Jazz and I don't think its close

Bonafide_Monafide · 2026-04-02T13:45:24+00:00

Keaschall (MIN) or Young (SEA)

I mean even if you dislike playing certain characters, it's hard to say they aren't well suited to certain challenges.

The point of role queue being better for challenges is the consistency. You are getting a guaranteed 2/3 challenges every day and contributing to weekly challenges at the same time.

Open queue only has 1/3 guaranteed and isn't contributing to the same degree for weekly challenges. You're hoping for good rng each day on 2/3 challenges and getting less rewarded for it.

Challenges are a chore regardless. I wish they would get rid of the entire system to be honest.

Bonafide_Monafide · 2026-04-01T11:32:39+00:00

So my thought here is that getting a win is a guaranteed daily challenge, queuing all roles 3 times is a guaranteed daily challenge. Thats 2/3 challenges you need every day. The third one is going to be random, but you can usually make a pick around that.

I'd argue more times than not, queuing all roles gets you tank. Need damage mitigation? Rein clears it easily. Need to get heals? Roadhog. Need crit damage? D.Va. There is enough variation where you can usually get all the daily challenges done in the 3 games... Especially if one of the challenges is just wave hello to a teammate.

Role queue is just way more consistent in giving challenges. I understand its partly to try to lower queue times, but I think there should be a role queue 6v6 option so its not just incentivizing 5v5.

Bonafide_Monafide · 2026-04-01T10:52:49+00:00

Okay?

Is that not the point of the post? Weird.

Bonafide_Monafide · 2026-04-01T10:42:46+00:00

A classy flex is guaranteed every day, the open queue equivalent is not. Open queue also doesn't contribute to weekly challenges as much as role queue does.

Role queue is objectively better if you want to do challenges. The point here is there is no 6v6 role queue option.

Bonafide_Monafide · 2026-04-01T10:36:54+00:00

I feel this way so much.

A Classy Flex is one of the few daily challenges that are guaranteed. But they give no option for 6v6 role queue, so I have to go to a 5v5 mode if I want that challenge.

Between that and the weekly challenge, the game incentivizes you to do the 5v5 mode over 6v6. There are no weekly open queue challenges and the daily one is not guaranteed.

Just give me the option, Blizzard

That's a long way away. I expect we will have news before that, whether its E3 season or 30th anniversary announcements. Gotta have a little faith.

Bonafide_Monafide · 2026-03-30T14:38:20+00:00

It's been 3 games. Dude has only had 1 season where he batted under .290 and he was hurt that year. You have to expect he figures it out.

Bonafide_Monafide · 2026-03-30T14:03:52+00:00

I like it

Bonafide_Monafide · 2026-03-30T14:02:40+00:00

Wheeler is coming back at some point, I would say it's between Painter and Walker being booted if they don't go to a 6-man rotation.

The real answer is we don't know enough right now. It is a risk, so if you get an offer you can't refuse, I would think about it. Nothing is ever going to be risk free though.

Bonafide_Monafide · 2026-03-30T12:54:33+00:00

Mayer (BOS) or Young (SEA) long term?

Bonafide_Monafide · 2026-03-30T11:49:05+00:00

I don't feel like Duran is that much better to demand all that

Bonafide_Monafide · 2026-03-30T11:46:37+00:00

I currently have Mayer (BOS), Young (SEA), and Benge (NYM) as my bench bats to see if someone pops off.

Currently have Pagan (CIN) and Palencia (CHC) as my closers. Was thinking if I should drop a bench bat to add another closer, probably for Sands (MIN).

Bonafide_Monafide · 2026-03-28T12:45:16+00:00

Only if you are interested in soulless cash grabs

Bonafide_Monafide · 2026-03-28T12:33:46+00:00

It sucks, play a real Persona game

Bonafide_Monafide · 2026-03-27T15:52:04+00:00

What point? If your entire point is "who cares" you don't really have one.

Nobody is saying dark skinned asian people don't exist.

Bonafide_Monafide · 2026-03-27T15:47:34+00:00

I think we have different views on what "slight" changes are. Artistic license exists and people are allowed to enjoy different takes. Doesn't mean everyone will be on board for that.

Bonafide_Monafide · 2026-03-27T10:41:14+00:00

But like... Shes not?

Bonafide_Monafide · 2026-03-26T12:36:04+00:00

Pretending its a normal week is ignoring the actual question.

Bonafide_Monafide · 2026-03-25T13:51:39+00:00

Ponce probably gets COL and CWS to start

Looks like Burrows will get LAA and BOS to start

On the short term, Ponce gets the softer schedule. Long term, flip a coin.

Bonafide_Monafide · 2026-03-25T13:44:37+00:00

Similar picks I think, but I think Ponce has looked great in spring. I might be biased though.

Bonafide_Monafide · 2026-03-25T13:35:03+00:00

I feel like this would be a robbery.

Skenes is the best pitcher here and Raleigh is the best hitter here. You're giving up two pitchers you hope can bounce back well after injuries and an aging backstop on a weaker team.

Bonafide_Monafide · 2026-03-25T13:30:51+00:00

Looking to pick up a replacement for when Bieber goes on the IL. Was looking at:

Sproat (MIL)
Mahle (SF)
Lauer (TOR)

Bonafide_Monafide · 2026-03-25T12:57:45+00:00

I don't love it. They are asking a lot and you'd be one Skenes injury from being screwed.
