Because of the weird objectives that actually require some amount of team play ^^

I love it.

I love it tbh.

I really really really hope the following changes happen to it

  • 10 bans.

I also hope that it's kept as "Pick your own champion". Making it all random will destroy the mode.

+1 for bans

I 100% will not play it without bans.

No it's not.

I hope they don't default to that.

Yeah bans would be nice. Some map-specific rebalancing would also be nice.

Depends. They said they are open to the idea of it. Now it could have rotating elements (different "pool" of objectives every week), but I can see it being a potential mainstay like aram.

Automated Riven1 votes

That's the whole point of it tho. Its intended to be a permenant mode if it has a good reception and gets cleared for further development.

They won't. See TT and Dominion. Arguably ARAM, though at least that has gotten some attention. They'll barf this out, and any lingering issues will most likely be ignored in favor of "muh sr". Hopefully not, but historically that is the case.

I also liked Dominion.

hopefully all the shitters will switch to nexus blitz and then riot can make SR great again while they are distracted and have nothing to endlessly bitch about.

The first time I saw the map and read the point of the mode, I figured it was gonna be like that.

Can you tell us about some of the objectives you've seen?

I’ve gotten 3 of them that I remember. One is a giant ring of fire that starts out about the size of the whole map that progressively gets smaller essentially forcing the two teams to team fight, which ever team aces the other first gets some kind of reward. Another one is “push the cart”. A cart thing spawns in the middle of one of the lanes and your team has to stand within its circle and “push” it towards the enemy’s side of the map. Think tug of war but you’re pushing instead of pulling. The last one I remember having was a robotic being spawning in the jungle and when my team killed it our towers got blitzcrank pulls lol.

the ones that ive seen which i think are all of them are

bardle royale, where a ring of fire slowly closes in on a spot and you need to kill the enemies basically just a smaller battle royale but 5v5 bardle royale juggernaut, the same as bardle royale but 1 person on each team gets a buff to their damage and health i think but their isnt a buff tooltip so you cant tell king of the kill, basically just a randomly spawned zone on the ground that works like the shrines in twisted treeline push the cart, a cart spawns in the center of the map and your team needs to be near it to push it whoever has more people pushes it to the nearest enemy structure and will kill it but it can be reversed if there are more enemies also it will be stopped if there are the same number of people near it snow ball fight, you get a mark as both summoner spells and just throw it at enemies until the first team to hit a certain amount wins and finally nexus blitz where both nexus go into a battle mode and go down mid lane to push whoever kills the opposing walking nexus first wins (edit)- loot teemo, a teemo with a chest with around 10k health will run around the map and whoever kills it first gets a reward you also get gold off of it depending on the damage you do

the rewards you can get are

blessing of blitzcrank, where your turrets, cannon minions, and super minions get a phantom blitzcrank hook that hooks champions whenever they come near and ignores minions(this one is permanent) mega ocean drake buff, just a stronger version of ocean drake and lasts 3 minutes one time use ga, it gives you a guardians angel for 90s catapult of champions, it gives you a cannon in your "fountain" that can be used to shoot your champ to at most the enemies middle turret or jg turret(this one is permanent) and finally or atleast i think is cursed enemy minions where all enemy minions besides super minions have 1 hp for 3 min (edit)giant shield?, you get a massive sheild that doesnt regenerate or decay

TheWizardM1 votes

you can also get a reward where you get a massive, permanent shield that doesn't regenerate (so after it is destroyed its gone), and if you win nexus blitz event you win the game, not just the event.

You forgot “Kill the Loot Teemo” where essentially a fast and random scuttle crab AI golden teemo runs around the map with a box, the team to kill it wins one of the rewards
