't know why there are so many gems and combinations if in the end of the day there are less than 10 viable things.

Given the situation I just enter fortress to get the treasures and leave without even trying the 24 waves. Too much time consuming and as you mention, after 20ish waves to get 0 loot feels really bad. The map tier does not matter, even in t1 map its really easy to lose the challenge as mele.

On the bright side I have to say that they accomplished to make a mele char feel what is like to be swarmed by the plague, when you see 300 red dots running at you :D

tho it can be annoying to see an issue officially being addressed being bumped constantly, it still hasnt been fixed.

its also good you bring it up.

but asking people to stop +1 ing while it still is an issue isnt helping.

let people vent.

if its giving a bit of loot it is not solved. The Design to not being able to solve a game content if you play a legit skill(s) is just not ok.
There have to be better solutions than to give some (you will not get blood!!!!) of the rewards instead of zero.
