This hidden Calling Card mission was a bad idea. People generally don't like hidden progress. Look at the years of people asking why MMR is hidden and the popularity of third party sites that attempt to extrapolate an MMR estimate. Look at the years of people asking why Honor is hidden. Right now we have a hidden mission, presumably only available for a short time.

Requirement: Personally achieve 10* First Bloods in matchmade PvP games not including Poro King Reward: Sett's Calling Card (unconfirmed content, can't be opened until Sett's release date)

* This is rumored to be a chance occurrence for any First Blood, but guaranteed payout at 10. Whether that is true or people only started counting FB after they heard about the mission (so they actually had 10 without realizing it), I don't know. The reason I don't know is because the mission has no clarity or transparency.

Reasons this is bad:

• How are players supposed to know about this limited time mission if it's not mentioned in the client or any official documentation? People who don't actively read Reddit or the Boards aren't likely to find out about this unless they have friends who do. Literally none of the people I play with were aware until I mentioned it to them yesterday, and the mission has been live for more than a week. These people play daily.
• Since players don't even get a heads-up in client, they may not actively try to clear the mission in time. If you're going to give us a deadline for something, tell us when we can start working on it!
• Reportedly this mission ignores First Bloods scored in Legend of the Poro King. You know this will skew your data on how much people play an alternate mode, right? You've already disillusioned some players by changing it to a random champion mode, and now people have a strong incentive to avoid the game mode because they're trying to get a mission requirement. "We had less engagement on Poro King this time around, so it looks like players are tired of it."
• 10 personal First Bloods? That's extreme. If you had the perfect 5 person premade team that could pull off a First Blood every game and took turns getting that first kill, that's still fifty games. The perfect premade 5 doesn't exist, though. Realistically, getting just 5 friends 10 FBs each would take hundreds of games. On average, half of the time the other team gets FB. Chances are good that people who already have their mission clear will still accidentally (or purposefully) take First Blood.
• There's no way to track progress other than by looking up individual games in your match history (which is far easier on third party sites because the official Match History reloads from the top every time you return to the index and doesn't support opening each game in a new tab), because it's a hidden mission that never tells you it exists until you complete it.
• It gives people incentive to be greedy shits and make frustratingly bad plays. I keep seeing people dive 1v5 to attempt a low probability First Blood because they don't want to risk letting a teammate get it.

I wasn't entirely sure if this was the correct board for this, because missions are meta. They definitely affect gameplay, though. General Discussion's description sounds more non-LoL-specific. This board's explicitly LoL. While this post may sound ranty, it's sincere feedback and I'm not just venting.
