Missions were a lot funner when you didn't have to buy them.

At least with fortnite it lasts a lot lot longer and you get some GUARANTEED items,not this cancerous shitty gamble shit.

Game still gives you tokens for free for doing mission, alternatively you can buy the ability to have them drop at the end of matches as well.

Not that I agree with the model, but at least it's not completely locked.

Not to mention that nexus blitz is basically copying other popular games. Battle royale mode? PUBG and Fortnite. Push the cart? Basically payload from TF2 or Overwatch. The concept of a MOBA with little events every so often? Heroes of the Storm.

I don't have any problem with fun concepts from other games being integrated into league. Especially packed in these short-term minigames, it helps change up the pace and gives you a chance to do something with champions outside of farming and laning. Sure, you could try to change it up - maybe having a "tag" mode where you're 'it' until you auto an enemy - but I'm sure that comes with time. I wouldn't mind seeing the same mode, Nexus Blitz, but with more and more mini-games added to it in the future. summoner 32

And hopefully riot will make Blitz last longer if they add more mini games. They could have it where towers are immune or something for most mini games while ones that do use towers are “copied” and when they are destroyed in the mini game, they get replaced with the original tower with the health it had before the mini game started.

I hope they add turret plating to blitz, i want games to last longer it's so much fun.

the point of nexus blitz is that the games are short though

I LOVE quests, it feels fun to chase something that runs seamlessly with the plot. Kind of like when you get The Hunt started Rengar

I'm glad you still get icons, tokens, and other rewards for free with each mission that pops up, but I understand where you're coming from. When you buy a pass, you're not buying missions, you're buying bonus tokens to capitalize on skins and chromas that are monetized either way. [sg-lulu]

Yeah except Fortnite has 100 ( I think) tiers of cool to fucking awesome items to get culminating in a rare skin at the end which is wholly unique from what I've seen. Riot's charging the same amount for a similar grind which gets you 1 skin, and maybe some emotes, icons, or shit random skins from boxes if you have the extra tokens. It's absurd.

I understand your frustration, but you can't buy missions. Lol. They made they mistake with the versus event and learned quickly that that was a bad idea.

Battle Pass is a decent model, especially for free games, if they give you progressive rewards for both paying and non-paying customers. Don't know Bout Fortnite, but the Paladins battle passes have all had decent rewards for those who chose not to pay and phenomenal rewards for those who did.

With League, you aren't rewarded enough. You get a lootbox or two for trying to complete it.

StarGuardianWeeb3 votes

fortnite basically influenced every game with F2P gameplay and pay content: lock your loot behind magical barriers (Be it chest/key system, gemstones, passes, etc.) and dangle the "limited time exclusivity" in front of them. Throw in a dash of "oh hey this is popular lets make a BETTER one now" as well as making any in game currency practically useless unless you've been playing5ever and voila, humble indie company.

Honestly the gameplay aside if anythings gonna get me to say fuck you to league its hands down this shit.

Would honestly rather have the passes be on larger events, like VS or lore events, than little ones that are supposed to be just be fun like Snowdown.

Red Thought2 votes

Idk about you guys but 20$ for generic missions seems like a "steal" to me. The missions are mildly amusing, but not worth goofy amounts of money. I buy skins here and there to support game but sometimes they just ask too much.....

Blazehhh1 votes

Well it's not just more missions, it's unlimited Snowdown Tokens for playing games

Red Thought2 votes

Don't forget that Riot is a Chinese owned company.... Who have seemed rather hostile to the west in the last decade or so..

WoodenCreature2 votes

Something has to make them profit since the base game is free and paying for just customizations is good. Why u get so upset. Be glad that there aren't any pay to win elements in the shop like some other games. I never bought RP and i'm completely fine with not having skins + Riot are good enough to give chests and keys for free. It's perfect balance between paying and not spending a single penny. Games aren't free to maintain they have to make money somehow. Now that the battle pass forces u to spam tons of game for maximum reward is kinda bad and harsh but they'll learn eventually.

Cheini2 votes

er guys what's the problem?..

like, the free tokens are as much as before (or more), and the pass does not give additional missions - but only tokens... which, you can either use for chests, or for a specific skin (if you like it)..

now, i am completely against the mere 3 weeks since kda kai & the token grind so close to prev one.. moreover, around the Christmas holidays. But.. missions are the same, in fact it is a bit better you can't just yolo bot through them again..


and to the genious having a problem with the events existing in other games, well.. league as a whole is the same kek (bur)

As lame as it is to see a bunch of token-purchased items you can't get, the amount of free rewards you get hasn't changed. Every event before this pass thing typically only gave enough missions to get an orb of some kind on top of a free orb and skin/ward shard. and the rest you'd have to spend RP to go ahead and buy event orbs/tokens. The only difference now is that you know you could have even more event stuff with the pass.

Missions were better when one of them didn't include having to watch fucking ESport$.

THIS! So much this! That was the stupidest mission of all!

Blazehhh1 votes

Why you mad about it? First of all you can just play the videos in the background of what your doing, or while you're not on the computer, and second of all, you do those missions specifically for an Esports icon and emote. If you dislike Esports, just don't do it.

As a side note I think the All Star games are actually worth the watch, it's quite funny seeing pros do 1v1s and urf

So there is one thing I like about Fortnite's Battlepass that I wish other games who try it would use too.

It is renewable/pays for itself.

Sure, you need to put in an initial investment; but you can earn enough Vbucks to buy the next seasons Battlepass. I had the Pass for 2 extra seasons because of this and have the Vbucks available for a season if I decide to play again (unless price went up).

"But Pandaa, you get all these nifty rewards completeing these misisons."

Not really though, you can get some guaranteed chromas, wards, icons, and borders sure. To my understanding though, the Prestige skins are chromas to the KD/A; which means if it doesn't give the skin with the chroma, one still has to buy it. am now told it is its own skin.

Infernape1 votes

The prestige skin is a separate skin. You don't need the original to own it.

Imperial Pandaa1 votes

Another thing is it lasts all season and doesn't cost $15. The paid events last a few weeks and cost $15 where as Fortnite is 5 or 10 and lasts all season.

As I said, I wouldn't mind that if I could earn the RP back like i can the Vbucks.

Dont blame them. Player count dropping, their revenue as well so they have to find another way how to pay their overpaid management

If they didn't fuck over the majority of the community on a regular basis none of that would happen.

I'm always glad when a mission pops up which is actually do-able in ARAM. All ward or drake or farm missions are impossible anyway, and many damage or kills missions are restricted...

Sweet an Sour1 votes

I would like to agree, i don't make enough tokens to get things I like even on the cheaper side without buying. [sg-ahri-1]
