Gameplay Feedback / Re: What makes the antagonist mode unbalanced and not fun.

I'm enjoying this game immensely, a breath of fresh air, finally something different.
Especially Antagonist mode, that's my jam. Admittedly, when I first started playing Antagonist I did well until I fought anyone playing past the prologue, I kept losing and getting frustrated. I came here looking for help, and everyone here really helped me understand and gain better perspective on what I've been doing wrong.
Essentially I was playing the wrong character, Lycus, whom as I see now he might be the worst possible option as Antagonist considering his range is incredibly short, forcing him to invade the raiders positions no matter what. Absolutely zero poke, and I feel his extra health and shield is worthless when fighting more than one raider at once (which is 95% of the time for me), If I was spotted I'd couldn't get close to their group either. Yeah, pretty irritating.
Now, since reading discussions on here, I've been playing Konstantine, and am doing WAY better, like I've already gotten 52 stigma since the leaderboards refreshed (PS4). I love his repulse, it keeps the Raid group away when they try to overwhelm me, and his gun I recently got, the "Ogon Shtorm" does OBSCENE damage close-mid range. I'm thoroughly pleased so far with my efforts and I'll continue to play him and improve my skills and decision making.
I'm glad I stuck through and kept practicing at this game, I love 1v4 games such as this and "Evolve" was the last time I've seen a game that offered that chance. I hope this game grows more, the content is amazing, and I appreciate the world design as well (Btw releasing Dr. Kuzmann as a raider is hype af, I didn't even see that coming).
Thanks for this game, I'm grateful it exists.
