Support mains and Arcade Missions

Ąvalon··2 votes·595 views

Is it just me or does Riot seem to have taken a U-Turn, after claiming they wanted the support role to seem more valuable to the team by adding support measures, such as shield count on locket or self mitigated damage.

The arcade missions, one is not possible to complete unless you win 4 games with 100+CS, so how are you supposed to do that as a support. Even running a relics support, I'm averaging 60CS in a longer game. It just seems a bit harsh to supports, even more so that this is a lvl2 quest. So as a support, you not only miss the lvl2 reward but any rewards for after that.

It just seems a bit unfair, maybe they can justify it saying that the arcade skins aren't aimed at supports, but then by extension the star guardian quests should have challenges like 'shield your team for 30k dmg, [or] 2k in a game' or similar.

I don't know, this wasn't supposed to be such a big thing, just an aimless tweet that got picked up and they told me to post it here.

Even as a support main you arent locked into the position if someone goes "oh I'm a top main" they are never forced to play that role its their choice One game in another position wont kill you

There is also a quest where you need 75 assists, something that can be knocked out in 2 or 3 games if you play support. If you don't want to switch roles just play a bot game as Lux and farm up or something.

Those missions can be done in co-op though I hope that they never make the assist/cs missions available for matchmaking alone to the point that people might throw games.

I let a couple of bots live because I was expecting a teammate to finish only to find that they too are also after dem sweet assist points. Imagine if people did this in a actual match though. It prob has happened though just not to any significant extent.

Also on subject, the assists mission is generally easier to get on supports verses other roles and you can't really help that as its naturally how things go for different roles.

Thanks for the quick response there guys, I didn't realise that I could do it for co-op. Thanks for that, I'm now 20 tickets richer.
