Before you had to defeat one elder drake once. Now it's defeat an elder/play two games. I guess it's so rare to reach late game nowadays that they had to change it XD

I was looking at that elder drake mission like "whelp, guess no free chest for me."

Yes. It was mentioned in this post: https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/general-discussion/nnRaAlp7-feel-the-burn-mission

The Rioter noticed it was too grindy to fulfill in the actual game state. So he changed It.

They're so disconnected from the reality of what they've done to the game its scary.

Yeah i believe so I did it twice for some reason I managed to do it before it changed and got a 2nd one to play 2 games or defeat elder, and yes the new elder is way to grindy have to wait nearly 30 minutes to get it to spawn cause either team needs 4 drakes now to spawn it and it won't spawn until the 4 have been defeated on either side which is dumb imo they need to change it again

if it says matchmade games i suppose if you have luck in coop vs ai it could be done, as people tend to help out with the missions, at least before the botting started happening

I like how people look at this and think "Wow, what a mission to have because of our shitty game state", instead of "Wow, what a shitty mission to have in our games." The mission was changed because Elder Dragon isn't supposed to be something that people get regularly, and is doubly bad since teams most likely to get Elder Dragon are the teams that are already winning and far ahead, meaning it's far more likely for them to end before seeing it.

It'd be no different than making a mission that says get 300 CS in a single game. Sure, it's possible for some games, but without deliberately prolonging the game to get to that amount, the chances of it happening in a single game is rare. Not because of the game state, but because of the liklihood that someone who'd have the best chance getting to 300, is already in a state of winning and could end the game before it happens.

Well technically it was doable just really slim in nearly all games tbh

They probably changed it because it encouraged people to delay already won games to get elder up lol

Lol of course they change it after I had my team drag out a ranked game where we were stomping in, now I just feel bad for the other team

I felt compelled to play vs bots to finish that one - after playing multiple games - where we never got to see the Elder Dragon.

The manager who came up with the mission didn't know it would be arduous. I don't know which is worse: the fact that a level 90 player didn't know how dragons work, or that a manager is so clueless about the company's services.

pretty much,

I think in the past month i've only seen one Elder Drake spawn They need to nerf the dragons seriously.

Game pretty much over when the first team gets soul.
