I don't know how others feel about this suggestion (and while I think it's a sort of cool idea, especially something different to do,) I personally think it doesn't work that well as a run overall. There's also some things to take into account if we did want this as a category, which would be 1: timing rules, and 2: how we would split the runs up into categories on the leaderboard. Getting Adora to level 20 on a beginner map basically requires you to get it just before reaching round 60, or literally at the end of the run which doesn't play out that differently compared to a normal medium speedrun from a couple of test runs I just did. Meanwhile, getting Adora to level 20 on say an advanced map or an expert map will def happen before round 60 if done properly due to heroes gaining more xp on those maps. This is also where a couple of timing questions come into play, as it would be different than any of the current rules. Furthermore, we would have to decide if we count the end time as the frame Adora hits level 20, or the end of the actual run. A couple of things to end off on, but restricting it to only medium would be a stale category imo (we obviously can't do easy,) maybe hard or impoppable as well? We would then also have to divide it into difficulty of the map (beginner, intermediate, advanced and expert) alongside the difficulty played (medium, hard, impop.) Which I feel at that point would just be oversaturating things.
I'd love to hear some thoughts about what we could do with this if people are interested and want it, but I'm not sure it works that well compared to the categories we currently have.
Hey all,
Following on from none's previous post, as of update 43.1 things are back to normal. Please make sure your game is updated if you wish to perform any runs with the IGT mod or farms above tier 2.
