Worst Mission Ever? [Odyssey Onslaught Augments]

So I just got done playing 3 games of Odyssey Onslaught mode, where all 3 times my teammates said "2 augments or feed", and when one of our teammates started with 3 augments or more, they all afk'd and attempted to throw as fast as possible.

The last game I ended up surviving for 30 minutes with my duo partner before we finally tossed in the towel, at which point my teammates said I was going to be banned for "holding them hostage in a game"... Which seems ridiculous that intentionally throwing is what my course of action SHOULD be? Given we did just start running around at one point because we knew we weren't gonna be able to kill the next wave. It doesn't seem fair regardless that I was bound to lose that game before it even started because they didn't want to play the game mode.

Overall the experience was rather toxic-- has anyone else experienced this?

any mission that relies on getting most of if not all of the other players on your team to work towards a single mission is just bad design

Ya, who knew just shipping a game mode straight to the client would produce problems right?

Yeah, it's been a mixed bag of teams in that queue, but I managed to get the missions done.

The league community discord helped: https://discord.gg/qgeJqd I'm sure recruitment: LFG would also help.

Not gonna lie, Odyssey was the worse experience i've ever had with the game. It was fun at first, but when I got to onslaught that's when shit hit the fan. I've never seen this level of toxic in even my ranked games.

Eh, with LFG postd it wasnt that bad.

The ranked only clash prep missions were MUCH worse.

You should have just FF'd.

If 3 of your teammates do not want to continue playing the match and won't get any benefit out of playing the match, but you and your duo don't want to FF (so that the FF vote is 3/2 every time), then you ARE holding those 3 people hostage.

Just FF and requeue. Play through the match with a group of people who are ALL benefiting from the playthrough, not just you and your duo. If you want people to not be toxic, then don't be toxic back. Show the same courtesy that you would want your fellow players to show you.

I got through all the missions by offering what I wanted to do in champ select, not instalocking, and trying to find common ground with teammates. If any of us were in disagreement over who to play or how many augments, I would just say "lock and FF, start over with new group". And 95% of people would actually follow through.

It's that easy.

The other 5% were players who got salty that everything didn't work out immediately in champ select, and decided to hold me and others hostage. Kind of like what you did.

Don't be a dick.
