Let's talk Overpowered Jungle Turtles...

Well, yelets are a 1 in 200 drop chance, but they drop off any jungle enemy

I wore my angler armor to fish, and had 10 defense. (this is in expert mode) The turtle did 250 damage to me. But the turtle isn't overpowered. The turtle is nothing compared to the Moss Hornet. As long as you are attacking the turtle, it can't even touch you. It doesn't fly either, so it isn't hard to hit them.

Turtles are fine. They have a easy enough counter. Keep moving and stunlock them. On the other hand hornets and more importantly Moss Hornets can drop me dead before i realize it.

Haven't played Expert Mode yet but it definitely feels like Turtle Shells are too rare.

I had 3 before I even mined chlorophyte...
RNG is RNG

It's meant to be challenging so you have a reason to progress to the next tier of armor. If it's a big problem you can always start your own safe chlorophyte farm.
