Today the invasion gamemode was released but I have one concern about the rewards. The rewards are 4 tokens and there are only 4 missions, 2 of each that you're forced to play with a premade group of 5.
As a guy with no friends to play invasion I really want the new ward but I do not have any friends to play the premade missions.
What should I do? I really want the new ward.
I appreciate any solution.
Aikeko43 votesWorst missions EVER.
ModCaptainMårvelous2 votesSomeone doesn't remember the Burning Tide missions.
"Kill 1500 minions in BMB" or some shit. Good god.
Mysticman8911 votesCould at least grind that out.
Stratavotis4 votesit's true... at the worst that was a "just keep playing" since it was cumulative.
This one however... is completely based on being successful at the randomized gauntlet. If there were different quests added like "block X amount of damage with shields from Lux, Janna or Lulu" or "cast X amount of spells with "Mages" " or even the simple "defeat X amount of named enemies (champion clones) with marksmen (a but tougher to lable miss fortune/ezreal this way since they both have respectable mage builds)" (poppy could count as a fighter/marksman for that I guess)
you wouldn't HAVE to be victorious... it's a Quota related quest then.
Riachy1 votesWorst missions EVER.
worst because not everyone can complete them?
thats one of the best parts about it if you ask me
LiteUpSketchers2 votesThe issue is that it's not the game, it's getting 5 random people together to play the god damn game.

so all you fellas complaining about this cant group as 5? every game i join as a non-5-man premade needs people for a premade (funny how that works) then after wards we just play as 5 or we decided to ff immediately and start a new game as a premade. problem solved.
LiteUpSketchers1 votesI have 3 friends that play league, 1 is active and 2 are semi-active.
All of my other friends are too sweating their way out of Bronze to play a rotating gamemode with me.
Dextix LT1 votesSo the problem is not the mission it is you/your friends.

did you even read what I said?
let me rephrase it... what's so hard about joining up with random people and inviting them to your game to make a premade of 5?
LiteUpSketchers1 votesPeople don't wanna grind
Riachy1 voteswrong.
Power Mac1 votesdid you even read what I said?

The fact that people do not always accept invites, nor they are always willing to play. As a matter of fact, I've been deleting tons of people recently because they've never accepted any game mode for months. Besides, despite having a crowded friends list, it seems like, at least on EUW serves, they already started disliking Invasion. The first day I played almost all day with friends, now I hardly find anybody. Not even the people who posted in the European Recruitment forums, which I keep adding to my friends list, do reply to game invites! The problem of gaining rewards doesn't depend on Invasion's inherent difficulty (I already won 3 matches out of 30 circa: it's a good score, isn't it?): the actual problem is that people is already fed up.
SkZ DoPe1 votesI played every Dark Souls atleast 3 times to the end with all bosses but these missions are nearly impossible
Dextix LT1 votesExcept they are possible, just like in Dark souls you are given time to learn, just like in Dark souls you are given time to prepare, and just like in dark souls if you make mistakes, YOU DIE.
Only one thing can be carried from darksouls to this game properly now.
GIT GUD!
Mysticman897 votesIt's possible there will be more missions released later, or complete the non-premade one will unlock another.
Having only 2 potential rewards, each which requires 100% completion of missions, 2 of which require premades and one which is explicitly labeled hard, seems kinda unreasonable.
Mysticman8915 votesOk so more info on the event is out, and theres 6 missions total.
That said, 4 of them require a premade, so I guess people without 4 competent friends are out of luck.
edit: Actually it seems I was mistaken, and only 3 of the 6 require a premade. Not sure if the description was editted or if I just goofed, but it looks like getting 4 tokens is theoretically possible as a solo.
Aikeko6 votesIm dissapointed......
Mysticman893 votesApparrently the 'hard' missions (of which there are 2) give 2 tokens each, so 8 tokens up for grabs in total. Still no way to get even 4 of them as a solo though, so that's pretty lame.
Aikeko6 votesThis mode is almost impossible anyways.......
Mysticman891 votesEh, it's like hour 1 of day 1. I got to the boss with 4 randoms during my first attempt on onslaught, so I'm pretty confident once people have strategies and builds figured out things will be beatable, perhaps even reliably so.
Not that it does any good for solo players.

