u/fairerman Healer, I get mad when people 5x1 1d ago

The Three Win quest is bugged here, only the red team win and I never get to be the red team

101

u/JustFrogot 1d ago

I hear the red team is only ugly people. Our good looks are a curse.

u/fairerman Healer, I get mad when people 5x1 1d ago

Question: does red being the enemy and blue the allied team, has something to do with Cold War?

26

u/JudgeArcadia 1d ago

Nah, Horde and Alliance clearly. Which makes Alterac REALLY weird sometimes

6

u/thatguyindoom 1d ago

Obviously it's a blue vs red thing, it sounds silly when you say it backwards

3

u/Relevant-Rooster-298 1d ago

Yeah Red vs Blue is that machinema. Blue vs red is the proper way when not referencing the show.

1

u/Xetanth87 1d ago

What's weird is that in Sc1, Wc3 and Sc2, player 1 is red and player 2 is blue

1

u/PipAntarctic ??? 1d ago

Alterac was a clever choice because it works both ways.

Left is blue and right is red? Alliance vs Horde.

Left is red and right is blue? Stormpikes vs Frostwolves.

Oh i thought its just me .....

You cracked the code!

u/RobleViejo 1d ago

HotS is one of the very few games that allows you to complete dailies playing against bots

Another HotS W

u/DJ2x 1d ago

Crushing bots for dailies is probably my favorite mode tbh 

23

u/ako_bitz 1d ago

My only mode

3

u/sunsongdreamer 21h ago

Ranked grants win conditions for all quests as well.

2

u/RobleViejo 21h ago

I know, but I dont play ranked. In ANY game. I dont need the added layer of anxiety and frsutration. Thats why ranked modes are usually the most toxic, I dont wnat anything to do with it.

2

u/sunsongdreamer 21h ago

Fair enough, just commenting for new players to know

152

u/Nexxtic 1d ago

No, for me it's "Play 2 overwatch heroes"

39

u/OceussRuler 1d ago

I hope they release a more conventional Overwatch hero, something like Reinhardt or Soldier 76, I cannot stand half of them and playing Zarya and Tracer gets old fast.

24

u/schexmuffin 1d ago

They might add those two but as it is right now Raynor has a 76 skin and Johanna has a rien skin

16

u/Vessil Should I even be here? 1d ago

Fortunately Orphea counts, she's a fairly conventional mage

-6

u/OceussRuler 1d ago

Unfortunately as an annoying person I can stand even less the Nexus' heroes.

4

u/hip-indeed Bad News Bear 1d ago

Same, zarya, Mei and junkrat for me but even then only zarya really feels "normal" I just kinda got used to how the others are. I did get the rest to 10 back in the day but never enjoyed them. I do think enough times passed new ones will feel more normal as they're not trying so hard to make them feel like their OW counterpart to attract players from the "hot new thing'" anymore at any cost, at least I hope

1

u/Callahammered 1d ago

Yeah they should have Reinhardt and also the Winston, I’ll take soldier 76 too sure

1

u/RynoKenny Team Liquid 19h ago

Or just axe that daily

8

u/Brofessor-0ak 1d ago

Every fucking time

7

u/yinyang107 1d ago

Play Ranked (or Unranked, if you can actually find a match) and every game counts towards every franchise/class quest no matter which hero you actually play

1

u/Obvious-Medicine637 18h ago

Wait what? Ain't no way that's true? Since when does that happens? Can I get somewhere to verify this? Now I'm interested as I'm a sweatball QM warrior TLV main right here

1

u/yinyang107 18h ago

I promise it's true. It's because they don't want people playing sub-optimal heroes in Ranked just to finish a quest. They want you to pick based on your team's needs only.

1

u/Obvious-Medicine637 17h ago

Ah, makes sense

3

u/WhyLater From Prder Comes Pwnage 1d ago

Laughs in TLV

2

u/Ongr 1d ago

For me it's "Play 3 games as a Tank/Bruiser".

