How many times do we have to tell them before the devs will actually listen?
STOP. MAKING. CHALLENGES. THAT. RELY. SOLELY. ON. THE. ACTIONS. OF. THE. PLAYER'S. OPPOSITION.
I have been trying to get the "Fight Back" challenge for legitimately over 10 matches now but whatever I do, it seems that as long as I have the challenge equipped, all the killers I play against respect pallets. How is anything a challenge if it doesn't rely on your skill but instead relies on the opposing player walking into the pallet that you're going to drop?

They are called "challenges" for a reason. This is a PvP game, i.e. your opposition is always going to be opposing what you do, whatever it may be. If they are respecting your pallets, keep looping them there until they don't.

The issue is many of these challenges seem to be oblivious to how people play the game. On paper they are fine and they fit with the character, but in practice?
It's the same logical fallacy that brought us classics like 'OoO and DS are fine'

The only legit issue is people DC'ing outta spite.

The reality is I get the same challenges you do and I'm not having a problem. I expect challenges to be challenging. I'm not being snarky or making light of your irritation. Clearly you are having a problem with this one. Select a different one. Move on. Come back to it later when you are running into Killers who break your pallets. I break them all the time. They are worth points. The issue will resolve itself.
The DEV are never going to listen to you TELL them anything. You would do better just resolving your own issue.

If I go challenge hunting, I don’t care about winning or losing. I recommend a medkit that heals you a lot and just camp pallets. Killers will swing through and you’ll stun them at the cost of a health state

so you equip other things that help and yes sometimes you don't get the pallet hits.... oh well, it happens. what this does is gives you more rift shards by the time you complete the challenge.

Just get hit through pallets. Although even when I try to do that they take a solid 5 seconds to realise that I'm not dropping it and holy ######### just hit me through the pallet why are you so scared of being stunned stop worshiping these pallets

I'm convinced that the Archive team either has no clue how DBD is actually played (do they expect everyone to be all friendly and help out with challenges?) or the Archives are a testing ground.
Tome 3 level 3 had a challenge that wanted you to get two gen grabs in a single game while running Discordance. It wouldn't be so bad if grabs actually worked.
The last Tome had a challenge that needed you to escape as the Obsession, which is something that is completely up to RNG. Unsurprisingly, people didn't like that. Guess what the devs did for level 2 of this Tome? They brought it back. All of the feedback on it was just tossed out the window. The only challenges that they listened to feedback to were the get kills with NOED/get safe unhooks during EGC. I think they also looked at a couple of the hook challenges, but those were just reward errors.
Simple challenges like stunning Killers or getting Obsession kills sound good on paper, but they can easily be abused. I've had Killers start acting so scared of pallets that they'll give up a guaranteed hit just because they don't want to be stunned. I'm having to resort to locker DS to get some of these stuns, which hurts me. When I was doing the Obsession kill challenge, nearly every Survivor would refuse to stun me after seeing the first Obsession switch. I had two Survivors straight up choose death rather than stun me. In the end I had to use Moris to get this challenge done.

The title could be more specific, but I agree.

Easy = Don't pay the rift.
Money is the only real argument.

Doesn't work like that. The Rift and skins are all low cost to make. It's better for them business wise to put these in regardless of what happens, unless the game dies.

I don’t mind challenges like this as long as they’re not those “in a single match” ones.
Stunning the killer 4 times? I can throw on that challenge and I’ll get there eventually. Stunning the killer 4 times in one match? I’m either gonna have to wait for a farming killer, or just throw the match trying to get it.

I still haven't been able to complete a challenge requiring you to complete 4 gens while using some perk... In a single trial.
Even if I can get the other survivors on board (because it'd be impossible to get to four gens and finish them off before all 5 are done), the killer hardly cooperates.
That's really the only one that pisses me off. Plenty of others are a pain in the ass, and I have the same issues getting pallet stuns only on those challenges too.. or I'll survive like 5 games in a row but as soon as I put on an escape a trial challenge, I get tunneled every game, what's up with that?

You need to look up the definition of the word "challenge"

Spinning a wheel every game to see if you'd get a pallet brute forcing killer isn't challenge its just tedious.
RNG isn't challenging and realistically can never be challenging which is why its an issue.

Wouldn't work like that even if the cost to make skins is high, the archives are entirely free and whether you pay for the rift has 0 impact on the challenges, besides - this challenge is easily do-able, people have stunned a killer 3 times in tens of thousands of matches before this challenge and will continue to do so after this challenge.

Hmm I always use head on to complete these kind of challenges. At least 1 per match is guaranteed, granted that I can hide from the killer once. But this last time I got the 4 stuns in just 2 matches. The flashlight ones, however, I always skip.
I agree that those challenges are way too situational

Ngl, I'm having issues with By Any Means Necessary. I've legit dropped no pallets across about 10 games and survived every single one lmao

Camp the pallets with a stypic or insta syringe, I have used this strategy every single stun challenge and I always get it in one or two games.

Flashlight saves or just blinds, all you have to do is blind at pallet, then reblind a second later, then keep doing that, I got like 8 for a challenge in one game off of that.

Just because it is tough and can take a while doesnt mean they should change the challenge. Especially easy survivor ones.

"Unhook someone who unhooked you earlier in the match" 3 times
Actual garbage tier luck challenge, assuming you and a friend don't throw for one of you to get it.

Still easier than Last Minute Hero challenge or that stupid Dwight challenge where you had to crouch around the killer and escape. I hate challenges in general that require you not only wait till the end of the match basically (you might die earlier) but also do something difficult beforehand and then hope that you will escape. To many variables. Especially when some of your success depends on the killer or teammates.
What I do when they ask me to stun the killer several times in the match is I'm basically sacrifice myself and stand at the pallet waiting for the killer to hit me. Then repeat. Sometimes you are lucky and don't get hit. I also bring medkit with septic or syringe.
I'm waiting for "kill 5 survivors in one trial" challenge 😆

I never respect pallets as killer, but I know they do it simply because it CAN save time - though it doesn't always do that.