Yeah, but that's also when Riot will start nerfing any good strategies. Remember Brand on the last incarnation of Doom Bots?
Supreme Senpai691 votesNot to rub it in, but I just beat it with a group of randoms first try. We wiped twice in total, you get 3 tries per round. If it helps, our comp was:
Syndra Soraka Miss Fortune Ahri Lux
So we had a support, an ADC, and three mages. I'm pretty sure you need at least one support and one ADC. Maybe your team comp is the issue?
Mysticman891 votesSure, the completely OP stuff got nerfed (brand, sion/karthus passive), but by the end of the first round of doom bots I could pretty reliably handle the teemoing at 100 difficulty, and the majority of the same strategies worked almost as effectively the second time it came around. (My role in doom bot land being a Q max AP janna for example.)
Here theres only so many champions, and also people have predetermined amounts of gold. People will eventually have optimised build paths and guides so it's like "round 1: buy X, Y, Z on MF, A, B, C on janna, etc., Round 2 buy..." level of specificity.
It may be that some weirder builds are actually best, so stuff like AP MF or AP ezreal, or on-hit lulu or various other less conventional uses of the champs come out ahead. It's just a matter of people figuring out what works best.
Mysticman891 votesAs it turns out, on-hit builds ft. rageblade are turning out to be pretty effective, particularly due to the synergy with ardent.
Time will tell if theres even more potent builds, but naively trying to build the same as on rift doesn't seem like the best use of the gold budget.
Jeddy01717 votesThat's just......Can we not do premade base missions Riot, especially 5 man? If we have to have premade missions, make them the minority & make them duo based or have a duo minimum.
Dream High5 votesIt's not even worth. 1 champ shard or a ward Icon.
flibitydoo1 votesactually it's a random champion
permanent.
you get to unlock some random champ.
Quepha1 votesWhat if it rolls a 450 champ you already own, like a Warwick or something?
flibitydoo1 votesI think the roll is like if you were to scramble 3 champion shards to get a random champion permanent
aka it will only give you a champion you don't own.
if you own all champions it will give you a random champ you own.
Quepha1 votesNowhere does it say it guarantees a champion you don't own and the icon looks similar to the mystery champ shards you can buy in the shop which can give you shards for champions you already own.
Velzard of Koz4 votesYeah I also would like to know If there are some missions beyond it because I am not doing the premade ones, so I want to know If there is even a point in doing the one non-premade.
disnoca4 votesBump, If by tomorrow nothing has changed I will try and talk to riot
ModAttysu The Poro3 votesHey Disnoca! I get your frustration and worry, but there are many ways to gain friends/help to finish these events while getting a few new social pals out of it! I'd recommend you head to the Player Recruitment sub-board to find a few discords, teams, or even other people simply looking to create a premade for Invasion!
Good luck on the rift!
(PS If you wanna add me you can, I don't play TOO much recently due to being busy IRL, but if I'm on I would love to play a premade with you!)

that is for america only. People that play in other server where the forums are dead can't access this
Riachy2 votesthat is for america only. People that play in other server where the forums are dead can't access this
add people after the game who also want this mission because if you're playing solo and you're in a game you're with other people who also need a premade group of 5
DeadUnborn1 votesadd people after the game who also want this mission because if you're playing solo and you're in a game you're with other people who also need a premade group of 5
In lan that is not really a good option. Because there are so few players left and I have high mmr for the server usually the people I play with in "fun" modes are usually very inexperienced or already in a premade of 4. Thanks anyhow
Riachy1 votesOkay, now i know you're just making excuses because they cant be a full premade if you're in the game with them... (im assuming you mean a full group when you say "premade of 4" unless by saying "premade of 4" you mean exactly what you say and they are a total of 4... then I'm completely confused what's the problem... because they still need one more)
You need to be a group of 5. There's a ton of people who want to complete the missions too and if they are matching in queue with you, a solo player, they are not able to get the mission. So, if you're as good as you say you are, I guarantee they want you to join them.
Cheers!
disnoca2 votesOk, ty all guys for your info. It's disappointing not having the chance to get a reward :(
LucidCarry2 votesNope, not going to be possible for solo players like myself, and I don't see them adding any new missions as they haven't the past few events.
Synnx72 votesJust a failure, like always, from riot part. Just play it for fun if you want, you'll never be able to complete it tho, on onslaught. I always lose on last stage because of that bullshit fest. At least if the IP you would get from that shit were more than 20 IP AND why all the struggle to complete them? for a dumb icon and a random champion shard permanent? Rofl
Lmaoecksdee2 votesI don't get it. Every time, someone complaining, you just tell them to "get gud" and won't understand other people's situation. Please stop making fun of people that can't do this mission.[slayer-jinx-catface]
Skorch1 votesThere are 6 total missions, the last 2 reward 2 tokens. 3 are for premades, 3 are for solos.
This means that if you do all the solo missions you will get at leas enough for 1 reward.
Dextix LT1 votesCome on, dont bring in facts mate! WE NEED TO RIOT AGAINST RIOT!
RIOT BOARDS RIOT!!!!!!
Ikillsteal1 votesGuys Just in general, some times a man needs to ask himself. Is invasion really worth any type of reward? Have you guys even played it havnt won a single game yet js it isn't worth any type of reward at this point.

Athenes Lulu1 votesA single ward skin and maybe an icon doesn't seem that impressive given how vastly difficult the missions are.
Synnx71 votesAnd i think the reward is just the fact that you're trying those skins actually for free. Which all mobas have a fucking sandbox mode where u can try those anyway. Riot never fails to surprise me
xanax50mg1 votesthat's exactly one of the reasons why we need a global chat channel like a general chat channel where you can meet new people and make friends with them instead of going into game and begging ppl to group up with you in order to complete the missions
Bärd Bärd1 votesOk Y'all. I'm about to drop some wisdom on your asses, after having the same dilemma (no friends on LoL).
Get on the official /r/LeagueOfLegends discord. There is a LFG channel for Invasion. When I found it, I banged out all the missions over the course of 2 days. They're actually a lot of fun once you can FIND 5 PEOPLE TO PLAY WITH. That's where the discord comes in.
Here's the discord link: https://discord.gg/cy3Y7wm
