Was that really the worst stream in MCOC history?

The split in opinion does make sense to me. If you were looking for free stuff, that experience probably wasn't the best for you today due to some issues we had with Twitch Drops. Codes worked just fine as they were single redemptions and meant to add 2 more people to the 10 we normally give things away to.

However, in my opinion, I felt we revealed some pretty cool things and pulled the curtain back a bit on the future of the contest. So people that like to know what's happening with the Contest after our long silence, I would imagine enjoyed the info drop.

So the fact that the codes were "meant to add 2 more people to the 10 we normally give things away to" was not how the codes were marketed, at all. Promo codes, even hidden ones, have never been so restricted. To make them a key component of your livestream advertising while also not explaining (1) the reward itself or (2) its incredible restriction, you caused many people to just stare at various parts of the screen for absolutely nothing. If I had known it was such a limited reward, I would have spent my time doing something else. I am mad that I wasted an hour on this.

Also, you did not "reveal[] some pretty cool things and pull[] the curtain back a bit." Yes, you previewed that you would be releasing new 7* champs in deals. Yes, you suggested (but did not promise nor describe with any meaningful accuracy) the upcoming Valiant EQ or side quest changes. At best, you told viewers that they would have a chance to buy more things in the future for content that is being contemplated but not designed (PS on this front, the idea of tying Valiant EQ to prestige is one of the worst ideas I've heard). You need to better temper what the players become excited about. We want to know how you're going to fix bugs so that the game isn't a frustrating experience every day. We want to know what new content we can enjoy. We want a better gameplay experience than what we currently have.

It's totally fine that these problems can't be solved overnight or in a single livestream. But please, don't patronize us by serving us a bad product, and then insist to us that we're wrong and it's actually outstanding.

If you even paid attention to the last livestream they did say they were going to be bringing back the promo codes but it was only going to be available for a limited amount of ppl and would be like it was for decembers they also said at the beginning of the stream today it will be limited i understand ppl are upset with the state of the game but to lie and act like they didnt warn us ahead of time is just wrong

Something being "limited" isn't the same as being "2 people." And even if they said it at the beginning of the stream today (which was the first time this idea was presented, you're wrong that they discussed it earlier, even December's wasn't anything like this because that was unlimited), they didn't say it on the marketing materials, so that means they baited and switched us. That's even worse than just being vague. Don't pretend they were upfront, if they were, the forums wouldn't be flooded with rageposts about this.

By my comment mentioning December i ment like detective work to find it limited could mean whatever they want it to be if they wanted it to be 2 then its 2 if they wanted it to be 10 or 20 then it could have been that amount as well there is no set number it had to be to be considered limited just alot of cry babys who werent paying attention thats all that complaining means
