Why don't players get a Legend title for completing LOL at least once?

Surely it's much harder to complete LOL than tap quickly in heroic and master for 4 hours?

Being the 1,000,000th person to do LoL is not worthy of a Legend title.

It's way more worthy than having an iPhone 7 and 5 hours to kill...

It doesn't matter anymore anyway. They ruined the Legends title by giving the same one to the first 20 RoL/300 LoL finishers as they did for the iPhone users. That cheapens it incredibly. When recruiting top alliances can't use the Legends title as a gauge anymore since it could mean it was a speedrunner, which by no way means they're skilled enough to be in a top alliance, it just means they have a really fast phone.

Exactly. Speedrun doesn't show skill. It shows speed. LOL shows skill. There's also a factor of how much you spend as well, but it's so much more difficult to do LOL that a simple speedrun. So having a Legend title for a speedrun and not actual Legend worthy content makes no sense in my opinion

False. If you have ever tried a speed run you would think differently.

Sure LoL is hard, but it can be easily overcome with a credit card. The difference in speed runs is that no matter how much money you spend, you can't guarantee a top 100 time.

The first people to complete LoL spent 5 figures to do it... how is that legendary? Maybe a legendary wallet but not legendary skills.

Don't think this is true at all. I did LoL with my 4 star starlord (like many many others) and it wasn't that difficult, just was willing to spend the units i got from arena. I couldn't do a legends run for instance at this point.

I disagree. Speaking of credit cards. Buy a bunch of featured crystals or 5* shard offers, get enough for a strong 4/55 (buy T4C deals as well), buy an iPhone 7, buy suicide masteries and you got yourself a top 100 run.

That's a lot when compared to doing some arena to get units to do LoL with 4* starlord......

I've seen reddit posts where people buy 3-4 odins to do an LOL run so it's not much more. Point is you can do a speedrun with money too.

You can i suppose, I don't know how much it would cost on average to guarantee you get a 5 star that does enough damage to do it though? There's no way to buy a significant amount of 5 star shards even if you're willing to throw in 10k compared to the 300 if you want to do LoL with 0 units to start and 0 consumables.

Sure you need all those things for a successful legend run but it doesn't guarantee anything. Every month there are probably 500 people or more that try for a legend run with a 4/55, max suicides, boosts, and an iPhone 7 but don't make the cut.

But 100s of people have done LoL and don't even have a 4/55.....because it's soooo much easier

Because different people define difficulty differently, and sometimes not even individually consistently, it is almost impossible to say objectively whether something is more or less difficult without setting agreed to ground rules. But if the question is the degree to which you can spend your way to completion, LoL is easier than a speed run for the simple reason that above a certain relatively low skill level it is theoretically always possible to buy your way to a LoL completion. If you have enough money and want to complete LoL this week, you can. Because speedrunning legend titles are granted to only a limited number of people each month, no amount of money can guarantee getting the title.

In other words, LoL is expensive but inevitable. Speedrunning is something that if 101 people spend infinite money to win, one will still lose.

In my opinion, both LoL and speedruns rely primarily on the same fundamental thing: having the highest possible damage dealer. If you don't have enough damage, you're simply not likely to be in the top 100 in any month. Conversely, while you can literally do LoL with anything, the less damage you deal and the less attack you have, the more expensive the run will become because LoL is in effect a speedrun against the enrage timer.

If you asked me to attempt both, I would spend less on the speedrun but I would likely fail. I would have to spend a lot more on the LoL run, but I would likely succeed before I ran out of money. Perhaps counter-intuitively, I still consider LoL harder. I think that is because I cannot "skill" my way to a speedrun; there's no skill I could practice that would likely allow me to end up with a top 100 finish, because I just don't have enough damage yet (although that could change whenever I decided to spend the resources to do so). But theoretically speaking I could rank up my 4* Star Lord and go for a LoL easy path run when ever I wanted to, but I don't think my current skill level makes it worth it. I would rather strengthen my roster and my skill level before trying. Since I think I have the skill to do a speed run and I only lack the right damage dealer and the willingness to spend the units on energy, but I think I have more skill to go before attempting LoL, I rank LoL "harder."

You have never done a Legends run before right? Stop using your own perception to imagine it. Try it out then comment.

And no. LoL shows skill to a certain extent, but more so, willingness to spend to complete it.
