BP challenges dilemma

So, 7 out of 10 weekly challenges are for the BR mode. And on top of that all three challenges that give one BP level are for BR only. I can reroll the daily challenges for Arenas only, I got 400k to...

Yeah. The BP challenges are a bit "hit and miss" in regards to the S9 changes.

The positives being you get one free reroll a day, now. And you can also pick what mode it's for. Also, each weekly set has the *potential* to award you more stars than it did in S7 & S8.

*However*, the problem arises that many weekly challenges are only done in one mode or the other. Thus, "forcing" people to play in a way that may not suit what they find enjoyable. And the fact that weekly challenges are static (unlike the dailies), this creates issue and partly contradicts the whole point of the other changes for this season (the point being freedom of choice and options).

So, yeah. Now, I'm not sure if feedback such as yours and mine will influence the weeks going forward (like how S7 challenges were altered mid season) or if we won't see any changes until S10, or if the devs just feel the system is perfect the way it is and have no plans to alter anything at all. I guess only really time will tell

@JonStriker126 I don't even do challenges manually. But still manage to complete BP in 9-10 weeks. Rest would complete auto, but now those challenges won't be done because it's in an entirely different mode.

I will see how much levels I gain by the end of this week to better gauge the situation. My prediction is 9 BP lvls

All I can say for now, is try to gear your dailies toward the mode you're playing the most. As for the weekly ones, due your main mode related challenges first and then maybe go to the other mode later in the week or in the season, so you don't burn yourself out on doing either one too much. That's probably how I'll approach it, myself.

Sadly, it's all you can really do for now, unless they make changes to the system based on feedback

All I can say is I would like to choose where to play as much as possible. I get why some challenges *need* to be mode specific. Like "get Top 3 with XYZ Legends". But, like I have a weekly sniper damage task that's Arena only. And a weekly pistol one that's BR only. Like... Why is that a thing? Both of them are accessible/achievable in both modes, I *should* be able to do them in either one I choose.

@BaldWraithSimp I'm already at 10 lol. I kinda hate that they have arena specific challenges to force people to play if they are OCD & want to complete all the weekly challenges. If the mode is good you shouldn't have to put challenges to force people to play it.
