[POLL] Do you like Nexus Siege?

Caítlyn··5 votes·1,425 views

I feel like people dont like Nexus Siege. I only played 2 games and it was filled with players saying things like "wtf is this sh--" and "never playing this mode again" and "why cant we surrender???"

Of course that was a small sample size so Im looking for a bigger one. Votes plz

Including URF in your poll immediately made it biased. This is about Nexus Siege, is it not?

In regards to the actual question at hand though, I think Nexus Siege is a pretty decent game mode. It's unique and innovative. It's pretty different from what players are used to, so it won't be something that peeps jump on board right away I feel, but throughout my many games in Nexus Siege so far, there seems to be a good deal of players that enjoy the game mode.

Right now things are just negative because no one was able to read last week Nexus Siege was going to be out two weekends in a row.

It doesnt matter if you think its "biased" or not. This is my poll, an informal poll, not a poll asking about presidential candidates or something important.

I included URF because theres a lot of players (like me) who simply dont care about it and would rather play URF. URF is relevant that is what Nexus Siege is replacing.

Why not just make your poll, "Does anyone like any other game mode expect URF?"

An informal post about Nexus Siege would be about Nexus Siege, not just a clear disguise of, "I'm just complaining more about URF not being up 24/7."

If you were truly curious about Nexus Siege, then you wouldn't include any other game mode obviously. Or if you did include other game modes, why only URF? By all means, you're allowed to be as biased as you wish; I was just pointing out your poll is beyond invalid now towards the actual point of the post is all.

A lot of people dont like Nexus Siege BECAUSE they would rather have URF. I can guarantee people would like Siege mode more if URF mode didnt exist.

If you want to make your own "unbiased" poll by all means be my guest.

"I don't like X because I'd rather have Y" doesn't even make sense. Split that into two sentences and remove the 'because'. Liking Strawberry ice cream is independent of if you'd rather have chocolate right now.

adding urf didn't make it biased

When you're trying to gauge a reaction to [THING] and you present an alternative to it in the same breath, it skews the results and makes them less accurate. In this specific case, it's not unlike asking "Do you like Pepsi? Yes, no, love it, or do you prefer Coke instead?" A: it shows that you have an axe to grind, and B: the presence of the "Coke" answer is inflammatory and will thus warp the data points far beyond acceptable margins for error.

Is the poll itself biased? Not exactly, but it suggests bias in the poll-maker and can only produce useless results either way.

Its not bias, its just not producing the type of data one might normally expect. This 4th option simply adds a new dynamic to the collection.

What can be concluded here is that most people are indifferent to nexus siege or just so interested in URF that they'd rather just complain about the lack of Urf compared to how bad Nexus siege may or may not be.

Mentioning urf, specifically, hints at the OP's bias, especially since it's a game mode likely to elicit strong reactions. Hell, you yourself just mentioned that some people would rather complain about not having URF than give a useful data point. So far, the poll shows a degree of indifference to Siege, but there are 7 points locked on the URF answer. That obfuscates the results by pulling them from legitimate answers.

No, that obfuscates the results of the survey that you wish was there, not the one that actually exists. The data is as is, it is what it is and it is not what you were expecting. Just because it doesn't satisfy your own more specific curiosities doesn't make it invalid.

You guys realize you are arguing about a poll being biased on the internet right? Not to be the bearer of bad news, but any poll will have bias. That is the entire point about a poll - to gather peoples opinions between a number of choices.

Hell only about 20% (made up statistic) of the millions of players that play this game bother to visit the boards at all. Of those 20% that do, only about 1% (again made up statistic) are going to bother clicking on this thread. Then you are going to have another 1% of that 1% who are going to bother voting on the poll. There's bias right there. Had they put "I neither like nor dislike Siege" instead of "Gimme URF" - those responses would STILL be irrelevant (i.e. erroneous results - the +/- you see in every poll) to the poll results because those folks have 0 opinion about their preference in this particular poll.

Basically what I am saying is: Go play the game and stop arguing over stupid shit on the internet.

Did I say anything about doing a poll? All I said is you are both arguing over stupid shit on the internet. That has nothing to do with participating in a poll.

I Played it one time, and did really well. I really didn't like it though and never bothered to queue up again. It just seems like a dumbed down normal summoner's rift except you take turns and cs doesn't matter.

I liked it. One thing I liked is almost any champ could be made useful and no champ was nearly totally invulnerable. You had some champs awesome on defense but not so good on offense and other type things. I only played a couple. I like it better than Poro King that's for sure. I'm not a big fan of definitely not dominion. Urf was good but you have to ban certain champs or the game is over. One for all was ok. They all have their good and their bad.
