Why overwatch doesn't have daily challenges?

This is exactly why some ideas for dailies is something Blizzard would not want. IIRC, Blizzard stated during the beta that they wanted to avoid systems, just as their old progression system before lootboxes, that encouraged players to play certain heroes over others.

This is why we don’t have individual levels on each hero so people don’t feel obligated to play “x amount” of every hero. This is why a golden gun can be obtained on one character by playing any desired character in competitive.

So dailies that requested players to play certain heroes or classes would be cause game design issues. Dailies that were broad and applied to every hero, such as capturing a point, escorting a payload, getting on fire, etc, would be great alternatives and wouldn’t really go against this vague idea that they’ve had in mind during Overwatch’s development. Of course that was 2+ years ago, and opinions and mindsets do change.

having a daily and weekly challenge would be cool. Daily is like “Win with X hero once” and weekly would be like “get X amount of elims on any won games”. That’d mean like the elims would be 100 or something and you have to get that many total between games you’ve won and it gives you a box for doing it.

I wasn’t even here for the Weekly brawls this game used to have. i joined in season 5 when “ALL BRAWLS” was an arcade mode.

then they reworked the arcade, added the game browser, and got rid of ALL BRAWLS
which made me very sad. All Brawls had so much variety and made the arcade fun. Now the arcade is the same 5~ modes (with slight alterations) shuffled weekly

There are so many opportunities for new brawls but Blizz thought the game browser would satisfy that void. it doesn’t, the game browser is full of XP grinds, chill dont kills, and “18+ roleplays”

If they just fixed the arcade, this game wild be way less repetitive.

  • Bring back all brawls, make it the main attraction all the time.
  • Make new brawls every time a new hero is added
  • After the weekly 3/3/3 let us get lootboxes for every 6 wins
  • Allow us to purchase old event specific modes for 5,000 credits so we can play them whenever we want (and also have something else to spend our credits on after we reach 100~% with cosmetics)
