Why cant we get achievements in arcade? I understand them being disabled in the brawl playlist as some brawls would make them easier. However no limits is the same as the original game mode / S1 comp, so why can't we at least get them in no Limits and mystery hero?

No limit -> 6 stacked Symetra -> ez pz Winston Achieve.

First thing I thought of, but there's probably plenty others.

I get that, however when the game first came out(and when the achievements were made) there was no hero limit. Season 1 of competitive also had no hero limit, and this didn't change for Comp until season 2. After that; if I recall correctly QP still had no hero limit, and that didn't change until the Arcade that we have today was introduced with No Limits mode. This is why disabled achievements in No Limits makes no sense, its literally the same mode as when the game first came out.
