As mentioned by the title, when I logged in this morning, I saw a quest called "Teach a Friend" that asked me to win a bot game with a player that is level 15 or under in my party for the "Good Pals icon" and 200 blue essence.

Anyone else got this quest or know why i specifically got it.

btw- honor 4: checkpoint 3, gold 5, and level 100 if anyone is wondering.

Edit: From everyone's experiences with this quest, it appears that it is a universal quest that everyone will get. Also, there's a quest afterward that gives you a hextech chest for killing dragon and baron with a low level friend.

And so Riot tries to turn the missions into a recruiting tool. This is an indicator that League is worse off than it has been in a long time.

Why does everyone assume anything a billion dollar company does has a hidden side goal that we can't see, and then they get viewed negatively for trying to have higher level players play with lower levels to make them better. Not to mention you get free loot.

I got it too.

I have this nagging suspicion that Riot has noticed they're losing players so now they're trying to make us get more people into the game.

I saw it! Just after making friends with someone from a bot game I randomly played, too.

… But she's level 17, as of yesterday. [sg-janna]

What's a friend? Where can I get one? I haven't been level 15 since season 3 and don't know anyone that low.

Anti-cheat goes live, making it harder to load up multiple accounts on virtual machines
Mandatory email verification goes live, making it harder to create multiple accounts
No way to find low-level players within the client
Mission to duo with a low-level player goes live

This mission would've been fine as a "recruit-a-friend" system that uses the existing "mission" mechanism, but putting unique rewards in a limited-time event shifts the focus from recruitment to completing a limited-time event in the most efficient way possible. This encourages alternating smurf matches with friends or just loading a smurf account on a spare PC.

Got on my main account after finishing my funny yasuo game (I don't know how we won this) and after that I went on my 2 surf accounts and saw what this is the same quest except that I will get Annie for free

BS mission. I mean where are you going to find a level 15 player. Most of the players that are still sticking around are higher level players. I've been playing intro level missions since the mission came out hoping to find one and when I finally did my game froze. Intro level... Seriously? I don't play pvp and I've been nagging to make a ARAM pve, but being stuck on intro sucks

The free stuff is nice. Just have a friend make a smurf.

Is it ominous that after half a dozen bot games I still haven't completed this? Seems like the "new player mode" doesn't have many new players in it...although I guess Goldshire has been mostly alts for ages and the sky hasn't fallen there yet.

(Level 94, silver 5, honor 4c3, if anybody's interested in the data.)

Anyone can help me for the mission? I'm Beeyonder add me ;)

I got it a couple of days ago. Seems like it would be easy to abuse. Couldn't you just create a smurf account to get the reward?
