In life you should give credit when credit is due. So i'd like to say this.
Good job Riot on Nexus Blitz.
Fun gamemode. interesting little events (loot teemo, scuttle battle) The concept of a duo jungle sharing exp. ( I enjoy having a friend with me in the jungle ) and still being able to use wards (champs like jax, lee sin)

Yeah, kinda just wish they'd given this to people demanding shorter games, instead of... well what ever SR is right now
I like Nexus Blitz but not having a ban phase is letting it down big time.
it is fun though I wish they would give you the same or close to XP as SR though
to hell with the gamemodes fix these bullshit bans first
"you let the nuclear silos explode while rather focusing on patching up a pipe in your mothers bathroom, i'll give credit where credit is due, good job on that pipe"
Lol it's funny because they basically copied Heroes of the Storm: events that happen every so often and require team coordination, faster games, fewer jungle camps, smaller map, an object that lets you teleport to the battlefield (the tunnel in the grave whatever in HotS), cursed enemy minions especially.
Not saying that Nexus Blitz is bad, it's just interesting that they took so many concepts from HotS.
Eh, once people start developing a meta you'll all start bitching about it like you do SR.
I mean it'll be fine once they inevitably nerf mages and tanks in it.
They just need to remove Rift Herald because it's way too strong on this map. Either that or nerf it into the ground on Nexus Blitz specifically (HP or damage wise).
The walking nexus event isn't really fun either. If the game goes past 25 minutes I'm fine with it, but not 17 minutes into the game. It destroys close games.
Snowball event should go.
Glad to see some positivity around here sometimes.
Ikr? I just spam Jungle Kai'Sa with my friends.
It's fun, but is it fun enough to be a permanent game mode?
I'd rather have permanent Ascension, Dark Star, or Nexus Siege.
Why is Riot so certain THIS is the next permanent game mode? Why aren't they releasing it as a RGM game?
Would be nice if you could pick 5 champs and queue then when a match is found the game starts right away without champ select. no more waiting 1 minute for people to decide what they want to play. I say 5 champs because if for some reason your team gets the first 4, you get your 5th pick.
But 99% of the games you will get either your first or second pick. You would also be able to choose your runes for each potential champion pick as well as your Summoner spells.
The only con would be people not being able to choose based on what their team mates picked, it would be a true blind pick. But i don't care more games per hour beats technical things like optimizing your team comp to try hard in a fun game mode.
Nah.
Agreed, but there are some glaring issues.
I really think they should make it so some rewards are attached to specific events. Things like getting shield after the bardle royal feels weird when the whole enemy team is already dead. That and they should probably remove the reward from the pay load event, a guarantied tower kill seems like enough.
Other then that It feels great to play and I look forward to it's further development.
they just have to rework all of their events. Its too one-directed of an advantage (how many time the capture the point or flaming circle was under the enemy's top turret? and then they get the 1 life minions buff for 2 mins allowing them to get 3 turrets out of it...). I'm not even gonna call how bugged they are caus its still beta testing
The idea of it is good, the gameplay sucks. The comeback mechanics are actually retarded.
Favors the losing team far too much
Why so many upvotes when the queue time is so long?
While I can say that I really like, regardless of development stage, I shouldn't be getting games that have one-sided events. Whether I'm winning or losing, the events put Teemo's on the enemy side AND paths on their side of the map. When the cart stays out for too long, all it takes is for one step into the circle and immediately launches itself to my teams' objectives. King of the Hill puts zones on the enemy sides AND give MY team the burn effect.
I love this mode, but it's going to be pointless if these gamebreaking issues aren't tweaked out. I don't care if it is in "alpha", I've played many different games that had an almost flawless alpha phase than this. Things like this shouldn't be happening.
I don't like it.
Nexus Blitz is a great game mode, but it can only exist in this current game state to be as much fun as it is. If damage wasn't this high currently, most games would be decided by whoever could win that last teamfight when the Nexuses start walking. The meta would become to funnel farm into an ADC so they can shred the nexus and have champs to protect them.
I get the feeling that this is what League was balanced for; quick games with lots of teamfighting. If it weren't for the minigames and some of the hilarious buffs you can get, I'd say it's probably more balanced than SR currently.
I wouldn't be surprised if Nexus Blitz is being made by bunch of fans secretly kept somewhere in Riots basement and they are paid in skins, RP, BP, WTF, RAR, OMG or some other game currency and also Ahri-shaped pillows.
It's great and some of the things to make it even more perfect are easy to fix. Getting rid of the snowball event and making the battle royale not go over towers would really help.
Agreed but some of the events are boring and unsatisfying.
Snowball event: it doesnt feel satisfying when you land a snowball and it feels really bad/frustrating when you get hit by one.
Push the cart: The event really just doesnt feel satisfying at all.
Control Point: It feels really bad when the control point lands in enemy territory and they have a giant advantage.
I just wish it wasn't so laggy. Not sure if it's just my connection or whatever, but every time I play it my ping spikes massively even when I had been playing SR before with no issues.
