The Vel'Koz (shooty eyeball monsters) are too overwhelming, they chunk you for nearly 50% of your hp bar if your a damage dealer in the later levels, and they spawn in such abundance (literally, 10 at once? wtf....) and people might say, oh just dodge the shots....thats easier said then done...especially when your being pursued by the kha'zix and rek'sai
Fisher No Chains18 votesI have yet to win an invasion game because of those fuckers.
Really, then they start firing a super long ray and we're pretty much done. I think I'll need a premade group and at least 2 supports to win a single game lol

Onslaught is near impossible, once you get the river one your done for because of them, and jinx cant even build runnans to clear them quickly because its disabled in this game mode
Fisher No Chains8 votesIt's not "near impossible", it's just impossible unless you have a full tank Poppy, 2 supports and 2 damage dealers. And also some coordination, but I think Riot developed the game mode with 5 men premades in mind.
Cavesloth5 votesYeah fuck them for designing it that way, they can die in a fire.
Skins Project2 votesi mean the theme is teamwork... And it's not a bad thing to promote...
Jgfcool1 votesi hate that they disabled the runaans

They decided to spread the love unbeknownst to them not everyone gets a kick out of those games [slayer-jinx-unamused]

Garekk14 votesI wouldnt mind the mass Velkoz nearly as much if they didnt make it literally impossible to revive teammates when they're all out at once.
Someone goes down and you try to stand still to revive them and have like a 90% chance of just dying yourself because all the bolts are being aimed at you, and you cant dodge them while reviving.
Combine that with how Skarner and Reksai are chasing you around, suppressing you and knocking you up while you're trying to dodge and avoid them and there seems to be no sure-fire way to deal with it. Its fucking infuriating.
La Bello9 votesthere was this one time on the bridge where a VelKoz spawned outside of the protective bubble range.
was so fucking stupidly hard to hit.
the velkoz and the Reksai are the only real dangers in this mode and theyre annoying as fuck
Naribelle1 votesI had that happen too, we had to surrender because two vel koz spawned across the map from us and nothing could reach them, not even lux's ult
BubblyRainbows1 votesSeveral people reported that as a bug. It happens every time you get that bridge at later stages. Velkoz spawns way outside the zone and destroys you with a laser while you're stuck in a very narrow area with nowhere to run and no way to kill him.
ZuxunGold1 votesPeople go AP ezreal his W/R clears way faster than you think it does
ZuxunGold1 votesDont forget kog maws
Kharlon8 votesThe mode is complete horsecrap, having to do it on onslaught mode just pisses me off more. I can't beat this, much less complete the missions, so I get to have a full fun month of the constant reminder that I suck and won't get any rewards no matter how hard I try.
Cavesloth1 votesThis, all of this. I may have to quit league for a month till this tilting shit is gone. For sure riots not getting any of my money for the SG skins after this cluster.

you mean this thing? And I'm pretty sure there's only 1 of this spawning (excluding its other twin), maybe 2 if you use a Mechanical Eye right when you hear its statement before it spawns. I don't know what mod you got on Terraria that let you see 10 of them.

