"Build X" and "Play X champion class" missions are anti-competitive and poor design

I can either choose to play ranked and ignore the missions, or focus on the missions at the cost of actually using strategy.

"Build a 3* Noble"

Sure, let me get on that. Too bad everyone going for the mission is going to be pulling from the same champion pool. Either I get eliminated early from ignoring the available champions and items to focus on a specific build, or l use all of my econ trying to reroll for a champion I need, both of which are the worst strategies in TFT. I just made it to the final 3, all at ~10hp, because I had a team of 6 Nobles. So did the other 2 players. I spent all game buying every Noble I could find (the game kept giving me shapeshifters so I had a gold Elise really early), and finished the game by selling everything on my bench to try to get the last Garen I needed. Got knocked out. Guess I'll have to try again for another hour.

The "Play X Champions of this Class" missions are bad for the same reason. You're ignoring strategy in order to put in an arbitrary requirement.

the idea theyre wanting is "Play 9 games of our shitty Blizzard ripoff until you can satisfy the mission reqs so we can pretend its still popular more than 3 weeks out."

Where's our "Get A Hexakill with Katarina, Sion, Tristana, Karthus, or Pyke" mission for Twisted Treeline, or "Get a Triple Kill in 3v3 (CoOp vs. AI allowed)" missions to get people playing TT? Surely it would

I didn't mind these missions till I found out that everybody gets the same ones. "Build a 3* Noble" could be an interesting quest but when everybody else is trying to do that same thing it turns it from a fun side objective to a frustrating bottle neck. Feels like a lack of effort to not randomize these for everyone. Considering how copy paste "Build a 3* X" "Play 12/20 of X/X" are you're telling me you can't have the system throw 50 of those missions in a bag and randomly hand everybody their allotted amount? Come on now Rito.

P.S. "Weekly missions"? Come on riot, what's wrong with you? Give us dailies like a normal game. I thought you wanted us to log on regularly.
