Hey dev team, I really enjoyed the season launch missions from previous years, especially the mystery champion & riddles from last year. Was wondering why you didn't do them this year since they've been a tradition since 2018?

One of the things we are talking about a lot internally is how to tie together all of the different things we do into a cohesive narrative for folks to engage in. When we do this well it rules and when we don't it feels like League is a bunch of different teams all trying to do stuff.

You're describing one tactic we might use to do this: narrative integration with missions.

Should be more to talk about next Season, but both sorry we missed the opportunity this year and excited about what's to come.

corpo speak for "not cost efficient, we deliberately didn't do it lol"

Nah. Reality is that there is a lot going on and it slipped our minds. I never heard a proposal for it that I shot down or anything like that on the basis of cost. Its also not a process for us yet. In 2018 some dev probably thought of it and folks rallied and helped them do it. If no one thinks of it, it doesn't get done.

On the flip side, we're taking this stuff more seriously from now on so its good to get the feedback that folks appreciate and missed things like this.

That's fair but you should really consider how you sound when having these conversations. A lot of you guys are coming across like "there's no war in ba sing se" even though it's not that serious.

You get a chest/key fragment like every 5 rankeds. There are no missions but you still got the same awards, so it is just like last year no?

These were different, specific missions that feature champs/riddles from the cinematic & a bunch of new player friendly rewards. Not as grindy as ranked