Angelita4 votesAs much as I love Star Guardians and the whole event, its just so frustrating to the point you almost don't want to play it because it's just the same scenario every time - you either get the hard stages and get defeated there or fail the big one aka defeat every time. I hope they tone it down a notch or ten because it breaks my heart to think that I waited 3 weeks being so passionate about the skins and the mode and couldn't wait to play it just to get this. Imo it should be something you would play with friends (or solo if you prefer) and have FUN, not feel stressed about playing 30 games and winning only 1 or 2 out of them.
I'm aware that I'm just be a bad player but such event shouldn't be just for those who play like pros, it feels like matching up as silvers to play against diamonds and masters in ranked. 
Drerawin2 votesYeah, I thought this game mode was going to be fun and easy, I wasn't planning on having to give it my all just to be frustrated later. I'm just ignoring this game mode now.
Angelita2 votesKinda feel like doing the same but it makes me sad that I won't be able to get the ward skin. Tbh the skin is the only thing that still drives me to play it.
ZuxunGold1 votesTry ap ezreal if you get the hang of his W E and learn the patterns of enemies its way easier than you think it is xD I was in team where I played him and got to boss stage ;) unfortunately we were outta luck because he survived with around 50 hp xD
Fondling Gems3 votesI found the trick was Poppy tanking them with MF as a damage dealer and Lulu, Soraka, and Janna providing shields. Damage isn't all that important in the mode since enemies are so squishy so MF can do it by herself. Boss levels are slow but very much doable, and redemptions keep everyone healthy.
For the Vel level have everyone stand in a line parallel to the bolts with Poppy in the front facing the majority and Either lulu or Janna in the back, with those two purposely tanking all the shots that are close to the party. Most shields should be spammed onto the support in the back with occasional ones thrown on Poppy. Part way through just drop a redemption to heal off any damage the main group has taken. When you get close to the end portal just have the highest health person run for it with a lulu speed boost on them. The moment you touch it the stage is done.
So long as you are coordinated the stage becomes quite easy, though still dangerous if the formation gets pulled apart. Unless they are important don't stop to res people, the bolts will just chunk you both down right after they res. MF dying is pretty much meaningless on that stage.
The other advantage of running a tank and 3 supports is that Kog's become pretty much meaningless due to your abundant CC, and getting pulled isn't scary when 3 shields and a redemption are immediately thrown on you.
Edit: I find Jinx to be superior to MF as your damage dealer. Janna/Poppy can optionally be replaced with a second carry (Pref MF for clutch ults to clear built up hordes) If you replace Janna your Jinx wont be quite as strong (Though she can be really scary in this if built right) while replacing Poppy makes Vel levels harder unless your whole team is on point with dodging.
Lilly Skunk1 votesYou haven't played onslaught. The worst of the creatures are unable to be killed quickly, that being rek'sai and the chogaths in a tiny, limited area with permanent knockups. Or the large chogath's on the bridge area where you're limited to a circle and they immediately remove one person from the game because they are as large as the bridge.
Also coordination requires a five man team. What kind of a league player has FRIENDS to play this with? Face it bruh. You're literally telling us it's only easy if you're a professional 5 man league team.
Fondling Gems1 votesI have about a 25% winrate in onslaught going completely solo playing a variety of champions. Currently I have yet to beat it as an ADC since that is by far my worst role but I have come very close (Got the final boss down to about 10% health) We got swamped by the number of enemies after Ahri went down and no one was able to get over to her though.
It is a hard mode but it is most certainly doable, and this is as a Gold player. Most people I queue with don't even have borders either. Rek'sais aren't tanky until very late (Or never if you have a jinx + lulu combo. As Jinx with Botrk, rapidfire, and inf edge I was killing them in roughly 3-4 seconds, cho's in about 6-7) and Cho's are pretty much irrelevant so long as you make sure to take out any rogue skarners who pull you into them.
The only map cho's are actually annoying on is when you have to stay in the circle on top of that small bridge, but only 2 of them come then and there are few other enemies so they can usually be wiped pretty quickly.
Coordination does not require 5 man teams. I have discussed strategy during the shopping breaks and acted on those strategies with 4 people I have never played with before, and I do it pretty consistently. Also while the overall mode is definitely hard that stage is easy if you go with that one tactic.
I am also going to add into my post that after more games Jinx severely outclasses MF as your damage dealer. As a bad ADC player I was outputting roughly 75% of the team's damage with Lulu + Soraka keeping me going. If there was a Janna shield on that the damage would be even higher. She also has range which is nice. Ideally a Jinx + MF + Janna/Poppy + Lulu + Soraka team seems to be the best, because MF ult is great for clutch situations where enemies get out of control. I also found that the mode is definitely beatable without a tank, though the Vel levels become much harder unless your whole team is on point with their dodging.
ZuxunGold1 votestry ap ez its kind of great choice if you know how he works
Poppystar3 votesThis game mode is possible to beat. It was on PBE for a whole month and me and my friends played and won many times. Solo queue and together. We are able to win. My best advice is to switch up your stategy, change your build, try new characters. You will win and eventually it will get easier for you to win and it will become boring. Trust me lol
Karn Bishop1 votesThey buffed the mode massively since PBE dude.
paisy3 votesI was able to beat the mode easily every time on the pbe, not sure if they raised the difficulty since then. Onslaught mode though...really needed to be toned down
Queen of Thunder2 votesAnd even IF you manage to survive teammates they spawn with one hp. I hope that's just a bug because 1hp is pathetic and useless. Am I right riot? Just a bug! ITS JUST A BUG! [slayer-jinx-unamused]
k l e e n i e3 votesThe health you come back with in the mode depends on who revives you. In the description of the game Riot said something along the lines of the SG's sacrificing some of their health to bring back their allies. More HP they have = More HP you have.
Lilly Skunk1 votesYou can also get a permenant revive loop where if you die in place immediately after reviving someone and then they die immediately, you revive eachother until everyone rage quits the game because you can't even lose the round.
SinNoAria2 votesActually, the mode itself is possible, but doing the mode while doing all those missions?
Also, worst bullet hell ever. Normally, in bullet hells, you can move freely. You can't here since there are times that your allies are blocking you.
Pertev1 votesWords of wisdom. You're damn right, bro. This is the worst bullet hell ever, ergo this gamemode is a bug itself. Report it like I did it. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]
Pertev2 votesYou know what. I would call this as a bug, when you can't even reach the last round of this star guardian game mode. Game difficulty can also be reported as a bug.
k l e e n i e1 votes;D Guess none of you are getting the "No Utility" mission complete
ZuxunGold1 votesyeah without supp its quite hard but its possible I had comp of Ezreal (ap ofc) Jinx Lux Syndra Ahri and got to the boss but we got squished by the fact that he spawns mega vel kozes and they went full shootananny with theirs lazers while the boss was rushing at us 90% of the time so we didnt had time to take em out :/
Titanium701 votesWell... it's the hardest Mission of all. That's for sure. But it is managable. ^^ Here that's how we have beaten it: GAME That's not a perfect comp or anything, but after grinding the mode for a while we had a fun time beating all those missions. =)
ZuxunGold1 votesOkay I just got a level with 30 vel kozes in one map that spawn simultaneously that was broken died in 1 min with whole team all 3 tries that is trash
Quillon1 votesI have completed "A Star's Beginning" & "A Star's Refinement" mission, but now I'm stuck on the premade group missions cause I have no friends :( Any future friends wanna complete those missions together?

All Skillzz1 votesplayed normal, got perm surpressed by skarners and dragged out into the poison like wtf. played onslaught did pretty well untill we was limited to tiny area with 100 chogaths perm knocking us up and then mega velkoz spamming her lazer of death erasing everyone on the map. like this game mode is pretty fun but its insanely hard to beat.
