Oh cool, ALL event missions are going to give minuscule amounts of tokens and have "passes" now

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

giving more tokens then needed to get any single part of the event for free outside of the prestige skin

2 events total working this way

good basis for bitching tbh

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.

You are getting stuff for free, stop complaining

OMG! I can only get 2 skin shards and a champ shard for free?!? I can't get the new prestige item for free?!? I mean seriously, RITO expects us to pay money to be able to get ALL of the content? WTF is up widat? I expect it all to be provided FREE FREE FREE FREE FREE. Getting a free champ shard every 10 games or so and a free box that might contain a free skin shard and events that can earn me multiple additional free skin shards and champ shards is nowhere near enough. RITO going P2W now obviously by making us buy a pass if we want to get all the content.

If I cannot even gather enough tokens for even 1 of those golden chromas I'll just never gonna bother with events again.
