i really dislike how i find myself playing the game just to complete these missions (which are not fun, creative or interesting).
get 15k gold or get 5 kills in a game just means play the game normally and get rewarded, like usualy it's riot overdesigning to mask that injecting more skinner box crap into the game but cmon
i wish i could just buy these icons with ip
Well, not sure what you want.
If they were specific or required you to play a certain way people would be upset about that. "Get 6 kills in a game" would mean that people wouldn't play tanks or support. "Heal 4000 health in one match" would shoehorn people into lifesteal/healer roles.
This is how they have to be.

They'd survive. See: current dota 2 compendium quest lines. They have 3 levels of completion (which offer 3 tiers of reward), can be repeated as much as you want for the higher level, can generally be done by any character, and usually require a little effort.
I'd be like:
"In a single victory kill or assist in 10/15/20 enemy deaths" (10/20/30 coins)
Or
"Across multiple victories, do 10,000/20,000/30,000 team healing" (10/20/30 coins)
Where team healing means as long as someone on the team is healing (whether by built in abilities like Swain, lifesteal like Vamp or shit like Redemption) it counts toward your goal. Not a lot different than they are now but would require a little more than being a simple mouth breather and all require winning to count. The better you do the more coins you can get. Hell in this League event you don't even have to win most of the time. lol

Just do it like HotS
"Play 3 games as a Noxian"
"Play 3 games as a Noxian"
No, those are the worst. I don't want to be forced to play a Diablo hero to complete a quest.
They don't have to be at all...

That would be something if you had to play a Diablo hero in League..
The point is that I dislike those quests in HotS and they would be equally bad if not worse since the region distribution is not equal to the game distribution in HotS.

People tend to turn off their creativity when it's time to defend questionable Riot decisions.
Don't even.
I slam Riot in this thread all the time.
Also, how do we know the quests aren't like the ones you listed? They've been out a grand total of two days. I've already gotten a quest for earning gold. Didn't require a win.
I've gotten "get 5 kills in a game" and my girlfriend got "get 14 assists in a game" (maybe it was another number than 14, i can't remember).
I've gotten "get 15000 gold in a game", and seen I've seen a quest related to cs:ing.
They're not particularly good quests, but they're not terrible either.

They're not particularly good quests, but they're not terrible either.
Even then, I'd say some quests such as attaining a certain number of cs would help new players set a better baseline for what Riot considers "decent performance". I guess they might not be as useful for veteran players, but having a quest like "get two/three full items from your champion's recommended list" would probably help the teammates I've seen building a little bit of everything, because they'll follow the quest and end up realizing how much full items contribute to their performance compared to just filling their inventory with low-tier items.
Really, just think how much better low-tier games would be if everyone had a recurring weekly quest for "buy and place at least 2/4/6 pink wards in a game".

you're right, that's how they have to be, and by being that way, they add absolutely nothing to the game.
what i want is useless crap to not be in the game
You can literally play the game the exact way you did before the event. Nothing changed. If you don't like it, don't do it.
But nope. No one can have fun and enjoy free stuff if YOU aren't enjoying it. Damn that evil Riot!
Seriously...on a scale from 1 to Pretzel, tell us how salty you really are.

They're a way to get some free trinkets, nothing more nothing less
You read way too much into this shit
who are you?
it's an "engagement" system, same way in overwatch you feel like "i'll play one more game so i get a level up and get a chest", this is meant to compulsively make you play the game more (and spend more too)
it's of course not the end of the world but i don't like that stuff, and i don't like how they're just piling it up. i appreciated the purity of just playing league cos league is a fun game, instead of all these external motivations that are not fun or interesting in any way
it makes league look like a cheap f2p korean mmo lol
Hm I like the way you think.
You should join the discord, most of the discussion happens there now.

So am I missing it or is there no way to view the number of wins per mode? I don't want to have to end a match just to see them.
Leveled a new account, and I'm ready to return to silver after 4 years.
considering the number of high dia, masters, and challenger players we've met in those past few games, why not just go for plat 1 :^)
Dark lux even has 2 possible combinations as opposed to the single combinations for the other elements.
It's simple, really. The two elements you choose make your final element.
Fire + Nature = Magma
Fire + water = dark
Nature + wind = dark
etc.
Dark is unique in that it has two combinations; both of the "opposing" element combinations make dark.

Is there any hope of me getting the 280 chaos tokens that I need for the highest reward without buying anything? I've been grinding everything daily and I'm up to 100 but I'm worried that the event will end before I have enough.
Isn't there at least 9 or 10 days left? You should get at least 20 tokens per day so it seems very likely that you will be able to get 180 or 200 more tokens.
Oh you just get an extra thingy to click in the UI.

Your only solution is to risk deep wards like you're playing against fucking Shaco or Eve

Played an AI game and got kinda overwhelmed by all the new things since I last played.
Things I noticed:
-New Rift Herald
-New GA
-Bunch of new MR items
-Riven Q having a visual cue in how long until the 2nd and 3rd Q can be used.
What are other significant stuff that has changed?

Support items received an overhaul, and deaths dance is super good right now.

WTH?! All the sightstone upgrades are hella good now. I might main support for a time. Those changes look OP to me.
They're way better at making supports more interesting and relevant, and the support item plus sightstone combos are a great way to free up some space (since us support players are already keeping a whole item slot dedicated to control wards throughout the whole game), but they aren't OP AFAIK, not by a long shot.
I haven't really been playing LoL as of late since my teammates haven't been showing up either, but I guess I'll go back to playing daily matches (even if it's just a couple days each week) to amass some IP for buying me some champions (my alt account only has teemo and I think Maokai as well, and I really need some supports such as Thresh or Nami). I guess I might end up getting Bard on my main account because it's a pretty interesting champion, but I'll probably make my teammates rage until I eventually learn how to play it well.
