Will it make some really awful players be able to skirt through without improving? Maybe. I don't think there were many people being held back to begin with, though.

It's not something I asked for or even understand why they added, but it makes something that's not really all that fun for me take less time. That's about it.
Ultimately this is the right answer. Many of these challenges aren't hard, they're just tedious. Especially the later ones where you're spamming 1111211112 the entire fight.
