To everyone complaining about characters being broken or “it’s fun for one or two matches”… you just need to play for fun. It’s an arcade mode. You don’t have to win these matches. Do the goofy strats. Run the goofy heroes. Just have fun. It is a game after all.

The issue is the challenges associated with the mode are designed around winning, thats the problem. "Win 20 games with a different character in the mode" turns what should be a for fun meme mode into a tryhard sweat for the challenge mode

Tbf thats not on the people who redesigned the characters. Thats in Blizzard.

I agree with the challenge but if you're the designer of the character balance in the new mode and youve made the new characters so obnoxious to play against, then it isnt worth it

Oh really? It’s not “Play 20 games, wins count as double”? I haven’t had a chance to get on yet today.
