I have no problem with things like "play 8 games" that you'll probably do anyway, but the faction specific ones are kinda tedious if you're not in the mood to play something, or you need to go queue gauntlet so you don't mess with your ranked stuff by playing something you're unfamiliar with or just don't enjoy.

I'm not entirely sure what to change them TO, if anything, but a lot of people seem to hate being asked to go play a game as [thing they don't want to play] OR [other thing they don't want to play]

Moreso when you buy a gauntlet ticket and neither faction is among the available generals.
