Keep in mind, unlike previous Heroes of the Storm events, quests beyond week 1 cannot be completed in Versus AI.

This event is definitely pushing new players to try structured gameplay this time around. Last time, Overwatch players rushed through the Nexus Challenge entirely through Versus AI on the lowest possibility difficulty, never really seeing what Heroes of the Storm had to offer. It’s unfortunate, but understandable, that Heroes would actually want people to see more of the game this time around.
