Team Up Week's Rewards
Not to be the guy in the tin foil hat but every other reward besides #6 was already made and or required some form of give before the take. Having to join the FB friend finder in order to get a mystery champ/skin, as well as the icon. The icon was already made, not giving it to us would have been a waste, so regardless we were going to get it. The pool party minions were also already made, so it too would have been a waste for riot if we didn't get it so reaching that goal was no surprise either. Honestly the only REAL reward that would cost riot more to ship than to not ship was that mundo skin. And conveniently we didn't get it. To be fair, a rioter did say that the final prize was a hard one to get, and that it was not an "easy mode" challenge.
I believe that we could have achieved it, but the fact that most people wouldn't know about it statistically until at least a day or two into the event as well as the fathers day weekend that most players stopped playing to be with their families made it difficult. Riot didn't intend it to be unreachable, but i can bet that there are some people in there somewhere that are breathing a sigh of relief.
Still i ain't mad, its just business and good marketing.
It did have its pros though: the fact that we were all able to work together, inspiring teamwork across all regions (which is something that is rarely done) was excellent. There was alot of mutual gain to get from all this. However most of the permanent gain was riot's. I hope riot takes the info they gathered and puts it into making more fun events for the community like this one. I think you guys are very clever, and i am watching closely how you handle marketing within the community. Cant wait for next event... ![]()
