[Nexus Blitz] Event Idea
We've seen events like King of the Hill which is a familiar concept seen on Twisted Treeline. What if we could get an event that takes concepts from the Dominion game mode itself?
The general flow of Nexus Blitz is to be quick and simple, so perhaps only one spire should spawn on the map. We've seen many of the events help the losing team by being placed in a favorable position of the map, the location of the spire should also follow this idea.
In Dominion, your objectives are:
• Capturing more spires / all spires until the enemy's Nexus depletes to zero • Kills contribute towards the decay, but not past a certain point of health
Applying these objectives as an event to Nexus Blitz:
• Only one spire spawns, and will spawn closer towards the team that is behind (but not significantly deep into their territory) • In Dominion, there is a health bar at the top that belongs to the Nexus, for Nexus Blitz it should just be a health bar for this event • Kills can still contribute towards the decay of the health bar, but not past a certain point • Ultimately, to win this event you must capture the spire and deplete the enemy's Event health bar
I think it'd be fitting that the reward for this event should be the buff at the center of the map from Dominion. Not a permanent buff, but has a duration of maybe 120 seconds or so?
There is a lot of potential events that could be included in Nexus blitz, there are a lot of good game concepts from past event game modes that we don't get to experience often.
Some past events being:
• Star Guardians Invasion , create an event for Nexus Blitz where everyone has to dodge projectiles and be the last one standing • Legend of the Poro King, for the pre-existing snowball event, Poros should be thrown instead and the reward should spawn the Poro King himself • Dark Star: Singularity, might be hard to incorporate this, but maybe introduce new summoner spells for this event that can push or pull enemies and have the map slowly consumed by darkness until everyone is eliminated
I really enjoy Nexus Blitz so far, it does a better job of being a "quick and fun" game mode in comparison to ARAM.
P.S I really hate the snowball event
