is it just me or does it seem that when you play on heroic its easy but for some reason its so effing hard on legendary i mean out of all the times i played heroic skirmish (tired of the warthog rush online) i win easily but on legendary its so grueling it seems that they do more damage and such ive only won like 4/20 something games

The computer straight up cheats on Legendary man. I can beat it, but only with a partner and only with a big time rush. If you ever give it time to ramp up, the AI will crush you because it can apparently build multiple units at once from one structure and starts with 8 trillion dollars or something like that. I guess I understand why it's like that - there's just no way that a computer could ever really legitimately outsmart an intelligent human opponent - but it still sucks big time to face it. My advice for legendary: all rush all the time. But anyway, to your actual point. It does seem like there is a huge jump between Heroic and Legendary. That's especially odd because if you play by yourself in skirmish a lot the comp. will assign you a difficulty number (ranging from one to 100). Seems like a sliding difficulty adjuster with all those options would be better than simply four difficulty settings, especially since the varying levels are obviously already there.
