Here's why the SG Missions are Impossible

EDIT: read the comments. My understanding of the gamemode has changed thanks to CutestVoidlingNA and ooO Madoka Ooo

This is sort of a number of different frustrations regarding the Star Guardian Invasion game.

I've played three Onslaught games with 'exactly the same result'. Feel free to comment or disagree.

Everything felt fine until the 6th park. Our team was fine, but the circle started to move toward the end-of-level star. There were two void spawn-points behind us which we couldn't really reach cause the circle was moving already. We tried our hardest to burst them down but they were left with 50% health. So, we have 3-4 velkoz shooting at us from behind the entire walkway making it impossible to survive given the bullet storm many others have mentioned, and the scarners pulling us out.. oh, and the Cho'gath stomps. A huge problem is when the void, spawn outside of your visible range. And I'm talking about a KogMaw shooting at your team when his model is legit covered up by the fog of war. And no adc can hit him, and the mages even have a very difficult time reaching them, let alone killing them.

Also, during the "single little bridge with a small circle " phase, the void spawn-points are also extremely cheap. Many agree it's impossible. 5 giant chogaths, tons of Kha'zix, velkoz shootings, and lots of Kogmaws hiding in the fog-of-war outside of your view aim-botting right at you without fail. And with nowhere to run, it's this tiny little cluster **** on screen with no chance of escape or bursting everything down in time for them to shred you.

Note that I understand a Poppy, aoe dps like Jinx, and a support are necessary to beat the Onslaught semi-realistically. My problem is when you start to look at the missions. "Win a game of Onslaught with NO MARKSMAN" No.... absolutely no way that's happening. The best team you could have for that would be like Ahri Syndra Lux Poppy Soraka . Maybe that'd be doable. I highly doubt it. If there's something more practical than that, please comment so I can complete it. "Win a game of Onslaught with NO MAGES" So.. Jinx Ezreal MissFortune Poppy Soraka ? Again, let me know if there's something more optimal than that. "Win a game of Onslaught with NO UTILITY" Ahri Lux Syndra Jinx Ezreal since MF just sucks, yeah?

I think I'm convincing myself the missions are semi-doable. . . But I'm not gunna delete my post cause the majority of the player base (silver) aren't good enough to complete it.

Regardless, there are too many RNG crap traps and unfair spawn points, and then the final boss is just like.... .-. pls kil meh

Check out the Reddit3 S+ on slaught guide. It is possible, just need to do it differently than a regular PvP game.

My team that completed no mages was MF/Ez/Jinx/Soraka/Janna, and my team for no marksmen was Syndra/Ahri/Lux/Poppy/Soraka. We didn't get a chance to take a crack at no utility, although I imagine that's going to be the hardest of the three to complete.

We beat the "defend the area" one on the bridge the only time it came up, the one we couldn't beat was that same map without the circle where we had like thirty vel'koz spawn on the other side of the map from us and massacre us (which we also only saw once). The most annoying thing about the one of the circle are those vel'koz's, you have to leave the circle and hit them with something and then they'll approach to a much more killable range. I did it on Ahri, but you can do it with other champs too.

They're completely fine - all you need is a basic coordination and focus. Than you can beat it with every comp. ^^

Additionally some Champs can use differnt builsd for the No XYZ challenges:

No ADC? K play ADC-Ahri - completely fine great DMG and a Lulu and Janna to back her up. No Supp? K play Support Lux with Stoneborn and Ardent Censer First - ease pease. No Mage? Get anyone build onhit! And MF for AoE
