 Stormtrooper effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Stormtrooper effect, also called Stormtrooper syndrome, is a cliché phenomenon in works of fiction where minor characters (cannon fodder) are unrealistically ineffective in combat against more important characters (almost always the protagonists "equipped" with character shields).

The Stormtrooper effect often manifests itself in computer games, given that it is easier for the game creators to program a single non-intelligent enemy and insert many of them into a level than it is to create even a single very intelligent enemy.
