Cept you really only need 7 assists in this event to get the rewards, so high pinpoint alphas are actually discouraged by this event where it's more effecent to spread the weapons around.

Other than that point you made the rest is reasonable, oh, that was your only point.

i think kills should be weighted a bit more than assists but yes, hope the match is close, get your assists and you've got 130

Kudos to you for giving us opportunities to win free stuff! Things that would otherwise cost us hard earned dollars. It is much appreciated and I am truly grateful. However, enough is enough. I just purchased 3 hero mechs and every time I try to take them out to level them up, there is some challenge going. These challenges promote pinpoint alpha, LRM spam and arty strike builds to flood the cues. Piloting a basic Misery in these conditions is annoyingly slow and painful.

I'm not saying these players are wrong or that their builds are. I'm just saying it would be nice to have a breather between these challenges. A time where we can prepare for the next onslaught of competitive play. Level up mechs. Train new team mates or just relax and have fun. Thanks guys.

Hmm this challenge requires you to touch 7 enemy mechs, and hope your team kills them. Heck I've gotten matches that qualify in losses.

This challenge is more of a bonus for playing then anything skillful.

Yeah I see this one purely as an event that rewards MC while I level new mechs, experiment with builds, etc. The only time I can see it as a challenge is if you're in a blow-out loss where your team simply doesn't get enough kills for anyone to score off kills/assists. With no survival, killing, or winning requirements, this one is just easy.

I like this current competition. The guy in our squad who is doing the best is in a spotter mech. It rewards teamwork!

Most of these challenges allow you to level up mechs and such but with extra incentives, I don't see a problem with a constant stream of challenges as long as the challenge criteria doesn't completely ruin the quality of matches.
