For the Champion's Path challenge, there is a goal "Receive 25% damage or more of your maximum health in a surviving battle" that pays 1 point.

I recommend not having these goals because they encourage players to get damage.

I understand that the intent is to encourage active gameplay instead of sitting back safely during a match.

This goal makes me always frantically try to damage myself as the battle nears it's end. Yes, I've fully eaten a cliff or two when I just wanted a bite. It also makes me consider not using hull patch and makes me take more risky maneuvers so that I can try to catch one or two shots.

Frequently, this leads to worse than expected damage which of course is not good for my team. If I'm playing recklessly then the outcome is more volatile.

I've seen a goal like this a while back for another challenge so I know it's not common.

Maybe it encourages players to take part in battle. So often i have players who sit in a corner and do nothing all game.
After a normal fight you are not full HP.
also there are people who dont understand that using their HP is important, they sit full HP behind a rock when they can win a flank by pushing the flank against a 1 shot tank, or take 1 shot to cover a teammate to keep him alive.

I have had to go out and try to get damaged on a lot of matches. I would just have to sit in front of the last few enemies and hope they shot me. I even turned my rear plate to them.

Then try to guess did I take 25%? 24%?

I agree that it would be better to have something else.

Perhaps something like:
Hit an enemy tank 6 times
(or other number of times)

I say hit because, bottom tier you may not be able to damage enemy tanks. But at least you can shoot your gun and try to hit a weak spot.

The Block 1000 damage should be:
Block or spot 25% of your health value.

That way lower tier tanks can still participate. Light tanks or other lightly armored tanks can also get the point.

this challenge is only hard if you're perma spamming tds

even then is it really that hard to trade with someone on a winning game?
