RIOT, a short message about the "5 man premade" group missions

SSShutTheDuckUp·10/2/2017, 7:16:59 PM·183 votes·6,264 views

Do not do this. Should I remind you what happened when you forced us dynamic BS? Some people prefer to play solo. Stop forcing us to play as premade groups. I get it - teams at words play as a group. We are not professionals, we are playing for fun. I play mostly solo or sometimes with a friend or two. I find no fun in gathering some random people and fight a 5 man group, who play like every week together. Looking down at solo player was a mistake you shouldn't make AGAIN

I don't understand how to complete this mission. I checked the shop but there is no friends tab, please help!

Or even better, fucking add a global chat option to coordinate this shit...and not just the forums.

I've had someone that asked for something to do his mission in ranked, I had to directly shutdown the monkey telling him that's not the right place to do that...

So much fun...

For the mission you need to :

Restrict it to SR normal draft/blind. Not force people to play X type of champ, with X runes, X masteries or X sum.
Not force premade, it's silly, many people never play in full team, either don't want to or can't.

I think you have the base covered to avoid issues with the player base with that.

Unlike the Invasion missions these missions almost have to be premade. How fun is it to get this every queue?

Random player - "hey can you pls play melee adc i need to complete this mission" ADC - "no i'm not comfortable with that" Random Player "fuck you" dodges and repeats

I mean shit the drake killing missions already make people beg and plead to go for drakes at the most inopportune times

Its too late, they already have the missions locked in. Best to just ignore them as they only give 5 tokens and aren't worth the trouble.

It's ironic when riot expects us to play with our friends, when the game itself leaves us with no time to socialize.

Look i was annoyed with star guardians pretty much all needing this 5 man stuff But of all the worlds missions ONE of them with a MINOR reward goving 5 mans the incentive to try something different is fine ij my books

Its when you miss an entire / significant portion of an event because your not premade that theres a problem

Fun fact: If they weren't releasing premade missions, they could also just as easily design missions that don't require a premade.

Except that it's not like this time around it prevents you from getting anything? It's just a couple of missions, and honestly I like the idea of challenging teams to do interesting comps. They're not forcing anyone to play in a party. Would you be fine if they implemented solo-only missions?

I spent 2 hours doing this and hated it. First group i'm just getting flamed by some toxic kid. Next group 4 man clan suggest we go into blind pick since it will be a lot easier to do the mission since people don't play serious in that mode, get kicked because some guy disagreed. Final group we get it done in blind pick becauce suprise surprise the other team isn't being serious at all. Terrible gameplay experience for a measly 5 tokens.

It's only 5 tokens, best to forget about it.

I don't think the group in charge of missions at riot has a clue. Other games have a mission features, but they are smart enough to tie it to just playing not weird behavior or depending on complete premade teams. Gotta say I feel like I wasted money again on the pass. If I cant count on being able to complete all the missions it severely restricts my rewards. Great way to turn off customers IDIOTS.

I thought the MASSIVE backlash for the second star event would have made this obvious. If this needs to be a thing, BRING BACK GLOBAL CHAT.

RavenMagus10/4/2017, 9:24:36 PM1 votes

It's not about "teams at worlds play as a group and you should too."

It's about people in solo trolling others to force them into helping with the mission.

You don't have fun gathering 5 people, but I don't have fun going into a lobby to see "PICK ONLY MELEE OR I FEED".

yes riot please do not give these mission i did the no range quest two times but after came to know its with pre made groups is it so difficult to win one game with no range it sucks

There are 168 hours in a week. I cannot play for 138 of them. (Work, Sleep, other obligations.)

I just played 7 games tonight to achieve the quests. The last 4 were dedicated to attempting to complete this quest. 130 minutes across those 4 games totals 2 hours. 4 failures.

1 day, 9 hours remains to complete this quest. That leaves me with about 6 games I can probably play. (assuming half hour length average.)

My odds are not looking good.

Melee-only requirement on a premade (basically random players I don't know, might as well be solo-que). AND THEN IT HAS TO BE A WIN.

I do not like my odds at all.

I'm not saying the quests need to be SUPER EASY. (They really don't.) However, the reliance on other people to complete MY QUESTS, is absolute bullshit.

What bothers me about requiring a premade group for some missions is Riot just reminding me I have no one to play league with myself. Coordinating a game with people I do not know is difficult. I'm a solo player merely because my RL friends don't play league anymore. So Riot basically ensured that I wouldn't be able to complete all the missions. Really bummed me out when I saw that requirement.

Lol I don't even know 4 other people that still play this garbage. Entire friends list moved on.

2 years later and this topic is still relevant. and with worse rewards now than back then.
