Nexus Blitz: the first event should only start after everyone has hit 6

KFCeytron·Dec 28, 2018·5 votes·2,492 views

Being behind on exp relative to the opponent is almost unavoidable in any mode, but it's dealt with by avoiding confrontation until you make up the difference. In Nexus Blitz, however, the first event forces confrontation right when people who haven't missed out on exp are hitting 6, while anyone who lost a trade and had to recall still hasn't unlocked their ult. The impact from this can be negligible in an event like BR due to the breathing space before fighting actually starts, but being first up in a prize fight without ult is like being the first to present your project to the class when the teacher knows you were out sick.

I know that it's only fair that pushing your opponent out of lane should reward some kind of advantage, but this advantage is too big. The difference between levels 6 and 7 is okay, but 5 and 6 is not.

It's actually easy to hit 6 as the entire team if your junglers remember that respawn starts at 3:12 and STOPS CAMPING A LANE.

But if they do camp a lane? Judging by the caps, I'd guess that this has happened to you before, and perhaps the subsequent event saw your team eat a bunch of ults without being able to respond in kind.

It's happened to everybody before. It's horribly common for the junglers to just abandon the jungle after the first clear, all the way until the first event. When I jungle I clear, hit mid and bottom, and peel off to go clear again. It lets my entire team hit 6, if I can manage to get the other jungler to join me.

if you haven't hit 6 by the time first event starts, that's your fault, and the enemy players should be rewarded for it. Even if you die once, it's still usually possible to reach 6 if you focus on farming before the event starts.

Yes, it is that player's fault, and the enemy should be rewarded for it. I said as much in the OP.

My point is that this advantage is too large for a forced confrontation.

People in Top lane " or mid or whatever " can reach level 6 easily , and even 7 The bot lane has 2 players an they usually level 5 , junglers are usually level 6 , when Something like that Duels fight starts , it's RNG , the level 5 bot laners might a level 7 top laner and a level 6 jungler which IS NOT fair at all , even if the same thing will happen to the enemies

Yeah but nothing feels better than beng a level 5 Lee against 2 enemies when you are low hp , and they both level 6 , you kill one of them , level up , get ult and kill the second , I did it 3 times already and it feels so good tbh

What ive seen is similar but one reason I don't play blitz is that it's around level 6 that I make my first back and if I don't do it in time I'm stuck sitting on 1500+ gold and a dorans blade. I don't get why we cant buy items while in event stasis.
