The Nexus challenge 2.0

SO YEAH.

Blizzard revamped the way to get players to play their (now better) MOBA game. Heroes of the Storm 2.0 has been released and they added Genji and D.va to the roster.
I enjoy the game and I like how this went. But some people (console peasants, they said they didn't have the money to get a decent pc but they pay for multiplayer every year) whined and forced blizzard to release the skins later on in lootboxes.
I enjoy Heroes of The Storm better than DOTA personally.
So as week 4 drops, let's recap what's happening.

FOR PLAYING GAMES WITH FRIENDS, PLAYERS GET LOOTS

It is 5 games per reward and the rewards unlock weekly on tuesdays.
The challenge ends on the 22nd.

THE WEEK 1 REWARDS
During the challenge if you played 5 games of Versus A.I., Quick match, Unranked, or Ranked, you would get the following:
In Overwatch: The Oni Genji Legendary Skin,
Oni Player Icon, and Oni Spray.

Overwatch lootHeroes of the storm Loot
In Heroes Of The Storm: The Oni Spray, Oni Genji Portrait, The Oni Banner, and All 6 color Variants of The Orichi Hovercycle Mount.

The Oni Genji Skin had been available last year as part of the original Nexus Challenge.


WEEK 2 

Players could no longer get  this through Versus A.I.

Players Recieved the Officer D.va Skin in Overwatch.
And 

In Heroes Of the Storm, Players Recieved the three color variants of the Busan Police Hovercycle Mount
Officer D.va Hovercycle mount

WEEK 3
Coming to a close (the rewards are still up for the picking)

Players Recieved:
In Overwatch, the "LAW" Player Icon as well as an Officer D.va spray.

In Heroes, The "LAW" portrait, Officer D.va spray, Officer D.va banner, And Overwatch Nexagon Floating Mount.
OBEY THE LAWNERF THE LAW
And Lastly, WEEK 4
Players will receive 10 lootboxes/chests in both games
LOOTS

This was a good way to get us to play their game

It incentivised us to play a MOBA (I like MOBAs and this one specifically because the games don't take hours)
They also released Genji to be played in HOTS
And D.va is going to be released and playable sometime soon.

Blizzard also released a cinematic short movie that starred Genji and D.va fighting DIABLO
The Hanamura Showdown
