You’re gonna tell me it’s jut total mayhem where you could spam abilitties more than usual and farm these stats more. So? Even if we go with that, this is comp mode and the games last longer that standard modes. Not to mention that what’s the harm if it was “boosting your stats”? Not like progression gives lootboxes (not yet anyway) and all you get are those titles and some profile background-things. In theory this would be min-maxing as you would be dealing more damage in a single stadium match than say a QP match, but it also lasts like 2-3 QP matches.
My point is every time I see my “character level” screen and see just “playtime” and “wins” move up just makes me question why. I’m pretty all those dailies “deal/heal damage” count in stadium no problem, but for hero levels that’s too much?
