Riot has got some explaining to do

RazzieSpanker·12/6/2018, 6:14:02 PM·57 votes·17,780 views

So, this new 2v2 round duel is pretty fucking unconsistent and poorly designed. We killed 4 out of 5 on their team, won 2 rounds and they won 2 rounds (atleast 1 REALLY unfair) and pretty much just killed 1 member from our team. Can anyone explain how this unconsistent shit works?

Round 1

Veigar/Jax vs Graves/Shaco

Veigar/Jax both died, Graves/Shaco both survived

RED WIN!

Graves/Shaco both gets removed even though they both survive(????)

Round 2

Teemo/Pyke vs Teemo/Corki

Teemo/Pyke both died, Teemo died and Corki survives.

RED WIN!

Corki WITH SUB 20 % HP GETS TO PLAY NEXT ROUND(?????)

Round 3

Caitlyn vs 0.2Corki (aka. 20 % of a Corki)

Caitlyn survives, Corki dies.

Caitlyn does NOT GET REMOVED, even though Graves/Shaco got REMOVED under the same circumstances**(?????)**

BLUE WIN!(????????)

Round 4

Caitlyn vs Kennen

Caitlyn survives, Kennen dies.

BLUE WIN!

TOTAL SCORE (because appearently we just play 4 rounds even though it's not an odd number meaning we could legitimately end up with a genuine tie):

Blue team survivors: Caitlyn (aka 1 out of 5) Blue team rounds won: (Round 3)(does this one even count??????) Round 4 (aka 1 out of 4)

Red team survivors: Graves, Shaco and Corki (aka 3 out of 5) Red team rounds won: Round 1, Round 2, (what even was Round 3???) (aka 2 out of 4)

_ RIOT "LOGIC"_ Blue team survivors > Red team survivors (aka 1>3) Blue team rounds > Red team rounds (aka 1>2)

OUTCOME!

BLUE WINS OF COURSE; CONGRATULATIONS!!! [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

As I said, can someone explain, and I am really curious how Riot themselves can make sense out of this. It really isn't fun when you win OR lose games because of unfair disadvantages. The game was pretty much over when they won this event since they got item 3026, which snowballed them to easily win LOOT TEEMO (and also, the TEEMO LOOT was 100 % of the time on their side of the map, just spawning 200 units on our half then running in to their half rest of the time), all getting money (aka fed) and "The Blessing of Janna", which made it impossible for us to comeback.

"It's just a game mode for fun, don't spend 30 minutes making a post when you lost one game of Nexus Blitz""

Well, as I just mentioned, it is not fun to either win OR lose a game like this, and other unfair advantages consistently happens all the time in this game and it is not fun. I want to have some sort of control how the game will go. If the game is just going to be a "Random Win Generator" I can just fucking go flip a coin or something, because atleast that is more consistent.

and then the is the issue that Teemo shrooms and Jhin traps stay on the field between fights.

overall there are certainly issues.. but its still MUCH more fun that rift

Its a new thing that wasnt there the last time so its probably bugged to shit.

Stuff was like that the last time i played it too.

Will take a long long time before bugs are sorted out since its a new mode, dont hold any expectations, at all except that.

I didn't get to participate in my first prize fight.

I saw a Kled go into a prize fight unmounted because he was low when the event started.

It's an awesome event but it's got some kinks.

Must have used death recap logic.

Pika Fox12/7/2018, 6:40:55 AM4 votes

First round is 2v2, winner wins that round.

Next round is another 2v2. If the group that won the first round also wins this round, the last remaining member has to kill the remaining members and the last member solo to win as a come back. If not, it proceeds to the last 1v1.

Winner of the 1v1 wins. Prior matches give you an edge into the 1v1.

The only issue i have ever had with this is when it expected me to 1v1 a darius as an alistar. :s But i was the highest XP member of the team at the time and possibly highest gold.

