So, as you may have noticed there has been the hidden mission to receive a Calling Card from Sett, which you got by getting a random First Blood OR after 10 First Blood (Source).

Since then, a lot of people grinded the mission and we had little official information besides the deadline when the mission would be over. Riot was so kind and told us that the mission official ends on 10th January at 4 am of your local server time (Source).

With that information I managed to grind my last First Blood just before the mission was supposed to be over, the last one shortly after 8pm CET yesterday, the 9th January (Link to the game)

But after the 10 First Blood I got nothing. I counted, it wasn’t a mistake from my side. Well, we all know that Riot isn’t known to be bug free, so I messaged the Riot Support to help me out and add the reward manually in my loot.

Then I got my answer.

Greetings [redacted]!

I checked your account and it seems that you couldn’t finish the hidden Sett mission on time, I’m sorry :/

It seems the last 9 and 10 games you played happen during the time the mission was already over :c

Yours sincerely,

I was confused. My 9th game was around 10:30 pm on Wednesday, the 8th of January, which still is in the given timeframe from the announcement from Sett mains (Link to the game).

Since I didn’t like the answer, I sent them the Reddit thread. A little bit later I got another message.

Hey [redacted]!

This was a mistake from our side while writing the patch-news. Somehow it was announced, that it would be until 4 o’clock, I’m sorry. Sadly, I’m not able to give you the reward for the mission, but as small apology I gifted you a Hextech chest and key!

Again, sorry for the confusion :/

Yours sincerely,

I’m honest, I’m beyond pissed. I spent the whole Wednesday to grind all the First Bloods I was missing because I was not able to do it before (stress before Christmas + 2 weeks travel) and now I’m not able to get the reward even when I did fulfill the mission before the OFFICAL deadline.

The biggest joke is that I KNOW the Riot Support has the tools to add stuff to the Loot. It can’t be that my work is wasted because of an error on THEIR side. I didn’t understand misunderstood anything, they didn’t get the right information. Especially since I know the mission worked on the other server fine until the actual given deadline.

Yup, if we get wind of any other players affected by this, would love to help them out! We think this may be an error, misunderstanding, or glitch with the recorded games themselves. Right now, just trying to find out how this happened and making sure we remedy it if possible!
