Why? Let's take regina for example, the first raid of all the season 3. Let's imagine you are a 21k Defense lann, the highest defense possible. You're so good and strong you don't even need to dodge, just keep that SH active and spin to win.
While this is true for most of her attacks, it all changes when regina does her RED attacks.
Regina's Red attacks ignore defense, and do fixed damage(unless you have a damage reducing buff like sylas shield or corona or fiona's iron defense), so thats a fixed 4k damage. A Lann can only stand 3-4 of those hits, and then he's dead, no matter the defense.
Also, to dodge her red AoE as a Lann, requires the knowledge of the boss and the reaction to dodge in time, because he has poor mobility.
I'm not trying to defend Season 3 content and sell it for the best ever. It has its flaws. But it simply isnt as gear dependant as you people are trying to imply.
I actually don't like how the new red attacks came to be after Eochaid. Instead of "Very strong and slow attacks" they were fast and very weak. That made some bosses simply annoying to play, since you can't dodge some attacks if you are badly positioned or if a team player dodges into you (Abomination's Red jump - Cancerous as hell, gladly it doesn't hit very hard)
