The worst part about the invasion game mode.

The worst part is that almost all of us are having issues winning even one game. But riot won't even listen. They assume its meant to be hard so only high skill players should win and for the rewards we are getting you might as well not even play. However, beyond all it hurts the most not being listened to by anyone at riot. They probably won't even reply to this post because they simply don't care.

Before you argue that they do think about it for a bit and you will realize i'm completely right.

Responding to two different sentiments somewhat quickly:

  1. Re: Premade vs Solo: **In Short: As a solo player, you can get whichever of the two rewards you prefer, without ever entering a premade. **

The goal of the mission layout was to actually make you feel like you had a clear/ reasonable path to rewards as a Solo Player. That said, looks like the way they're displayed is throwing people off (You don't see the full flowchart), so that's something we'll talk about going forward

There's 6 missions total: 3 of them should require a premade (Get an S and the two team comps) and 3 don't (Beat base, Win as all 3 roles, Get an A). If one of those in the second set isn't unlocking as a solo, that's a bug: Please let me know and we'll try to sort it out as quickly as possible (There is some update lag we're seeing: Once you win the game, if your mission isn't updating, try leaving the EoG, then Close + Re-open mission tab)

Both "Sets" of missions give a total of 4 tokens. So as a solo player, completing every mission gets you one of your choice.

The 3 missions we chose required premades because for the team compositions, we wanted to avoid as much champ select tension as reasonably possible ("Hey guys don't pick ADC. Oh, you did? I'm dodging"). The S was because we didn't realistically think you could do it without being coordinated, and didn't want to set the expectation you should.

  1. re: Difficulty.

Uh... yeah :) You're right, these missions, particularly the premade ones, are hard. This is the first time we've experimented with missions like this ("Do something hard" vs "Participate with these conditionals"), so we are definitely curious how they'll go, and any feedback is appreciated. In this particular case, we wanted it to be additional goals to strive for once you have beaten the mode. The missions were made for those who really enjoy the mode and are interested in mastering it, and for them, we wanted some additional commemoration, but also just fun objectives/ "Achievements" to aim for.

So they did respond to the main problems and the TLDR of it is:

  1. both solo and premade players can earn the rewards but the way it comes off does indeed make it seem we are cataring more to premades.

  2. the missions are to hard. We did not think them through well but we know for next time. Try and enjoy the event anyway.

Still waiting on a response if they plan to hotfix thr difficulty of onslaught mode.

I think I played this game mode twice? Won them both, deemed it kinda boring and left it at that. I think we are actually on a third weekend of this game mode. So unfortunate.

Getting stuck with an even slightly non-good playing team mate can make any mission become C+, making the A rank incredibly difficult. Also why is commenting in the gameplay boards disabled nearly everywhere nowadays?

I agree. It is almost impossible to win

Based solely on the fact that lots of people have been able to beat it, it is beatable. We just have to adjust our expectations, strategies, and techniques.

I won 3 times and complete the onslaught mode solo quest (jinx, lux, lulu) And it shows all 1/1 in mission completed window. After that i got the 'A Star's Ascent' mission now.. But i got only 2 tokens total in loot box. Shouldn't it be 4 tokens?? Played all the days, was so hard to win, and now no reward. Anyone else got same problem? :/

I actually gave up on the event and I don't know if I'll ever try it again. One thing that some people forget is that we're not going to live forever so most of us don't want to waste our time.

I beat it a ton of times.... Completed all of the missions for it and helped other people complete theirs. The difficulty argument doesn't hold any weight.

or you can just fcking play it? even in that mode you have to figure out things first.

better than every mission being basically free.

This gamemode simply sucks. I don't mind the challenge. What I mind is the tediously boring replaying if you don't defeat the boss. The rewards I could care less about. They need to take this thing down and give us back our fun modes.

The prize of this modality aren't worthy of the difficulty set by the quest! Riot made a big mistake this time, they should make the mode easier or add some serious prizes!
