Round and around we go challenge

The only challenge for hero mastery that I don’t have is “Round and around we go” simply because no one wants to play the hero mastery gauntlet anymore. I wouldn’t have a problem doing the 5,000 rounds myself but you need 3 players and again, nobody plays this mode. Even setting up 2 afk teammates, they get kicked after a minute or so and i don’t want those accounts to get leaver penalties.

5,000 rounds is over 500 matches played, and each match is 14 minutes… If my math is right that’s over 117 hours of hero mastery gauntlet.
I honestly think there are 2 very easy solutions to grinding this mode for this specific challenge. Either lower the number of rounds OR allow progress to be made when selecting the “Practice with AI”

I know most people don’t care about a lot of these challenges but I always complete every event challenge and I’m working on completing every lifetime challenge as well. I just need to play a bit more deathmatch, arcade, and a LOT of hero mastery gauntlet.
Honestly the new challenge system is a mess and should’ve been kept simple the way its always been.

Not even to mention all the competitive challenges for modes that haven’t been available for well over a couple seasons. Also, I don’t think ANYONE likes the hero progression challenges for reaching anything past level 100 for any of the heroes.

I guess I just think there are a lot of areas to improve and the mess of challenges is on that list. Please remove this challenge, or at least make it possible.

This challenge is essentially inpossible. I tried waiting in queue for up to an hour last time I tried to play an gave up. Same with legendary pve missions. If you haven’t done them yet get looking for a group on discord because you can’t find anyone queuing for it anymore

Well, I completed the challenge.
While playing the gauntlet, I met someone who had completed 5000 rounds around the time I finished 2000 rounds.
It’s not impossible if you just grind. It’s just hellishly boring that’s all.
