Popular Opinion: In 3.28 League Challenges Should Require Solo Completion

"


Giving the majority something to do doesn’t affect the minority at all, unless they feel FOMO, which is more of a personal issue about others having fun than a problem with the game itself.


FOMO is a strong drive. never underestimate the power of fomo. tho you are right it is a very "personal issue", a huge number of people are affected by fomo. the very nature of lootboxes, timed exclusive supporter packs and league content itself revolves around fomo.

if for example a player always loves collecting league challenge mtx and has been doing so every league with carries. if one league had a challenge mtx reward that is a different colour or has an additional feature if you did it solo, the player might come be salty about it. and at worse may feel that since his decade long tradition is broken, he would just ditch leagues entirely and play something else. and yes. this is a make belief person that could exist. it could be 1 person it could be many. we do not know. but the fact is, it will make players salty.

as for totem poles, i think this is one place that actually can have some exclusivity. as long as the regular totem pole can be obtained normally, i think players shouldnt mind a solo only totem pole. if anyones paying attention, previously i was against it. the reason i changed my mind is because i realized that the most important thing is that for players who care about the pole, care about the specific pole that has been following the same template for years.

ruthless actually has a similar pole but the flag area is frayed. most casual polechasers do not care for this pole variant and many wouldnt consider it breaking tradition if they skip these pole variants.

all in all, it all boils down to how does GGG make one minority happy without making the majority unhappy.

and if we take a look at history, previously hardcore and softcore leagues were separate with separate mtx rewards. many players were unhappy for the separation, which is why both are now merged.
