10 MORE Bosses Removed For Being Too Hard
6. C'Thun - World of Warcraft
When players found themselves facing off against the tentacled Old God C'Thun in the early days of World of Warcraft, the entity was considered so difficult as to be basically impossible to beat.
It was even infamously argued that it was mathematically impossible to defeat C'Thun in his O.G. form given the strength of his eye beam and tentacle attacks, the maximum healing capacity granted to players, and the sheer mind-boggling logistics of co-ordinating a 40-player raid.
Others pointed to bugs in C'Thun's code which allowed the creature to deliver more damage than he should've been able to, making the fight even more of a futile endeavour.
Even the most tenacious raid group couldn't fell the beast, and so after almost three months of attempts and very vocal complaints, Blizzard finally decided to throw players a bone, by dropping a patch which removed C'Thun's original form, replacing him with a decidedly less vicious variant.
Unsurprisingly it was mere hours before C'Thun was defeated post-nerf - a decision which the few players who believed he could be defeated in his original form largely lamented.
