I have 7 wins with 7 different legends and absolutely 0 idea who all 7 are. I'm hoping I don't have one on Horizon and playing her. I'm going to be a little annoyed if I grind 20-30 matches finally get the win and find out I already have one with her. From there this is like the location specific challenges from season 3. I would not mind it, IF it were win with 6 different legends, but 8?! I think many players are going to struggle to complete this challenge even if they are slightly above average in skill. Even if it was get a win with 6 different legends, many players will struggle. Many will be lucky to have a win ratio of 5% with a legend they main and are good with. Just at those rates they would have to play over 200 matches. When you force them to attempt this with 8 different legends it ultimately means playing legends they will be horrible with. That means a lower win ratio and hundreds of matches played chasing this challenge. Those matches are not only not fun, but extremely frustrating because you're being forced to play legends you don't like and are not good with.I'm all for challenges being challenging.. Pursuit of badges like the Triple Triple or 4k is challenging yes, but it's not frustrating.

@DarthValtrex This is such an easy to ignore challenge! It only awards what, a badge ?!? Doesn't help battlepass progress, doesn't improve skills... I'm pretty surprised you got so frustrated with this.It's true that it's somewhat frustrating to not know which legends have contributed to its completion, but there's a positive aspect to this, it encourages you to try the legends you use the least and main them well enough to secure a win.Even a 2K badge can be way more frustrating. I do over 1K damage and barely get a kill in a match and in the next one I do 9 kills, but just a little above 1.2K damage. Anyway, the negative feelings go away before I get connected back to the lobby 🙂

@asukojo it should count up wins from the beginning of season 8. But! You have to win a game in order for it to start tracking. I won a game right after the Anniv. came out and my progress shot up to 5/8. If you don't know who you've won with, you have to scroll through BP like @Biochemikas said and look for the stat-trackers there.

@DarthValtrex Can you not just check the trackers for wind this season...and use a legend you haven't played to get that 8th win?Edit: just noticed @Biochemikas suggested this.Smart cookie. 😛

@DarthValtrex oh believe me, I feel your pain. Winning with 8 Legends was the worst. SBMM really, really made me grind my teeth in frustration while I was working on that. The most egregious case was this level 4 Gibralter partnered with their PC friend. Poor guy had 0 understanding of how to move, shoot, loot, what his character did, what the loot did, etc. etc. We fought ex-Diamond players that game. Bad enough the audio cut-out mid-fight letting an enemy squad mace us, but it just HAD to be one of the Diamond players T-bagging our boxes. Edit: Then when you do win it's cause you had to 1v3 every single squad and work 3x as hard cause no one else can do anything. 369 total games, 29 wins, 96 Top 5s, and I can count on one hand how many times my team weren't 600+ damage behind me. Gah!

@pastaclownYeah I shut the game off for the night because of this challenge. It put me in such a bad mood, I was not having fun at all.Most players I would imagine 85-90% will struggle achieve 6 wins with 6 different legends. When you're playing legends you don't know or are not good with, you have to rely on skill with guns alone. The game become so dependent on legend ability that it makes this challenge insanely hard, especially with SBMM and the lobbies. The guns challenges are one thing. You don't have to win and you can run a gun you're good with, with a gun you're not so great with. So it's not nearly as punishing.

Win with 8 different legends was bad challenge.

@DarthValtrex No one is making you do the challenge tho. It is a badge you will never use. Just ignore it.

I remember when I wasnt really maiming anyone and decided I'd do the 8 legends 10 wins thing a long time ago. It too did not tell you how many wins you had with each so it was confusing.

@Biochemikas I've got like 35 wins I think and it didnt fill out mine. 🤣

@hayhorI skipped season7, so I was just playing every legend to get a feel for the game again. I think I had wins on 9 or 10 legends already when the event started. And I think I have only 40 or 50 wins total too (obviously octane gets the major chunk still xD).

@Biochemikas Ooo I get it now. You might be right in what you are saying as I think I have wins on 2 legends at the start and only one since the event started but it shows 2 legends complete.

@hayhorYou can just go through the "wins" trackers on the season line and count all the legends with 0's (you don't need to actually own the trackers already, they show live data when you select them in the pass). I'm almost sure you'll come up with a number that matches what the event says exactly.
P.S. Just for fun, I looked at what I have now: 43 total wins, 5 legends with 0's (so wins on 11 legends), 21 wins on octane (others: 6,4,2,2,2,2,1,1,1,1).

Is the win from beginning of Season-8 or win from beginning of the event ?
I don't really care about badges so I don't even try.