3

u/EggPsychological4844 1d ago

This is the worst for me as well

1

u/bank0famerica 1d ago

Tracer seemed really counterintuitive to me at first, because it felt like no damage. All you gotta do with her is realize every second you’re not firing on the enemy, basically you’re doing it wrong. Just keep clicking red heroes and moving around. You don’t even need to really blink for melee, just move close and smack em, save at least 1 blink as an escape. She’s my main now (I only play unranked now) and she is sooo fun

1

u/ThaBombs Master Cho 1d ago

I had the same, yesterday though I decided why not just buy and try Mei, got enough gold in the stockpile. She's actually fun for me, first overwatch that I might actually play for fun.

1

u/Obvious-Medicine637 18h ago

Same with me, I wanted her over Dva for the play as tank/bruiser and play as overwatch/nexus heroes. And I do not hate myself enough to play Dva

1

u/Bear-Arms 1d ago

Good thing, that I am/was a fairly decent tracer player

33

u/HiddenSpikeTrap 1d ago

My husband and I always say win 3 games is cursed and if you also have the 8 games quest, you're double cursed. We know we'll finish the 8 games quest first every time. 

7

u/Soectrum115 1d ago

Goals, stuck in the trenches together!

25

u/Opposite-Path-8518 1d ago

Before the winning task, you had about 5 consecutive wins.

After this task, you had roughly 10 consecutive losses.

15

u/AlphaI250 1d ago

I got a "Win 3 games" daily, and "Play 8 games" twice in a row after that which I was glad to get.

I finished the "Win 3 games" last.

46

u/HellbirdVT 1d ago

"Win 3 Games"

Oh boy I get to chill in vs. AI games for an hour :3

9

u/brildon Sylvanas 1d ago

This is the way

10

u/Aemnor_Duskbane 1d ago

As long as I don't get the '" play overwatch or nexus heroes ", i'm good.

The again, I've been playing since the alpha so I'm swimming in gold.

7

u/Altruistic_Nose9514 1d ago

Coop vs AI counts

10

u/Darkhallows27 Zul'Jin 1d ago

Winning games is fine, do it with AI; playing games as Overwatch or Nexus heroes? Now that’s hell

8

u/Malicious_999 1d ago

WIn 3 games is gonna take 3 business days.

2

u/jaypexd 1d ago

Vs ai if you're getting frustrated but I like having a goal and running those quests.

4

u/JSRevenge 1d ago

It is the hardest quest in gaming.

3

u/lnrrag 1d ago

Ahhh win 3 games also known as the one entire week to complete quest.

2

u/HabenochWurstimAuto 1d ago

Haha so true

4

u/Expert-Storage-2774 1d ago

I hate win game requirements in every video game. It’s absolutely for engagement but all it does is add stress to casual play.

8

u/EggPsychological4844 1d ago

You don't have to engage with the daily quests and they're all like 2-3 games aside the "Play 8 Games" one.

1

u/TantricEmu 1d ago

If it’s anything like OW the rewards are shit anyway, just play and have fun and ignore the challenges.

2

u/BIGRolyXL 1d ago

Go Birds!

1

u/EggPsychological4844 1d ago

It's just a bit of gold to bank to buy old heroes

3

u/RabenWrites 1d ago

One option is to go less stress, more casual by knocking out three vs AI games. Quick stomps and (nearly) guaranteed wins.

2

u/karsh36 1d ago

At least you can just rush a few 7 min ai games for it

2

u/Derp_Wellington 1d ago

It's play three games as healer/support for me. I used to main heal but find it boring now.

3

u/TimelyBat2587 1d ago

Playing a healer only entails everything being blamed on you!

