nemesis is the most boring.

nemesis is boring. know why? because it doesn't restrict champions you can pick for enemy team. which leads to the same 10 underpowered tanks being picked every game.

hello Zac Urgot Shen Poppy Yorick Garen Alistar DrMundo Taric Rammus

this game mode is just a 100% effective way for people to make toxic/boring games for eachother, rage at eachother, and then mass report eachother at the end.

I'd say 99% on that part. My first time playing it this afternoon was pretty fun. The enemy team's Zilean made jokes the whole game through and our team and their team congratulated everyone on nice plays. Upon questioning their decision to give us Yi, they simply replied because they wanted to. At the end, no one raged, no one made any toxic remarks, everyone seemed to have enjoyed themselves. I tossed "Honorable Opponents" and "Teamworks" like they were going on sale. You can't base your experience as the norm, everyone has different games/experiences. I'd say you should try this mode again but this time I hope you get paired with nicer people.

the same underpowered tanks? LOLLOLOL... you really don't know how strong any of those champions are. Plus I've had MANY games where NONE of those were chosen.

That seems like one of the most OP combo's from hell I could think of.

I think your definition of underpowered is stupidly incorrect, but you still do make a point in the grander picture here.

I mean I don't play certain champs because I don't find it fun to do so, so if someone on the other team gives me a champ that I never play because I don't enjoy, I'm still not going to enjoy it! Nemesis draft is just generally an awful idea and I whole heartedly think Riot is just trying to get everyone to play the less played champs to try and bring them back into the game without Riot having to change them directly.

Anyway yeah you're wrong about those champs, Zac is a very strong tank jungler with ridiculous sustain and clear, Shen has always been AT LEAST average in top lane, if Poppy can get a good match up in top lane she can wreck carries late game, Yorick still has very few lane counters, Garen is actually very strong early game, Alistair has been a strong pick for a long time now, Mundo is extremely effective in certain comps, and Rammus is actually one of the strongest tank junglers atm.

But yeah Taric is awful :P

It was terrible, my entire team got tanky champions and we gave them all squishy ones, oh the horror when we all got sheens+defense, oh poor us poor poor...oh wait they got steam rolled. Confirmed golem meta still fun.

Also rammus really? I hope they 1st pick rammus, I'll make their whole team ADs.

I'm loving the spam the enemy with junglers meta cause they're mostly bruisers and a team of bruisers aint nothing to * with.

ignore the teams. ignore all champs, in fact. just do this:

item 3060 item 3512 item 3068 item 3269 item 3102 item 3065

and win every single match. bonus points if the enemy team has, say, janna, nami, soraka, gragas, and mordekaiser or something.
