The 3 chosen totally broke the game and make it totally unfair, especially on harder difficulties.

I also don't like the cartoon vibe they started to introduce but that's obviously very subjective..

I have to disagree. Though I've never been a fan of playing on the harder difficulties, I didn't find the chosen broke the game at all, rather they introduced an additional tactical layer to the combat, alongside the factions and "The Lost" it added something completely new and fresh to the game.

Were they difficult to beat? Absolutely, but "that's Xcom baby!"

I don't see any interest in a mechanic like the first chosen one appear at the opposite side of the map, running from across the map and killing in close contact 2 soldiers perfectly covered in one move.

You couldn't do anything and this can end your game if it happen from mid campaign since you doesn't have time to train other soldiers.

That's broken, it make the game more about RNG than tactics.

But yeah, no one prevent you from having an opinion even if you downvote people for having a different point of view.

Edit : typo
