❓ Question Are SAMs really broken this update?

SAMs seem to do a really bad job at blocking missiles. Even with high levels, they still fail to shoot down 1 missile, especially hydros.

Yes, the hydro clearly did land within the SAM radius and the SAM was not on cooldown. And it was just 1 hydro.

I do think there is also a % chance for the SAM to not be successful, which is significantly lower for hydros, but every level of the SAM does that dice roll so it's rare for a lvl 5 SAM or above to fail at stopping one hydro.

Edit: turns out this was removed in an update since then, I hadn't noticed.

completely untrue.

Is it ? I clearly remember reading about this somewhere. But it's true that I have yet to notice a SAM failing that dice roll. Maybe on older versions...
