Good luck getting this "easy", I have a few notes for that..
This post might look negative, but it's not, I'm actually posting this for 2 reasons:
- To save people a lot of anger/annoyance
- To make Riot aware that this mission can really use a change to avoid players being unhappy/mad/annoyed/etc..
Summary of how "easy" this mission is:
----> You fail when:
- zoe is picked away from you
- zoe gets banned
- people intentionally make you fail (sadly this happens)
- "unique"-spells RNG, yes the "unique" part of this is a real pain, if it drops 20 flashes it will still count as 1 unique spell only.
- you can do lots of games without any success
I'll try to post a solution if I figure out how to finish this mission, meanwhile gl & hf in game:
*Edit with possible solutions:
- Try a normal game and pray to riot that you can pick her (and that she's not banned), at least that game should last long enough + enemies will use spells (vs bots where they don't really)
- Team up with 2 other friends and do it in 3v3 beginner bots, each on turn takes Zoe and focus on the mission + help the zoe as much as possible (= best solution imo, also most boring one tho)
--> Are there any other possible solutions to get this done?
*Edit of how I finally did it:
- invite 4 friends that want to help you get the mission done + make sure it's blind pick so zoe can't be banned
(Be prepared to help each of those friends out as well, meaning it could potentially take you 5 full 5v5 blind games)
More details:
- 100% fail so far:
4/4 bot games failed, actually 6/6 failed because zoe was picked faster by someone else in 2 games
- I personally really dislike this champ:
I really don't like having to play Zoe so much, and because the mission keeps failing over and over this is really annoying me even more!
I'm really sorry Riot, I know a lot of people will love her because she has insane overpowered one-shots that are silly imo, but I sadly don't like her
- Keep in mind you have to play Zoe yourself
Good luck getting her in a normal game where 10 people fight to do the mission and pick her away from you, or if you aren't in the clown fiesta old "mid or feed" blind-system and go draft instead, then there are also 9 possible chances they simply ban her away because her one-shot gameplay is simply too strong..
--> Zoe gets picked away from you = fail mission that game
--> Zoe gets banned = fail mission that game
- Everyone needs the mission
Since you have to play her yourself, good luck trying to finish the mission when she's 6,300 blue essence and a lot more people own her, while I can't even do ths mission when I'm competing vs people that bought her at 7,800 BE. You will also have 1 week less time to finish the mission bye the time she's down to 6,300.
- "Unique" spells
This is insane in 3v3 AI, it's impossible even because there is always at least 1 person ruining it on purpose, yes "on purpose", by killing the balloon minions intentionally. And if RNG is nice to you to drop the same spells over and over, then it's a failed mission as well.
In my opinion the reason for this is because of how first win of the day works (20 (or 22) hour reset = ppl do it on 3v3 beginner bots. Much better would be a system where we simply have a daily reset for the first win mission, so that people would do it much more in normal games instead of 3v3 beginner bots. I still don't understand why there is a 7 minute rule for getting (IP)/EXP on that 3v3-beginner-AI-map while the real issue is the fact that a lot of not-beginners do this mode to rush the first win of the day because of how the first win system works.
How is this even good for the real new players?

Extra note on the First-Win system: Not everyone has a fixed schedule of 9 to 5 school or work, this is another reason why a daily reset is way better than a 20 hour reset, I will lose out on this next FW for sure now because I have to work tomorrow at the time it's available, and since my shifts change again after that, the delayed one won't be able to be repeated after that either and delay again. So that means losing 1 or 2 first win bonusses simply because of this system while there is nothing I can do against it.
-
I however thank Riot already for changing the FW to 20-hour reset instead of a 22-hour reset, not that it helps a lot for me personally, but I can imagine that a lot of other people will have a much easier time now keeping their daily FW at +/- the same time.
- Everything has to happen in the same game
Here is the real kicker why this mission keeps failing over and over. If the game is over, all your progress is lost.. You can be at 87.50 % completion rate (7/8) and instantly go back to 00.00 %. This is in my opinion the real reason why this mission is so very very hard. Sure all the other things are annoying as well, but if your progress would be saved, you wouldn't feel bad about this mission at all, you'd feel happy because you made progress. Sure I'd still have to play Zoe way too much to my personal taste because we would probably need to use W around 40 times and not 8 times, but at least I'd feel like I'm making progress and the mission isn't impossible. Making it "8 not-unique spells" or "4 unique spells" would be much better to be honest, but that's just my personal opinion because I don't like to play this champion and for me a progress bar wouldn't help much to make this feel more fun/positive/...
Feedback on mission "8 unique spells in the same game" for Riot:
----> Make this much easier so people don't fail over and over
----> Make this a progress mission, so people won't lose all their progress over and over
Good job by the way on fixing the bugs, that's one extra thing we really can't use on this mission. (No this is not sarcasm, it's a real thank you, and so are all the others)
