This is a really awesome idea and would love for this to be implemented in a future update or something. Having a lot more options for endgame would make me so happy
Plus I'm a sucker for some good puns XD
With talks about ladder going on I think that this amazing thread once again needs some attention.
Okay.
No progression = Dead on Arrival.
The number of people willing to spend a lot of time on single-player competition will be very, very small if they can't progress during it. You check out a challenge every now and then, but then get back to farming 24/7 bored out of your mind till you get a substantial upgrade to test a challenge. And it's questionable spending a lot of dev time on something that only sees a little use.
By contrast the whole point of D2 ladder / PoE races, IS nothing but progression. The resets let you experience dramatic progression again that inevitably tapers off in the eternal endgames. Sure there's some similar cosmetic reward at the end, but you push towards that reward by progressing.

Not "metal".
Nice work, a bit long and not really an infographic - more like a really long advertisement/webpage.
