That gamemode was seriously a lot of fun but i think weve only had it once and that was the first time it released. Even urf has come back more than this gamemode

I too liked nemesis draft. A few times Iv asked for NURF or Nemesis URF to be a thing.

We are the only two people who ever liked it, so its prob gone forever.

The people who complain about it not being fun obviously are URF junkies who just want OPOP champions. I thought Nemesis was a great mode (better than Nexus Siege at least) that forced you to get creative instead of just ducking into your comfort trench. I'd love to see this mode again.

Nemesis draft was so bad they had to give out a summoner icon to keep people from dodging lobbies

I was a big fan of nemesis and the creative builds that were often optimal in the comps that resulted, but I understand it wasn't all that popular in the big picture.

I feel like a big part of that is a lot of people didn't have the game knowledge to adapt their builds to their role and/or the breadth of champion skill to use whatever champ they got, so for many players they were left using very sub-optimal builds (either the meta build for the champ when they're played in their normal role, or simply the stores recommended build) on unfamiliar champions, which is understandably not the most fun.

It was actually very fun, playing the perceived "bad" champions. It was basically the opposite of urf: everyone gets bad champions and have to make do.

The only change I would make to it would be URF mode, so that you can't be locked into a super shitty comp (like full utility support without wave clear), but really, the base mode was cool.

The problem is that it doesn't currently work in the new client.

Same thing with One For All

Riot will get to it but it is a lot of effort that they apparently want to dedicate elsewhere for now

Nemesis draft used to be pretty fun for people like me that enjoyed playing the old "bad" champions: Yorick Urgot Poppy Aatrox etc.

I loved that mode, someone picked Olaf for me and I proceeded to mop the floor with their team. DO NOT underestimate Olaf. Had a friend that mained Skarner too and he kept getting him and destroying people with him, good times.

I've only ever heard stories of nemesis draft, it sounded like fun [zombie-nunu-tears]

Not everyone likes to play support wars/lowest win rate wars.

I loved nemesis draft. I always got supports and old Yorick and watched people flame teammates in all chat for letting me have such broken champions.

I would imagine the amount of people that play that horrible mode is the lowest out of all the modes. That was one of the dumbest ideas RIOT ever released besides the PVE modes in a PVP game.

I didnt enjoy nemesis draft. Everyone just picked the other person the next worst thing on the tier list simply because they wanted to metagame it.

Id do something fun and pick the enemy someone like Olaf, and they'd pick me....nunu.

Thats all the gamemode was really.

one of the most unpopular modes ever and for good reason. it was garbage to most people. if you enjoyed it, that's cool, but most didn't. I tried it a few times and all that happened was it was the same champs with no one being creative in their picks for the enemy team. Hell you'd often get trolls who would last pick an adc after the entire team has picked supports so the enemy team has a win condition and we don't.

I doubt they're ever going to release Nemesis Draft again, most people didn't like it. Turns out that playing "bad" champions you've never played before isn't all that fun. I enjoyed it though, got to play a lot of old Urgot.

Nemesus draft is ass every game was the same supports and tanks

Nayzumi12/21/2017, 7:13:41 PM1 votes

Wasn't this gamemode only up like once? I could go for another round of it, plus Hexakill, even though it was merely designed on who had Katarina back then.
