Ana's Bastet Challenge...isn't a challenge

Ana’s Bastet Challenge is weak af. It should be an actual CHALLENGE or just call it “Ana’s Bastet Free Skin.” It should have challenges like “sleep 3 enemies in 1 game” or “heal [some amount of health] with ana’s nades in 1 game,” etc. etc. Or at the very least it should require wins with the character. This is just sad in my opinion.

How 'bout, we never do that? Sound good?
I don’t want to need to play a ton of game where one hero is instalocked and having to work around them possibly being absolutely horrendous as that hero because people want a skin.

Blizz already regrets Gold weapons, I like these mini events and don’t want them to regret these too.

Nano wasnt a challenge either. If it was exclusively tied to 1 hero, no one would ever get the skin and people would be quitting games if they didnt manage to pick them.

Some of the achievements in this game are already borderline game sabotage just to get them, so I think this was the right choice. You shouldn’t be having to make decisions in game based on an achievement rather than whats best for the team.

Its fun, a lot of people seems to like this kind of challenges.
You are asking for too much, especially with the achievements thing.

It’s a small little thing that blizzard provided us. Be grateful that they wanted to be nice and provide us a skin, an icon, and pose.

They rarely do small events anymore. Don’t take this for granted.

Considering the teammates you get, getting 9 wins is a challenge

It’s titled as a challenge but it’s really just something everyone can participate and get something out of.

I like this, and I liked the Nano Cola thing, and I’d like if they made more things like this with special skins for more heroes.

It’s literally just Arcade but on every mode, I don’t mind tho, I’d rather keep it simple.

Calling something “[insert word] challenge” doesn’t mean its nessessarily “challenging”. Like the ice bucket “challenge” for awareness and charity.

Ana Bastet “challenge” is something you can do while you do overwatch related things.

Something that doesn’t seem like a challenge to you, might turn out to be a challenge for others.

Yes it’s a challenge.

You have to play Overwatch and win. That’s pretty hard

I’m completely fine with it being easier for me to get a skin. :man_shrugging:
Sorry not sorry lol.

I actually like it. It encourages me to actually play the game.
Just playing for lootboxes isnt going to cut it as i am at a point where 9/10 boxes only give me duplicates.

Ugh, same.

So yeah, it’s a nice addition, I appreciate it. It would be awesome if there was one with a Mercy skin.

that would require actual effort tho, not to mention the salty people who would say ‘OMFG EVERYONE IS PICKING ANA BEFORE ME AND I CANT GET SKIN’

I Love you for this post.

OP. For YOU, it mightn’t have been a challenge. Do I have a story for you…

Yesterday I decided to QP the games for wins, thinking it would get done faster and be easier than Comp. (I’m a higher skill player.)

First hour or so. 4 wins… 2 losses… QP as usual. Normal bot teammates, but if I performed I could carry. Then, out of nowhere…

8 losses in a row. Eight. EIGHT. For over 2 hours all I did was lose lose lose lose… Matchmaker kept placing me with teammates 1000 - 1500 SR lower than myself, and against teams a full rank (500 SR) higher on average. :joy: There was nothing I could do. Stuff like going Bastion and wiping half the enemy team (3K) in a fight… die… team loses 5 to 3. Widow 4K HS in a teamfight? Doesn’t matter. Team feeds faster than I can frag.

Eventually, after TWO hours and 0 - 8… it took pity. It put me against players probably 1500 - 2000 SR below my rank. (Hard to tell at a certain point as lot of lower ranks esp. in QP private profile.)

I lost it. I went Tracer. I won 4 games in a row with 20-1, 15-0 (final blows to deaths, not elims) scorelines. I felt like I was violating the enemy team. At that point, I was done… I didn’t even care to relent. :laughing:

Matchmaker finally caught up after 4 games. Lost 1 (barely). Then another easy win to finish out the 9 wins. FINALLY.

So, OP. With all due respect… Ana’s Bastet challenge was definitely enough challenge for me. Lol.
