"Hmmm the meta right now looks like its revolving around Ardent and defending Marksmen/ADC."

"Let's throw in a mission that forces one team, premade while we're at it, to go all melee. That should be one that people will like."

Seriously. Who at Riot in charge of approving or designing this mission thought it was a good idea to let this go through?

I know Riot just recently made a dev post about missions and how this one wasn't one that worked since it's for premades, which is part of the problem, but that's not I'm angry at. What I'm angry at was them thinking that having a full melee team going up another team that has range/poke was a good idea, especially when we're pretty much in a meta where bot lane is almost the key to victory due to who can build Ardent Censor faster, who has the better ADC, or both!

Pretty much every single game I played in the last 2-in-a-half hours to just get this mission at the last moments were nothing but losses. First game: Vayne & Lulu, Second: Blitz and Mord, Third: Soraka & Twitch, Fourth: Xayah and Blitz (AGAIN!). It was only in my last game just now did we win, but not by powering through and playing. We technically won because the bot lane Xayah and Teemo didn't connect so they forfeited and that just counted towards the mission.

And you know what: I didn't feel great for getting this. Not because we didn't play for it fairly, but because of all the other hell this premade and I had to try and repeatedly go through to try and earn this only to fail each time. This was not a mission worth 5 fucking coins for! I was glad when it was given to me after everything just now but was it worth it? FUCK NO!

Now I have to look foward towards the hellish missions of dying less than 7 times, losing no more than 5 towers, everybody has TP, win after get FB First Turret and two dragons, and destroying 2 turrents within 15 seconds of one another.

Why are missions not as fun as they should be? Why do some seem like absolute hell to obtain, like the Star Guardian Missions?
