Degenerate company
Remember when missions would give you just enough tokens for the highest reward OR about 3-5 orbs?
Not anymore, apparently. ONE snowdown mission with the rest of the tokens being from a """season event pass.""" What an actual fucking joke
Shit, orbs don't even exist anymore. We just get masterwork chests for double the tokens or a fucking champion shard for the same amount as an orb was before
With fewer tokens given
Let's unpack this. Events in the past had a "highest reward" of a border with an icon. There was once a Chroma though World's 2017. That was as high as it got. This World's, and this event, the highest reward is a SKIN. That's new, and it's understandable that simply doing the regular missions wouldn't net you enough for that.
And if you've bothered to keep yourself updated, there are NEW MISSIONS DAILY. This means EVERY DAY THERE WILL BE A MISSION FOR TOKENS. So you can get 325 tokens total for not buying a pass - this is enough for 2 of the masterwork chests and the icon.
Masterwork chests, BTW, DO NOT HAVE CHAMPION SHARDS IN THEM. And if you want to compare, a World's Orb was 300 tokens. You got a skin shard in one. For the same quantity of tokens this time, you get 2 skin shards.
And the tokens given ARE NOT FEWER this event. You get 10 tokens for winning Rift, 5 for a loss. 6 for winning ARAM or Nexus Blitz, 3 for a loss. For comparison, the last even you got baseline 6 tokens for winning Rift, 3 for a loss, and then 4-8 based on your grade. If you won an ARAM, you got 3 tokens, 1 for a loss, and like 1-3 for the grade. There is a HELLUVA lot more consistency for getting tokens this event, and you actually don't get shit out of luck playing non-Rift modes.
