Post Maintenance Freeze caused me to Lose Kymar
I am sick to my stomach. I am on EST timezone and the tournament ended at 4:40AM my time. I hung back from my opponent in first place with the plan of pulling several legendary champions out of my summoning portal right before the end of the tournament. I set an alarm for 4:29AM, woke up, logged in and immediately got a message that server maintenance was about to start. I immediately tried to start pulling my fragment champs and was kicked out.
I furiously tried to log in over and over again. server maintenance ended and I was able to get back into the game with one minute and 20 seconds left in the tournament. I started pulling immediately. I pulled five or six fragment legendaries from the portal and after clicking on the VERY LAST champion that would've won me the tournament, the game froze on the screen that shows them "cracking" through their statue casing.
I was freaking out because it was just stuck there. no points came up, the champions animation never played, it just froze. I forced closed, came back into the champ and immediately pulled another fragment legendary from the portal to try and ensure the win. But it didnt register any points for my first pull that froze and the next pull after logging in must have been happening at the exact same time i pulled the last champion.
So, I threw away 130 Voids (months and months of saving), 4K mystery shards, almost 1000 gems (to increase my champion inventory space) and 6 or 7 legendary fragments from the portal all for nothing.
I'm so upset after saving for so long and throwing a ton of resources at this only to have maintenance over the last 10 minutes of the tourney. I could've lived with that if the game didn't freeze on my LAST champion pull that would've won me the tournament.
I opened a ticket with support and they basically said that I should've planned better. How am I supposed to plan for maintenance like that?
Sorry to vent guys. It's just that I've been a loyal player for years and I don't know how to plan for maintenance that blocks the most important part of the tournament (the last 10-15 minute). I just feel so hung out to dry over this whole debacle and I'm at a loss. Hope you guys had better luck :(
