Blood Moon is so boring

Riot please don't make this a permanent game mode, never have I regretted queuing a new game mode so much. I don't know who came up with this Assassins vs Assassins idea but I sure as heck wouldn't make it as boring as this.

I'm no fan of rotating game modes. But when Blood Moon was first revealed, I wanted it to be a permanent game mode. It may not take skill, but it's fast and actually really fun. I'm not really sure how you found it boring instead of just unenjoyable.

Blood Moon is probably the closest League will ever have to a Deathmatch mode.

I love it for that. It's like the "stereotypical Bronze V game" joke where everyone picks assassins, no one builds defensively no matter the score, no one gets any CS (none!), objective taking is rare, and the real objective is to get as many kills as possible. It is team deathmatch and it is glorious. It doesn't have the toxicity though. The death timers are way too short for anything but pinging.

Disagree. I found it super fun. I played like 25 games of it.

What about assassin Vs Assassin makes it so boring

I find it really fun with people trying to outplay eachother with their favorite assassin.

It's like ARAM except it takes even less skill and more luck.

I take it you haven't tried using TP on your team's ghosts to deny the enemy taking them.

Or anticipated what path the enemy will take through the jungle.

the one thing i dislike is that with the 3 stack buff you can basically instant kill anyone regardless of their strength or skill.

You do need to give some form of objective other than just killing someone and heralds, besides you're revealed while you're kitting the ghosts that give a stack. People will know where you are and potentially b-line twards you to contest, which results in skirmishes.

so the reward with it is fine, seeing as you lose the stacks if you go back.

Oh yeah i totally understand why it is in the game and I enjoy the buff, I just dislike the inherent OPness of the thing. It's my least favorite thing about the gamemode but I still like it-that's the sign of a good gamemode.

but its gotta be super op otherwise it wouldnt feel satisfying. think like jhins fourth shot or vlads empowered q, when you land it on an enemy and see the difference it made in the heath bar you just feel like such a badass

It lacks the three worst things about LoL.

~~Tanks~~ Early game ~~Tanks~~ Laning ~~Tanks~~ Last Hitting

It is fun as hell.

Lol that's pretty dangerous to say Mira.

I am allowed to make humor, no amount of downvotes from board fanatics with their insane levels of tank worship is going to change that.

that's assuming people understand humor @rengar mains who got really triggered over one of my jokes

So, most of the boards are made of tank mains.

What other mains lurk these depths?

Mira Arya EntheJun 18, 20172 votes

Not tank mains, the boards simply believe tanks to be an infallible class of champions who deserve to be the centerpiece of the game at all times. And think that tanks metas are the best metas. Then of course beg for nerfs anytime any tank is viable at all, see Poppy, Nautilus, Maokai last season and Galio and Zac this season who are getting a lot of hate.
