Nexus Blitz is.... gonna fail..

Now hear me out.. I would LOVE for a new permanent game mode to exist.. But once again I think Riot is just utterly oblivious to what the "fine print" is when it comes to what their player base wants..

I can't speak for everyone, but most people I do know, play league to have fun with friends in norms, some play it to be competetive for ranked. But everyone, once in awhile, wants to just sit back and mess around in a game mode. That's what Aram is for, or any of the other rotation game modes.

THe problem with Nexus Blitz is that it is useless for about 90% of the champs in the game. Hyper carries, massive up front early game damage is all that matters. EARLY GAME champions.. and only the hyper carries will dominate. Already I'm seeing the same champs over and over and over and over again... Once people start to figure out those handful of champs that just stomp in the game mode, its going to get really boring really fast... Not to mention Riot is for some reason.. trying to balance Nexus as a game mode.... why?! All that's going to accomplish is Riot figuring out what should of been obvious from the start as they wake up one day and say "oh gee... we acn't balance this game mode and 5's and LCS..." then they'll throw some random changes on it that make it evne less fun, and then they'll either dump it completely like the poor Dominion game mode, which I actually highly enjoyed when I just wanted a quick fun game mode.. Or it'll turn into another 3's gamemode, that they utterly and completely ignore and becomes a cesspool of bot spams, and chaotic toxic mess of imbalance.

Aram is fun as a random quick have fun game mode because its always random. Always new match ups for the most part. It keeps it interesting... Nexus won't be that way. Because of how short the games are, only early game hyper carries as I mentioned, or super high utility champs will be worth anything.

Riot.. This shit is simple, and you're making yourself look like complete morons. Make URF, or one of those other game modes that people LOVE so much, don't fking worry about balancing it.. that's not the point of the game mode.. Don't worry about doing shit to it, don't worry about adding any extra flare... just make those "Rotation" game modes legit game modes, and call it good...

Dump Nexus Blitz... it'll be fun for a few months then everyone is gonna just drop it because of how boring and stale its going to get with the same hyper carry champs and same old mini games that honestly pretty boring as a whole.. If I wanted that I"d go play Heroes of the Storm, and if I wanted a circle of death I'd go play PUBG.. If I wanted a balanced game mode I"d go play 5's, when I want a fun quick mess around game mode I'd go play urf, or Aram..

I forget the names of the other game modes, but there were several that were 15 mins and hella fun. Like the 3 lanes trying to push into the base with 1 team defending. That was fun. Didn't last long, and many champs were viable and interesting ti play with on that mode.

Nexus blitz.... Riot trying too hard to bring the player base what they already do... a fun game mode.. only riot forgot they can just flip the switch to make them, or some of them permanent...

If they're willing to do mode specific balance they should just bring back Dominion. It had a dedicated core playerbase. I bet a lot of those people would come back.

I think you're focusing on the wrong problems with Nexus Blitz. Sure the balance is fucked right now and you only want certain champs but they can fix that. It's just numbers.

The problem with Nexus blitz is it actually has nothing unique going for it. Why would anyone play this instead of SR honestly? I just don't get it. What's the unique experience to be had here?

i just played Jinx, and got my ass handed to me, but you know what? it was FUN this game mode is super fun! even if you lose, who cares? it doesn't need competitive or meta, it's just fun! who cares if 90% of champs are "optimal"? so long as you're having fun?
