Is being unable to progress or complete Team Slayer challenges in Team Slayer matches played through Quickplay and BTB still a thing?
If so, that should be changed/fixed.
I agree with the getting rid of 10 kills with x weapon that doesn’t always spawn on the map. I think they wouldn’t be as bad if we didn’t have the map weapon spawn variants.
Oh and I’d like them to get rid of the multple backsmacks challenge.
However…
I think these challenges would be a lot better if they would last the entire season, and just have new weekly challenges added each week. That way we could have the entire season to get each of the weekly ultimate challenges done.
Then these get x weapon kills, win y times, etc wouldn’t feel as bad IMO.

I actually greatly enjoy those challenges to “win” something specific because that’s what match making should be all about. Winning in order to progress or unlock something specific. If you aren’t a fan of the challenge swap it out if you can. Or add me and I’d be happy to sweat and help you win matches.

Semi-unrelated - but does anyone know if with this Winter event, will there be another rank reset?

Yeah, I honestly don’t mind the win x challenges, but I know they’re not for everyone. Still wish they’d add seasonal challenges though like in other games.

A seasonal challenge would be pretty awesome. Hopefully this progression system of xp will help this appetite of ours.

I do not think match XP will change the challenges. They are for the weekly unlock. Match XP will be for Battle pass progress.

Honestly I want any challenges gone that force me to leave bot arena. I refuse to play against actual players until I can turn off cross-play.

i like and dont have an issue with the challenges. i wish match xp was better than what it is now, but the challenges are fine. they’re easy to get some fast xp and a sometimes cool or sometimes lame ultimate item for a filthy casual like myself and if i dont like a challenge I swap it. I also dont understand why it has to be this false binary of match xp or challenge xp and not have both.
Win matches, perfect kills, back smacks, weapon-specific challenges, and ANY CHALLENGE RELATED TO TEAM SLAYER.
I cant stand team slayer. Much too sweaty for my liking. My least favorite challenge is: “win team slayer matches”
I really like the idea of letting the ultimate challenges last all season. That would reduce stress, and fomo

Fortunately the weekly rewards from the challenge system are mostly lame so I can ignore the challenge system most of the time. Sadly the few times there’s something kinda neat that I want and I start doing challenges, any fun that I normally have with the game is immediately sucked out.
So ya, I really hope the challenge system goes away completely. It ruins the spirit of the game and Overwatch 2 is experience the same problem atm with their garbage battle pass with people focusing on their “challenges” instead of just playing the damn game.

I’m just reworking and starting to enjoy Team Slayer much more than any other playlist because of the various weapons and equipment that are DRASTICALLY different compared to ranked.

I’m wondering the same thing. It seems like with the most resent one that there wouldn’t be another one so quickly, but I could see with new competitive maps being added to the rotation that it’s a clean reset for everyone again.
It was confirmed in another topic that there will be a rank reset:

Until there is a reason for me to collect XP after I finish the Battle Pass, I don’t really care.
I finished S2 months ago.
I get that match XP will help me complete future passes but it didn’t take a long time to do it before, I assume this will only make it quicker.

I would like to see en end to any and all game type/playlist challenges. I absolutely hate Tactical Slayer. I don’t enjoy it a single bit. It’s such a drag to be forced to play it. I don’t care much for Rumble Pit or Team Slayer either. What’s even more offensive is that the challenges often practically require you to play multiple games of the offending game type. It’s like the game designer is specifically trying to punish you for wanting to play their game.

They want you to spend money on those stupid challenge swaps.

The problem is that they sell the challenge swaps, incentivizing them to make the poorly recieved challenges more prominent than Match XP. I doubt any match bonus will be equal, no matter your performance. They have a big problem with making the games feel rewarding.

I believe that’s the point. Once they find that sweet spot of how much XP to hand out for the average match to get people to progress through a battle pass very quickly, they’ll start pumping out seasons that last only a month or two instead of the 6+ months we’ve currently dealt with. Though I wonder what this’ll mean for the Fracture events. Are those also gonna be sped up, or will future Fracture events last multiple seasons and still be the setup they’ve currently been?
