I'm already done with Odyssey

Feels half completed. Good ideas poorly executed. The Onslaught difficulty would be better if nobody had the stupid mission to ruin everyone's game.

I give it 1 week top before queues take more than 2 mins

Onslaught is pretty fun tbh, if not for a few bugs and (HELLISH) missions it would've been perfect.

All thing's considered, the missions aren't hard just to be hard either. The fact that you can get an Odyssey gem from the 2 Aug quest is pretty nice, and I think worth the challenge. At the same time, these missions are very appealing to those who love to Theory Craft, figuring out what builds are the best to beat it the easiest. The rest of the community, easily gets to piggyback on those theory crafters, so I think it's fair to require a fair bit of challenge in order to get such a prize.

Just my opinion though.

The flip side is that playing the Onslaught to NOT to do the missions and just have fun with a theorycrafted 5 augment build is damn near impossible since everyone and their mother is literally only there to complete missions and will act completely hostile towards anyone that refuses to comply.

We just need a separate Onslaught queue or something for people who aren't trying to get verbally abused for not trying to complete someone else's mission.

True as hell. Its so hard to find people to compensate with the missions..They need a separate Que for those mission..

I don't think it is the existence of missions that sucks the fun out of the event, it is the fact that the later missions borderline on the, to use Riot's description, insane. I wrote a longer post on the subject in this thread (https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/5WJ6rvGn-my-biggest-problem-with-the-onslaught-quests), but the tldr is Riot lost sight of the fact that missions should be fun, not rage inducing aggravation fests and needs to reprogram the later missions accordingly.

My biggest issue is the assholes you have to deal with that sabotage the game because they don't get to do a mission they want and knowing Riot, reporting them won't do shit.

onslaught is only hard on the boss, everything else is easy, makign trying to beat it extremely boring

Only thing I don't like is the absurd projectile spam possible on the even maps. Especially the second map of the run. I see more Onslaught runs fail on the second map alone than the rest of the entire run.

odd, for me it always comes down to the RNG of the 3rd map, where you either are forced to rush the end or face the ever expanding Death pulses that creep across the screen, if you luck out on that, it is a breeze from there.

IDK i love it. Still havent done the 2 augment though.

Yah Quests kill it entirety.

I'm still having fun, except when I get the Volcano thing on that narrow map. If 2 or more of those things spawn at once you can't win because you have no place to dodge the billion orbs being shot at you.

I.. gotta' agree... I've played what... 4 games?

Maybe it's because there's a lot fewer characters than Star Guardians have? Maybe it's because the maps don't look or feel atall different?

Maybe it's because I couldn't play it for two days because it bugsplat? Maybe it's because the only difficulty that deserves the adfix of 'difficult'y is the top level?

I mean I know I have to play lower difficulties to get my augmentations and stuff, so I can at LEAST pick some good ones to use but... fml it feels like grinding... IT IS... grinding.

It's think it's a great game mode in my opinion.

YuGiHoSep 17, 20181 votes

I like it. its just every lobby people are asking you for help doing missions and i already did all my missions, i just want to play the mode now and experiment with different augment combs and sometimes people make that hard to do. maybe if league had its on lfg and/or all chat system with different chat channels like Heroes of the storm does it would be different.

Odyssey is another bullshit game created from guardians of the galaxy remix while made from star guardian gamemode.

All the skins are terrible expect for ziggs

My issue is we have 3 learning level difficulties (intro, cadet and crewmember) that we never touch again and 2 end game difficulties ( captain, onslaught)

I'd rather have 2 learning difficulties and 3 end game difficulties.

Something harder than captain, but not as insane as onslaught

I also feel other the champs should have augments that can match Yasuo's in terms of power level.
