Odyssey: Extraction and Star Guardian Invasion need to come back

These two modes were the most interesting things Riot has ever made. There was so much creative mechanics in the modes. The missions, although frustrating to get into a party to do something, felt rewarding once you finally finished them. The rewards felt exclusive and nice to have.

Both of these modes were by far my favorite. The missions kind of ruined the ability to play Odyssey casually though. Everyone would surrender if you did not use 2 Augs or less.

If they bring back Space Odyssey, the missions don't need to restrict Augs so you can actually have fun with them. PvE modes are by far my favorite.

Hopefully if they do make more missions for PvE content huge amounts of them open up at once and they don't involve your teammates (unless it specifies premade lobby in the mission.

Annoying when people are punished for doing different stuff w/o signing up for it/are all on different (sometimes mutually exclusive) pages.

Honestly, it kinda made sense the missions were team based, considering Odyssey was literally about Yasuo's crew fighting Kayn to prevent him from taking over the galaxy(?). To me it just feels like it would've been silly to make the missions just for solo players since the event was based on an actual team working as a team.

And unless I got super lucky, a lot of people were willing to either use a certain number of augs OR were understanding that someone wasn't at that mission/didn't want to do the mission and would play the game through without wanting to surrender. And I played quite a few Odyssey matches solo.

Though I can agree having to use only a certain number of augs was annoying.

The soulution was always simple,just make the missions say everybody on your premade team,so if you have 2 player all need 2 auguments,but if you are solo only you need 2 auguments

I was that one guy who sat through multiple dodges after completing them saying "Nah I'm using 5 augments for fun so I can try all the setups deal with it".

I never got to try out full augs because the event ended just after I unlocked the last one. I loved building AP Jinx and having E be godlike. So many little traps hopping around...

In my opinion, the thing about the missions that made them frustrating was that they required everyone to use less augments, not just the player trying to complete the quest. The mode degenerated into one or two people who had not completed them asking everyone else to handicap themselves for no gain. Personally, I gave up asking after a few games because it felt borderline trollish to keep asking other people to use two augments just for me.

can we please JUST HAVE MORE PVE CONTENT? I feel like stress levels would go down quite a bit if we had a FUN mode that isn't aram, and that isn't us at each others throats all the time.

It's just that Aram is like the only fun mode they have. Since they got rid of Dominion and didn't leave Nexus blitz.

And I know Aram can be a bit tilting at times, at least for me lol

Riot decision to lessen rgm dull things alot. There's nothing to look forward to when they release a patch, on weekends it's when most ppl are off, it's the same Sr, they probably played one or more times a week. And everyone already complain how much pain it is, there's no mode where you can just sit down and ridiculously have fun.

Since they have such a small amount of champions available (Invasion only lets you play ones who have the skin, for example; Extraction has only five playable characters), I think they'd be great choices for the old style of RGM, since they'd take less intensive balance than the others.

If they do it they need to add like more bosses or maybe special little events that happen to spice up the game a bit so it doesn't feel the same. Odyssey became mega easy after everyone learned what monster did what and what kayne's moves did

Yasuo existed in a state I didn't hate for the duration of extraction.

He works perfectly as a PVE character.

You must've missed all the Vel'Koz clones and SA Kayn's complaining about his broken windwall ability.

I gotta say, League is alot more fun when it's PVE

There needs to be a PvE mode that's always up, not just some event

PROJECT Game mode needs to come back as well.

I miss that so much.

Nexus Blitz needs to come back too.

I feel like you either weren't here for the Star Guardian event or didn't play it.

Try having a very tiny circle to fight in, and trying to fight off a ton of Cho'Gath's.

yeah I wasn't here

The Technology just isnt there yet! We need to wait for the new Client so we can all implement many other new features and better performance overall....Oh wait we are already using the new client?

Oh shit...

Riot is a super lazy anda very slow company that rarely listens to feedback. Just look at the Pratice Tool, Replay and compare it to other games...We are so outdated and the new things we have are so extremely basic compared to other games, that it just makes League feel cheap and Riot only caring for money while doing the minimun.

