Gotta love when Riot Designs a game mode no one can win

Illabethe··1 votes·1,300 views

Onslaught is just a reinvent of so many other game modes, that always develop in this manner;

  1. Riot offers a good reward for beating impossible odds.

  2. Riot makes the conditions for those impossible odds something that makes them even more impossible, like nerfing the amount of dimension your champion can have.

  3. Players see about 20 opportunities to exploit and troll everyone else, so no one can accomplish said mission.

Onslaught's design is horrible.

If you need Quest 4 Augment, people demand you scale back to 3 Augments or better yet ..... TWO.

If you need 3 Augment, someone's always willing to pick 5 Augments.

If you need 2 Augment, no one in your group is there yet.

If you need don't do exactly what someone else demands, They troll and afk the game.

Some are just trolling out of spite ..... queueing game after game and buying item 3070 's.

Worse yet:

-Players who have none of the quests done, are joining, taking the advice of 2-3 Augments, and can't even get past ROUND 1. Yet they talk the talk of "Yo. I'm a pro at this. Let's DO THIS"

..... lulz.

You have to play 5 Jinx, all get the right Augments (Get exited ones, flame path ulti ones, 3 ultis, etc.) and do it that way. When shit gets tough, make the monsters follow you in a circle, and kite them around. I do agree though, it is extremely hard.

It's not about hard. Read the post before you respond.

It's about people actively griefing every single game. The people wanting 2-3 Augment don't even have the quest. Many of them afk, quit game as soon as it starts, or afk the entire game, dying and ressing over and over. They are sabotaging completion.

I've done Onslaught on my second try, first try being with random and we nearly beat it (400 hp left to last Kayn), then queue'd up again with the same guys, same strat and beat it (yes with less than 3 augments, sadly I forgot I had the 4 augments quest, but still, unlocked my Ziggs skin). It's beatable, and quite easy with the first missions, haven't tried with less than 2 yet, nor 5 Ziggs / Sona, but I'm sure it's possible.

PEOPLE HAVE DONE ALL THE MISSIONS AND ITS NOT EVEN A WEEK SINCE THE EVENT WAS RELEASED. IF ANYTHING THEY MADE IT TOO EASY AND EXPLOITABLE. Look up the 5 jinx and 5 ziggs with 2 augment strats if the yasuo one wasn't easy enough for you It is laughable really

Post isn't about the VIABILITY of getting it done. It's about the fact it's impossible without a pre-organized team.

There are no 5 champ strats in random Queue. And people actively grief it. Actually read what you reply to.

If 8th of October comes and you haven't done it you can talk. They gave us a month and from not even the first week you are whining. That was my point. It is too early to deem it impossible.

Let me put it this way...... I've played well over 30 Onslaughts so far. Not a single one hasn't been a troll team or a team trying to do an Augment level they don't know how to do, resulting in game loss on the very first Phase.

I'm always the most damage, most minions killed, and I actively hunt Goldheads, etc. I even average 35-40k HEALS on JINX

But I can't do it alone. Finite Dashes due to Augment limitations, and Kayn just LOVES locking on to me. If chompers are down, I'm usually stalked by him for over 7-8 dashes, followed by the next cycle too, if I didn't die.

You might be able to accomplish it. But the probability is extremely low.
