Yeah in Shadow of Mordor that's definitely a problem. Short of doing something stupid or just early game when you don't know shit, you probably aren't going to die. Even if you do die it's very unlikely to be because the captain in question was unusually challenging, just random crap.
In Shadow of War they sort of fixed that problem. You will pretty frequently get your shit pushed in by captains with the most bullshit of trait combinations, especially if you haven't grinded enough to be higher level than them.
