Much like XCOM 2's soldiers themselves, I found that mod's humor to be hit or miss- mostly miss.

Its heavily based on 4ch memetic culture so a lot of it is just built up humor that existed and got reposted long enough.

I think grenades also factor in. They count as hits if you land them, but they don't count as shots taken, so a high number of grenades used can artificially inflate the accuracy scores.

Having dodge counter crit chance and vice versa is the better fix - having a mechanic to indicate "this person/alien is more nimble than others" isn't inherently bad.

The only way is to make sure your attack cannot miss ever. They cannot dodge sure things and 100% shots.

Yeah, but dodge's current 'you played perfectly but the RNG says gently caress you eat a stun lancer hit' version is incredibly frustrating bullshit.

This is why the correct answer is all grenadiers in big rear end heavy weapons suits and blow up everything before it gets a turn.

The next video is long... Like really long. 90 minutes long. That seems a bit excessive for a one sitting video so I am considering making it multi-part if people don't want to sit down and watch a movie sized LP update. Figured I'd ask you guys if you would prefer it cut up or not first.

For those of you who have played the game before, yeah, it's that mission, so you know what the deal is and it'd be fairly easy to split into thirds.
