[Nexus Blitz] The Prize Fight event can be rigged by the enemy

darkdill··38 votes·13,888 views

During a recent match I had, the enemy Jhin set down a load of his traps before a Prize Fight, which gave his team an unfair advantage. And in another match, Heimerdinger had his turrets down and they were able to fire on my teammates for a short bit as their round started, despite that it wasn't his turn.

Now, while you could say "Do the same thing", it's still cheapass. To remedy this, I suggest that the arena in Prize Fight be a section of the map that is otherwise inaccessible, so that no one can rig it with traps beforehand.

or.... or..... remove all traps and turrets that are in the prize fight ring when the event begins and only allow the traps and turrets spawned DURING the event

cait traps jhin traps teemo shrooms nidalee traps heimer turrets etc...

That'd be harder to do and would inevitably bug out, so just having a separate arena for it would be a better choice.

don't they do that with ARURF already? I don't know about teemo shrooms but if I put down shaco's W and ARURF deathmatch begins my W instantly gets killed off

I assure you having 5 teemo shrooms and 3 maokai plants down makes a massive fucking difference when it's a ranged vs melee matchup.

Is it fair that someone has to 1v2 and then their health gets super low after winning it then they get into another 1v1? Still with the low health?

given that this only happens if the other team already won 2 rounds, yes it is.

I mean, jhin and Heimerdinger seem like mild cases, not really too op. Now I had a Teemo on my side once. THAT was busted. He literally didn’t even try to win his match, just made sure to shroom everything. All I had to do was kite out my opponent until the end of my round, easy win.

Which was hilarious, but a smidge broken. Probably felt aweful for that enemy Jax.

He was playing Jax, don't feel too bad for him.

Feature, not a bug if you ask me. It's the whole point of traps is to create circumstances where you have an unfair advantage, and the enemy doesn't know about it. It's lame, but otherwise there's no reason to pick these champions at all.

The game has been balanced around SR for about a decade. NB is a joke.

These are non issues. So minor they never make a difference. Pretending they do is just.. no.

Lol even if people aren't intentionally trying to cheese the system, I saw enough Teemo shrooms and AP Shaco boxes left after their dual was over and another began to know this is an issue. Stuff needs to despawn before Prize Fight and also despawn in between rounds.

Yes of course, losing 1/3 of your health to a Teemo shroom while in a 1v1 with not-teemo is certainly fair. Especially if he bought Liandry's. Getting rooted for a couple hours just because the last round had a Cait in it? or how about Jhin putting his trap right where he knows you're going to spawn so he can instantly root you with it.

This is so stupidly painful to read...

I would vote for despawning all turrets/shrooms/lotuses, prize fight takes so long that you won't even remember if they were there.

There are so many cheese threats in those events.... And you cherry pick this one?

What about syndra stealing the loot minion. What about tahm eating an enemy poro king and chunking it. What about the scuttle race and mord speeds it up while spamming huehuehue.

At least for the circumstance your explaining you can prepare just as they are by clearing that shit before the event

Not sure why this doesn't happen in Prize Fight. I played about a zillion games of Nexus Blitz as Heimer and for URF mode my turrets did all die if I set them up in center right before the fight. If Heimer sets up a turret right near the wall where his team is (so they are in close proximity to him after the match) they will stay live and attack enemies too. Of course few of my teammates were smart enough to use this to their advantage so it didn't help much.
