Remove Bans From Nexus Blitz

Just like the title says, the bans should be removed. I thought NB was supposed to be a CASUAL alternative game mode. Neither blind nor HA have bans and I don't think NB should either.

The game mode should have a ban phase.

Some people find certain champions ruin the fun for them.

I wonder why you're against bans.....

Oh, could it be you're spamming a broken champion in NB? : ^)

There is literally no point to bans when Riot said they are going to make champion specific changes. All it does is stop people who enjoy champions like Yasuo, Zed, Irelia, etc from playing the game mode, because let's face it people won't ban what is actually strong in the game mode (Karthus, Veigar, Teemo, Graves, etc). And even if you do ban champions that are strong, there are just way too many strong champions to ban them.

Congrats you banned every assassin, now here are burst mages that do the same thing when on fire!

Bans also increase the time spent in queue and champ select, especially since people will dodge if what they wanted to try out is banned.

I've been spamming Lux, check it out yourself. No I felt this mode was supposed to be a casual fun mode. If I queue up for it, I want to be able to pick whatever I want.

Lux got her HP/lvl and Armor/lvl nerfed in that game mode suggesting that she was to strong. (Or at least to hard to kill)

Cuz some people wanna play ranged champs but it's next to impossible when there's like a 90% chance that Yasuo is on the enemy team.

I'd permaban Yasuo just cuz he ruins the fun of playing someone like MissFortune in NB.

I think just for the sake of banning Yasuo, the fun sucker, it's worth it

I rarely got him in my games prior to bans being added.

Got excited until i saw bans were only in oce. hope we get that here it would be nice to play with having the choice to not face nasus/yasuo/lux all of the time.

What bans?

From dev corner post

CHAMP SELECT BAN TESTING IN OCE We'll be testing bans in Oceania from now through Monday morning Oceanic time. Though our intent for Nexus Blitz is to avoid an atmosphere of strict competitiveness, bans have been one of the most common requests we've seen across regions—so much so that they're at least worth testing! This isn't a guarantee that theoretical future versions of Nexus Blitz will have bans; like everything else in the alpha, we're just experimenting to see what could work.

Seems like a good idea to me. "Fast-paced" does not mean" every game you deserved to get one-shot cz Nexus Blitz lul".

JunkοSep 7, 20181 votes

There are only 10 bans, but basically every champion can one shot when on fire on this mode. I've been 100-0'd by a full tank Sion in this game mode.

BeatzBoyFTWSep 7, 20181 votes

Now better question: How often have you gotten "100-0 by a full tank Sion" in SR?

I'd rather get killed by that than plain Zed with Duskblade, whom should've just stick to SR if he were to tryhard til that point.

There should be a ban phase for when Galio 7.21 comes around the corner again.

Bans are a good idea because I hate having to see Lux Zed Akali like almost every round.

theChibiTinaSep 7, 20181 votes

HA doesn't have bans because it's random champions. Blinds is specifically designed to not have bans or see enemy pick before game (so no counter picking either). Draft pick is the casual form of ranked. I think they should have both blind pick and draft pick for Nexus Blitz. Pretty sure they changed it to draft because to many people complained about everyone only picking the current OPs and not enough variety in champions being picked. They can't really get an idea of how all the champions function in the mode if there are champions that no one will play.

Bans in Bexus Blitz is perfectly acceptable. There are always champs who will have great advanatages on certain game modes. Back when Dominion was around, Rammus, Hecarim, and Shaco were strong candidates for the map. They helped capture and backdoor towers as well as be some of the first champs to make it to the Windmill shortly after the game starts.

Anyways from my 300 games of experience in Nexus Blitz, heals and shields are OP as well as revivals since they essentially circumvent the increased damage intank debuff from going on fire and prevent losses in Bardle Royal. It allows the on fire player to go crazy OP glass canon without any risk of handing off the global on fire bounty to the other team especially since Nexus Blitz doesn't have a global reduced heal debuff like the Howling Abyss does in which both modes are fast income and fast exp gaining game modes.

And as other point out there are quite a handful of champs that players themselves just absolutely hate playing against. It's not so much to shut down the players who love playing X champion but to allow players to not deal with that X champion. If X champion doesn't get banned then feel free to go ape-shit nuts with them.
