Metamorph Statistics: Challenges and Ascendancy Classes

All I see is that Necromancer needs a serious nerf. No class should dominate that much two leagues in a row. You have a serious balance problem. And please, don't turn them from top class to completely useless either, we need balance, not useless classes.

Absolute not. Just make the other classes more attractive.
Nerfing the necromancer removes the pleasure of playing this kind of builds. But it will end in a nerf as it is the way of GGG doing thing sadly enough.

I don't think it's fair to compare it to Blight League, which had its own external factors at play: most of the serious players actually skipped that league entirely, due to no fault of the game's own: WoW Classic and Destiny 2 FTP launched the very same week as Blight League, if memory serves. That made Blight the least-played league of the 3.x era by far.

In terms of challenge count, I'm noticing a lot flatter (and lower) gain rate. Plus, we're over halfway through the league, and still the bar for 40/40 is at zero pixels long?

While many are reporting many of the challenges are "easier" the different contour of the results is... Weird. By comparison, let's look at Legion league, at FOUR weeks in (instead of 6½):



One takeaway is... We have an awful lot of 1-challenge accounts in Metamorph this time around, while those that push climb numbers pretty consistently... At least until they pass 36. (the big drop from 1 to 2 makes me wonder just how many bots there might be...)

While I opted to skip the league entirely myself, I could tell that some of the challenges were getting pretty nasty, even while most were pretty fair. A breakdown of some commentary:

• Defeat 1,500 Map Bosses - I do actually miss this from Harbinger League. This is the league's mandatory "do a hell of a lot of maps" challenge, and this one's the most fair way about it; it rewards clever thinking, and can rapidly be done by strategically twinning maps with multiple bosses. (e.g, triple-boss maps like Arena, City Square, Graveyard, Vaal Pyramid, etc.) Given the new Atlas system allows for just easily getting lots of white maps of the right kind, this is a lot more reasonable than previously, so it DOESN'T count as a "nasty" one.
  
  
• Defeat Conquerers Conditionally - This is a bit of a lopsided list. Some are very easy (Drox, for instance, runs FAR too long to NOT destroy 10 banners) while others might be confusing to accomplish, namely Al-Hezmin's. And failing one of this can get frustrating since this means you'll be a long way from another attempt.
  
  
• Complete these Encounters VI - This really is just a particularly high-end trading challenge, especially once you get in the "level an awakened gem to 5." Not exactly hard... But kinda annoying.
  
  
• Defeat Sirus Conditionally - Sirus is a buggy boss fight, and very un-fun to do. I'll admit I still don't know exactly whether you can use skills like Dash and avoid failing a lot of these challenges; all I know is that I don't think I've ever gotten hit by these things (let alone died) so far. This feels like possibly the most frustrating challenge: one failure and you gotta wait a LONG while to try again, and it'd never be clear what you did wrong. Bad challenge.
  
  
• Complete Deadly Encounters - Only frustrating because of how much more work/RNG getting Uber Elder is gated behind now.
  
  
• Complete Endgame Grinds - This is possibly the worst grind list I've ever seen so far; for once hitting 100 appears to be the easiest of them all. Doing Sirus -75 times- is nuts: no one is "fairly" going to do it. They're either doing "Sirus carries" or paying to get completions; the game needs less of these type of pseudo-trading challenges. The Legion encounters one, besides being kinda laggy, just goes to "spend 1,200 chaos orbs on the map device;" not exactly creative.

Looking at the chart for the challenges...

There are 9 lines. 24% has gotten 12 challenges, which isn't even the first line. So over 250% has gotten 1 challenge???????

I don't get it. How is that chart showing more players completing 36 achievements but less completing 35...I need a new brain, but don't you need to have 35 achievements to reach 36 ?