Ugh no. I hate the PVE modes so much. This is a PvP game. If they bring those back I wish they would also at least give us Ascension at the same time for those who want to PvP.

Icy Hot Shoto2 votes

If they bring back one pve game mode even for just a weekend, you still have Summoners Rift and ARAMS for pvp. That's two game modes compared to the one pve game mode. There's no reason to bring back another pvp game mode at the same time.

Except many of us want Riot to go back to the weekend rotating pvp games modes. These modes took away from that.

Icy Hot Shoto1 votes

Everyone wants Riot to bring back the Rotating Game Modes, as it had basically the chance for EVERY mode to happen at some point. Heck, a Rioter had said they would more than likely have had the SG event at some point. It was Rotating Game Modes. Not Rotating PVP Modes.

I wish they just put all "mods" on rotation and i dont understand why they completely ignore this part of game. Just let them roll, slap warning screen that mod is not maitnaned and balanced so use on own discretion, this is bare minimum that riot can do or dedicate someone to if not fine tuning to at least despensing "band aids" if something is utterly broken.

If you guys didn't know, a Rioter made a poll about the modes we wanted to see again (including nexus blitz) for a bit of information. While it was kinda skewed by the multiple vote, it included all of the PvE mode and the category was kinda high (under nexus blitz, dominion and possibly urf I believe).

rotating gamemodes got exchanged for clash. which never worked and didnt return in ages. so neither will rotating gamemodes

I love Mission: Odyssey, but before they return it, they seriously need to fix the Audios in it. I'm not playing another round hearing nothing but Yasuo's loud grunts.

wolvius1 votes

Odyssey was a blast but playing the 2 aug mission for others when you'll only get the 4 aug for it sucked,......especially when a lot of people didn't understand that "Kayns patience is wearing thin" was a warning to hurry the F up. ######well at least I got the icon on my alt. The augments system was great I hope they use that for future events, on-hit zigg healer and dulldozer malp were great fun.

Also BRING BACK RGM's, IM SUCCUMBING TO VOID CORRUPTION AT THE ABYSS

Anything that increases the likelihood of more anime inspired skins makes me happy so you've got my vote.

Those are my two most favorite events league has put out but rather having them bring those back I'd like a concept similar that allows us to go PvE and offer cool features like the odyssey rune pages. Truly amazing gamemode/events hope to see another event as powerful.

These two modes were the most _boring _ things Riot has ever made.

ftfy

Odyssey just became a fight in champ select between people getting missions, it was a nightmare. I hated that you had a choice between 5 champs, none of which I enjoy playing personally. PvE is just boring in general though. I don't even remember anything engaging in the star guardians gamemode so I can't really get into the specifics about that.

I'm not saying don't bring them back because tons of people enjoyed them, I'm just saying please don't attach missions to them so I don't have to play them, because I, myself, did not. At all.

you must've always lost said fights. we would figure out who wanted to do what, surrender, then regroup with mics and try to get more people who wanted to do the same quest. i found it rather fun grouping up with 4 other people and using mics to try and beat different quest. i miss it greatly, so i must say good sir, i respectfully disagree.

Why necro a discussion from 5 months ago?

...Anyway, to me it got stale after a handful of games. After that it became just about the missions, and trying to cooperate with 5 randoms that all have their own agenda made champ select the breeding grounds for toxicity. The missions which forced you to rely on other players to play a specific champion shouldn't have existed imo, that's what led to the severe amount of toxicity I saw.

you must've always lost said fights.

I wasn't the one fighting, I was a lot of disagreements in my champ selects, a lot of dodges and a lot of 4 mans that tried to strongarm me into playing a certain champion for their missions. That gamemode had the most toxic champ select I've ever seen. Good on you for finding peeps who would help do missions with you, our experiences with that mode were very different.

Anyway it just wasn't my kind of gamemode, there was just a lot of things I didn't like about it, and that's fine, nothings for everybody. Hope it comes back for your sake.
