Challenges are simply toxic

All i want out of this game is to play support in qp, that’s it… no more, no less. That’s all I want.

So why do I get to miss out on event goodies? I hate playing tank and damage. I tried keeping an open mind but its MISERABLE for me. I know I’m not the only one that feels this way.

Because of how the WoW challenges work I realised I should queue All Roles to clear them quickly. As I am below half way on the BP this is important. By the time I cleared them today, every single game I was tank. No support, no DPS, just tank. And many games the other players were just vile to either me or the other tank.

I have almost all the challenges completed with 122/140 matches of Legionnaire. It doesnt take too long, just play all roles and it will go by fast. Try new heroes that’s how I keep interested.

I NEVER wanted to play Battle of the Beasts EVER again. It’s one of the worst modes, if not THE worst mode they’ve ever released. It’s absolutely horrendous and Zen is mandatory in every single match or you lose, because his ult heals almost a full bar.

see this is why i dont care about what blizzard wants and instead set challenges myself, so got this scoped accuracy on widow, now working on achieving the same while scope going to take a bit of time though, but got to do it fast before they revert her aimbox :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

I won a game as tank and I still turned OW off afterward because it isn’t the experience I’m looking for when I play the game. This isn’t wow, it shouldn’t be a chore.

If you mean queue as all roles, they do it to normalize queue times. Without it, ain’t nobody would touch that option.

i meant the needing to play a certain amount of tank, damage and support roles. Sure it can be done eventually doing the fill option but my point is that i hate playing anything other than support

Can’t you cheese it by queing All Roles and leaving before the game starts if you don’t get Support or DPS.

That way you get credit towards the tank mission without having to play it per se?

Hey, so recommending to someone to constantly leave games and get temporarily timed out/banned from qp just because they get a role they don’t want when queuing all roles is genuinely insane!!

Edit: it also would not count considering the challenges are almost always “complete X games” not just “queue and leave X games

Desperate times.

Yes, you complete the games as the non-tank role when you get it. You are not going to get a penalty if you leave at start up (visual bug aside). Otherwise it’s just 2 minutes so who cares as long as you do it before the match starts and a back fill can get it. We are talking about QP here where people just leave mid-game on the regular.

I don’t tank at all, so I fumbled most the challenge through DVA, copping phat Ls on other tanks, and occasionally getting support/DPS.

With my tanking, I know some people wish I left before the game started lol. But thankfully had nice teammates. But have seen other new tanks ( some doing it for the challenge I figure) this week and getting abused.

People really overuse toxic nowadays. It litterally could mean anything now.

Theres nothing stopping you from only qieing support… you can still complete most dailies without doing all roles so conpletely the BP is still sinple enough.

Theyre challenges for a reason. Get over it.

If all you want to do is play support, then why is it a problem that you don’t get the ‘goodies’?

Yes, as long as you leave before the “Assemble your team” screen ends

If you leave before the “Assemble your heros” screen/countdown is finished, there’s no penalty, even if it tells you there will be.

You’re missing the point. The point is that all 3 of those are “As Tank or All-Roles”, so rerolling games until you get the role you WANT while staying in All-Role will make the games you do finish count for all 3.

no it isn’t, it’s a game challenge.

it adds up though so you’ll end up just not being able to play lmao

long story short, throwing games for a challenge isn’t exactly a good idea to be throwing around in a community full of people who already throw and leave :person_shrugging:

I didn’t miss the point I just meant what they said could be taken badly and it’s not exactly a good idea, plus rerolling for games until they get the role they want would take ages. I completed it by queuing all while someone else queued tank and it didn’t take long at all.

Just pick Roadhog every time and spam your self-heal.

I completely understand OP’s point. Nothing drives me more crazy than queuing for all-roles and getting assigned tank for 12 matches in a row, only to be healed by supports that clearly are not support players.

With nearly 1,800 hrs in support, and less than 200 hrs in tank… when I queue all roles, shouldn’t the matchmaker have me wait a bit longer every few times so that I can take a support slot? Isn’t that better for the entire team?

This is why for doing all rolls challenges you que with a friend who only picks the tank roll that way you get your challenge done and never have to play that roll.

I guess my point was, if I can try this again…

The only time I enjoy playing is support. I have no desire to be challenged in other roles. It’s not my thing.

Idk why they can’t give those goodies for just games played. Why does blizzard need to get cute with all their games as in:

-Play x games as this
-Play y games as that
-Earn the achievement for playing on a Wednesday that is also a full moon

It’s a huge reason I quit wow when they had that stupid Pathfinder achievement required for flying.
