Nemesis Draft is Really Fun

Since there have been a bunch of threads complaining about Nemesis Draft, I want to post something to say that I think it is really fun. People are forced to explore creative options with different champions and try to communicate with each other and figure out how to work together outside of the meta. Often a champ that is thought to be "trash" turns out to be rather strong in the match. Since the champs you get are so random and the chaos factor is high, it is a very low pressure game mode, something unusual on SR. If your team does bad, that's not much of a surprise, under the circumstances, and if they do good then all the better.

If the game mode hasn't gotten as much play as Riot may have wanted (I don't know that it has or not, but if), it is probably only because in Nemesis Draft many of us get champions we don't own in most or perhaps even EVERY game. So that will lower the amount of play because lots of people enjoy the hunt for chests and keys and aren't going to spend too many games in a game mode where they cannot get them.

It's a fun game mode, though. First time I have had fun playing an SR map in a while. Thanks!

It's just shitty that so many people queue dodge because they don't like the champions the enemy picked for them.

That's the damn point.

I don't know why people are queuing up expecting to get a champion they enjoy or a team comp that makes sense.

The only thing I hate is that it takes half an hour to get into a game because people are dodging 4 times every game. It's even worse than with ARAM and has to be punished more severely. If you don't like the game mode stay out of it. If you don't understand that, let's give them a helping hand and put a restriction on their account so they can't play this specific game mode anymore. They're REALLY ruining the fun for the rest.

It was fun as shit last time, where people would keep giving me Poppy. Then they were genuinely surprised when I walked through their team and 2-shot their squishies.

Ugh, I get chosen Alistar every single time.

Except for last time. For some reason they gave me Malzahar.
