Ohio, USAPlanning on buying another smurf once the game goes on sale during the event. Want to do something interesting to try and make leveling it to unlock competitive a little bit more interesting.
-
Timing would start as soon as you que for your first game.
-
Time ends as soon as you pull up your profile.
-
No restrictions on queing with people, playing certain game modes, etc. The only restriction would be NOT doing this run during a double XP time period (afaik, only one has ever happened).
Probably won't do this for a few weeks, but, let me know if you're interested in doing this. I know according to the current rules it won't be added as a category until then.
Here's some quick math/strategy.
278,000 XP to level 25 4.2252 xp/sec while in a party in a game. Therefore before factoring anything else, 65,795 seconds (18 hours 16 minutes 35 seconds) of in-game time needed for level 25.
Time saves:
- 35 seconds for each match finished.
- 118 seconds for each match won.
- 35 seconds for end of match gold medal exp.
- 71 seconds for each consecutive match played.
- 94 seconds for backfill.
- 355 (x2 for 710) seconds for First Win of the Day.
Time lost:
- How much time it takes to find a que and finish hero select.
- Failing to do the above listed things to an acceptable degree.
Strategy:
- Always play with a friend. (+20% EXP)
- Spam QP to avoid XP penalties in other game modes and get consecutive match XP.
- Try to win as many games as possible. (Saves 2 minutes, per additional win)
- Start the 'run' at a time of day that allows for you to get 2x First Win of the Day.
I'm estimating that this probably takes somewhere between 12-16 hours of real time to complete if the above strategy is executed properly.
