Riot, sneaky again....(new missions)

Anastaecia··58 votes·2,461 views

SO, if you don't buy the pass for the World's missions, the most tokens you can get is 175...enough for a Legacy Orb and ALMOST (-5) a regular ORB.

Here's where it gets really messed up. If you get ALL the tokens, you can get the 2 Ashe rewards, 2 Legacy Orbs, 1 reg Orb, and have 15 left over for 45 essence...again 5 shy of a key frag or a 3rd Legacy orb. WTF?!

i can with no problem afford the champion skin and the missions, I am interested but i don't feel this is the right way to do this. There fore I'm choosing not to support this event as I feel this would be supporting greed.Idk how bad or good the financial situation for riot is atm. I'd be one of the first to support their cosmetic pay models before, hell they even gave us hex tech which provides free skins for the freeloaders! that was really nice. But this greedy trend saddens me, first bundled missions which you had no choice but to buy the bundle, now Quest bundled chroma of a limited skin? Not cool. [zombie-nunu-tears]

I also noticed they chose to make bee keeper Singed instead of bee keeper Yorick . You'd think a bee keeper skin would fit better a summoning champ especially one that hasn't gotten a skin in a long time and would best fit as the lead of the new skin line, but at last one of these champs has a high win rate and high hopes of being played at worlds.

Beekeeper Singed (much like Dragonmaster Swain) have been fan made skin ideas for years iirc. Also, Beekeeper Yorick would not make any sense at all since what would his Ghouls be? Giant bees? How about the Maiden? An even BIGGER Queen Bee? Also the ghouls are mist WALKERS which means they crawl along the ground. If Riot were to instead make them flying bees of some sort that would easily bump the skin price to 1820 or even 3150 since that is ENTIRELY a new animation.

some bad ass skin though you gotta admit. I'd be down for it. Maiden is the queen bee that summons her workers. But yorick is evil though, how about Beelzebub Yorick ? would be the same concept but a fitting theme.

Note: I just realized that yorick is Yoooo Rick! ( I know it's from Shakespeare i'm just joking )

So wait, let me make sure I understand you.

A company is giving you some free stuff, in a free game, for completing missions in the game. And you're complaint is that you can get more stuff, in this free game, for paying money?

It's almost as if Riot made a free game, and having there players pay for more cosmetic items is there main way of making money...

It's really just abusing human mindset, people tend to go "oh i just need 5 essence, that sucks so i'll buy rp so it sucks less" and that's really dirty

Why do you think company sell items as "9.95".

Hint: it isn't out of the kindness in their hearts.

Downpricing.

It creates the impression that you're not paying as much while you're technically paying the same amount.

Ad block is free but you don't see them using that reason to make the extension ridiculously expensive. Also, you obviously were't here about s2/s3 when Riot wasn't this greedy so I don't expect you to understand.

HoTs gives way more free stuff than riot does

reaperteaser1 votes

thats because HotS has 10 million subscriptions on another game to fund everything that company does

Legacy orbs are crap, you're generally paying more for lower quality skins.

It's probably better to have quest rewards come out to having a little extra on the end that gives marginal benefit. Then if a player misses out on one or two missions they can still get the majority of their rewards instead of being screwed.

Depends, Poppy's legacy skin are kakoiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

i agree, the amount of terrible legacy skins in the game is to high, they should just invert the orbs, 80 for a legacy skin that usually cost less and have less visuals but is not available over 100 for a normal skin that might even be a legendary

don't forget you can get 5 tokens from hextechchests too now. So you buy a chest, get an icon, a skin, champion, or ward to craft and can get the orb as well.

Anastaecia4 votes

Ahh..but not until a month from now (Oct 24...prob to round out those few stragglers like you say). SO I guess that's nice, but you still have to open a chest.

wooot math. but what if we don't care about legacy orbs and are fine with the regular ones?

Likiung1 votes

I mean it's free gear either way they don't have to give you anything, and especially since the missions are just generic things you do in a game i don't see a need to complain. This is the first pass i bought just to get the exclusive ward skin but i have not thought for any of the other missions "man riot is really scamming me" At the end of the day they still are for profit and giving you free stuff.

They don't expect everyone to complete every mission. Rather, they want to make sure people get decent rewards for completing the portion of the missions that they have time for/enjoy the most, without pushing people to do every single mission to get that one last Orb.

Gentleflamingo1 votes

The worse part is that you have to pay for some of the missions. It's insane that they don't have all of the missions for free.

They learned from mistakes of previous events. The Arcade one gave exactly enough tokens to buy one smaller and one medium orbs with not leftover tokens.

Sarutobi1 votes

I mean did you expect anything else? Of course they are going to do it when loads of people are buying these. Then the fact there are putting Limited Edition content doesn't help and basically entices people more to buy it to try and get it before its gone.

ZapMyHeart1 votes

Can't you just get 2 regular Orbs? The legacy vault may have some decent skins, but it also have some not so great ones.