I have fun in Nexus Blitz tho. Less bullshit than in SR. There are some bugs and they need to be fixed tho. Once the enemy turret hated me and even tho I was no longer under the turret it was still shooting me and killed me xd I actually didn't know what was killing me, I was under my turret trying to survive xd xd

You simply can't miss a game-changing ult

I’m gonna need to make a differential equation to solve for what point you’re trying to make with this point.

Psi2112/7/2018, 2:28:19 PM2 votes

Nexus Blitz isn't fun and I can't believe Riot wasted this much development time on another failed iteration of a hugely lopsided game because Riot Asia likes this type of crazy fast paced wacky cra-p.

Mike1703212/7/2018, 5:15:45 AM2 votes

I think Nexus Blitz is trash now.

Who thought duels were a good idea? It's sure fun as an ADC having auto loss matches against a Jax/Zed/Yas/2ShotNoSkill champ in a ring where I can't use my team or kite. "Fun".

This mode was fun last year, but it's beyond horrible this year. Every single game I have been in is a one sided snowball with zero chance of a comeback. The new events are stupid and interrupt the flow. And ADCs are again worthless.

Same thing happened in one of my games. Irelia and morde. Go in morde dies, irelia survives and wins, she's removed but she's still on the field and invunerable and not targetable. Then khazix and myself I die, kha wins, kha stays for some reason then the enemy kha comes in an blows up the <1/4 health kha then blows up our last teammate, ryze so they win dispite us clearly winning more but whatever. Then our turret glitched and would track people far outside it's range, not actually firing but following, and we had "perma true sight" on people even though nothing was causing it.

first rendition is rough

it should go until one side has no players left

final match should be full hp restore

also if you're singed or amumu with your gas/tears on you'll have no mana

They should refill everyone's resources and reduce their cd's before each round

Jashindo12/6/2018, 10:28:00 PM2 votes

Sure, when has the PBE been used for proper testing before?

Cosmic Khan12/7/2018, 1:35:55 AM2 votes

Mana doesn't replenish when going in either. I went in with my teammate, Anivia, who had 2% mana...

Beerstein12/10/2018, 1:34:49 AM1 votes

Pretty sure the only thing that matters is who wins the last fight.

Summonah1236912/6/2018, 10:13:52 PM1 votes

Also I was rapidly losing health in the mini URF mode despite noone procing any health draining abiltity on me and I was barely near the wall.

floo12/7/2018, 6:38:31 AM1 votes

Well where do you think they should test this sort of stuff? Definetly not on Public Skin Environment.

KingBlackthorn112/7/2018, 8:38:16 AM1 votes

Dude, it is in testing. Chill the fck down. Like bugs, or gameplay stuff is still being worked out.

realnoob12/7/2018, 8:44:54 AM1 votes

Basically, the last duel actually decides the event. The other 2 duels just decide how the last duel is carried out (if it will be 1v1, 1v2 (+1), or any other stuff). they expect that since the your team won 2 rounds, you should be able to kill the last person. the last duel if 1v1 is usually between the people with the most gold (regardless of whether they actually buy items or just leave it in their bank).

RonryTeemo12/7/2018, 4:07:22 PM1 votes

I will be submitting a bug report and anyone else should do the same.. One of our teammates didn't get to fight, I got stuck staying in after the round we won and i had like 30% hp left. Surprisingly still won but definitely bugged/not working as intended.

Rabbi Shekelberg12/7/2018, 6:20:45 PM1 votes

are these players stupid?

Saianna12/7/2018, 8:04:32 PM1 votes

That what happens when you forgo testing what you relase in hopes noone will notice blatant errors or bugs. That's shitty game making that is currently dominating whole gaming industry. Make feedback? No, noone reads feedback anymore. It's just empty argument. A "PR shield" that can deflect any criticism.

Ęsdeath12/7/2018, 9:09:25 PM1 votes

Wanna talk about the fact you go in a 2v2 and 1v1 "matchups" without getting your cooldowns reset so you can actually have a fair chance of winning?

TisBis12/8/2018, 8:56:34 PM1 votes

Teemo and Kennen are on the same team but Kennen took dmg from Teemo ult??
