It’s nothing to do with balls, and everything to do with a lack of cohesion, and the fact that there’s four of them running around right now. The one with the sword being especially troublesome as it hits anyone trying to block it in. So, new tactics will need to be learned or the top levels will need to pause their fighting and pull together at some point to wipe it out (and die a few times in the process). I’m game, if I’m needed, but I’m no badass, I could stall it for maybe 5 seconds.
if its specifically targeting newbies who haven’t hit it, and are not in the way of its sword though that would be a good thing to know about if its the new game experience though.