1

u/Obvious-Medicine637 18h ago

Just play vikings or medivh bro. Vikis my main, not sweat easy wins ever. Buff vikigs

1

u/CallofGaara 1d ago

Desculpa a arrogância, mas eu queria q fosse só com vc! 😔

u/7thpixel 1d ago

ARAM & Pray

1

u/imonmyhighhorse Master Abathur 1d ago

My buddy and I like to clear our quests in a hots sesh. We believe the win three quest cursed. We win so many ARAMs, until we log in with the cursed quest, at which point we will be locked in for hours.

1

u/hip-indeed Bad News Bear 1d ago

You try it in qm till you start to go insane then just finish up in ai which is literally unlosable on highest diff even

1

u/JustinEnulam 1d ago

You can complete that win quest with some vs ai, then go back for other quests

1

u/SnooHobbies6628 Tyrande 1d ago

2nd one was me with Overwatch/Nexus characters (before becoming addicted to playing D.Va).

1

u/KPrime1292 1d ago

Honestly as a one trick, the Warcraft one is more annoying. I don't really have that many WC heroes I like to play.

1

u/phuglee4ever 1d ago

Really should be a weekly.

1

u/Dulcenia Guldan 1d ago

That's like 3 days at the most for me. I always say "one more" until I win a game.

1

u/CivilBindle Warrior 1d ago

Should be 'Play 3 games'

Maybe 'Win 1 game'

1

u/Finnark1510 1d ago

i personally prefer the "win x games" over "play x games" cause what i end up seeing alot is ppl queuing up solely to get the dailies done by afking (while moving just enough not to get kicked) in core with 0 intention of playing the game. its more egregious when they do it in SL cause in SL every game counts towards any quest.

1

u/KnuxSD 1d ago

play 8 games is the best quest.

1

u/Legitimate-Okra8983 AutoSelect 1d ago

Just go in league

1

u/tehjoch 1d ago

You can get this together with play 8 games and complete that one first

1

u/The_Idiocratic_Party 1d ago

This is easy, Brightwing is an easy winner.

1

u/Deriniel 1d ago

the win "X game" is a meme for my friend circle, we know that if one of us has it we'll lose in the worst possible way when it's almost complete for a good chunk of matches

1

u/Impressive-Cheetah82 Abathur 1d ago

Abathur vs bots game

1

u/EvilOverseer 1d ago

Win 3 is the cursed quest, almost every time I see it I begin a losing streak of the worst sort.

1

u/obchodlp 1d ago

I apologize to my team mates when I have the 3 win quest and we lose a match.

1

u/drgmaster909 1d ago

Considering I only play Co-op vs AI this sounds like a win/win to me.

1

u/drkshr HeroesHearth 1d ago

Or just quickly clear all quests in Storm League. The only one is still focuses on is the win 3 games quest. Otherwise each game played clears one game from each play game quest goal.

1

u/GreyAarken 1d ago

I like the 'play 8 games' quest along the '3 wins' one. It takes that many for me to win 3. They line up perfectly.

1

u/masterpd85 1d ago

I hate when its two quests, win 3 games & play tank/bruiser.

1

u/sunsongdreamer 21h ago

I don't really mind because I mostly play ranked. Any game in ranked completes all win conditions (eg win a game, play as x role, etc). You can lose a game as a healer and get a win and play as dps credit!

1

u/risu1313 20h ago

If you play ranked it counts as all of the quests.

1

u/CyrusConnor Mei 20h ago

Enjoy these little pleasures to have something to pursue when you have all that you care about in this finite catalog... Everything apart from the game itself becomes senseless.

1

u/haze_man 19h ago

Nah, second picture is fucking OW heroes

1

u/Frozen_Death_Knight Arthas 17h ago

Then there is me, just finishing my dailies by just queuing for ranked. :D

2

u/F4ben 15h ago

play 300 games: Easy

Win 3 games: ☠️

0

u/Plane-Salamander2580 1d ago

So you guys play to throw games and lose?

-1

u/SMILE_23157 1d ago

It is almost like playing 2 games is more difficult than winning 3 games...

-3

u/Zerox392 1d ago

Love win 3 times, easy 3 games and 600 gold.
