Last hitting the nexus and getting 50g, or...

dedpup··2 votes·1,566 views

So im playing Sivir and my team is in their last push to the nexus, we are at the enemy base and I last hit the nexus and get 50g this was a small joke put in by Riot and one day I thought what if instead of 50 worthless gold that you can't spend why not give the guy/gal that last hits the nexus 50 influence points eh? I personally think that this would be a neat incentive rather than holding off on ending the game so you corale the enemy team in their fountain like sheep poking them until the minions end it for you. Why not? Imma leave a straw poll below if you are interested. :) EDIT: someone gave the idea a little while after this was posted that it gave 5 or 10 IP instead of 50 so that ADC's are not getting a somewhat large amount of IP every game when it was unnecessary towards how they played and more on how they built and it would frankly be unfair, a couple people noticed this and I think lowering the amount is a good compromise while still keeping the incentive of a reward that means more than just gold you can't spend TY for your feedback.

As someone who doesn't play ADC, I can say this is a bad idea.

Other players don't have the attack speed necessary to have a chance at securing that 50 ip. 90% of games, the ADC will get the 50 bonus IP for no reason. Bonus IP should go to the MVP, or even a roulette wheel of chance that assigns it to a random member of the winning team.

So in essence, if I want champion/rune/store item X, I'm just going to build attack speed to try and last hit, or just dance around the nexus and wait to get the last hit for that 50 ip.

Alright. So everyone that hits the nexus in the 5 seconds before it was destroyed gets 25 IP. Now how do we feel?

It's still unnecessary. The 50g from the Nexus is just a joke and you're all taking it seriously, demanding more

It's been a long, close game, and both sides have at least one inhibitor down, but the tides are starting to turn in favour of Purple.

Purple is sieging hard into the nexus turrets, while Blue pokes, dances, and mostly just tries to stay in the fight. Or, at least, 4 of Blue are doing that. And they're doing a decent job of making themselves feel like an all-out defensive line in a losing battle. Blue's Yi, though, is pushing top for all he's worth, desperately hoping his teammates can keep the enemy at bay (and distracted) long enough to pull this off.

If the plan is successful, who deserves to be rewarded? The key player who AA the nexus? Or the key players who created the opportunity for Yi to get anywhere near the nexus?

What about people that stop ports while someone backdoors? Granted a team should be smarter than to leave their nexus unguarded, but what if the team has a Tryndamere? Can't leave the tank there because he can't deal enough damage, can't leave the squishy because Trynd will survive longer and either kill them and end the game or just plain end the game, and can't leave multiple because then you'll be 3v5 trying to take the enemy nexus giving them the chance to kill them and push to end.

People that stopped the ports helped too, else Trynd could be 5v1'd, CC'd and killed before he could end.

the point you bring up is true (that ad's will get it most of the time like the 50g thing Riot has rn), but there is always the off chance that someone without attack speed or ad like that Super Galaxy Rumble who won lane and carried really well, will feel so much better if or when he gets the last hit rather than 50 worthless gold, all in all there are problems to everything and if Riot implements this then they can think a way to make it fair for that good old Rumble main (i use rumble as an example alot bc he builds Ap and has some of the lowest AS/lvl in the game) your feedback is always helpful but this concept was just for fun like the 50g thing rn but more applicable

I'm a gold ol' Rumble main, and I've carried a lot of games with him and let me tell you... he never gets that last hit on the Nexus. He drops his ult by the fountain like a good little boy to keep them at bay while Master Yi hits the nexus a million times per second and gets that last hit without a chance for anyone else.

so pretty much give a free 50 IP to ADCs and champs that build tons of AD or can destroy structures with ease... would be nice if there was equal chance of everyone getting the IP but you should know that's not the case, not even close

dedpup1 votes

it is true that even if the ADC that game builds dmg and attack speed then gets carried to the nexus and last hits it because of what they built that game and had good stats for getting structures, then they don't deserve it but on the off chance that your Super Galaxy Rumble top, who won lane and carried like hell got the last hit (which has happened to me on a couple of occasions but not in that example specifically) then it would definitely be more rewarding than something without legitimate value like 50g in a game you just ended. Thank you for your thoughts though this is the first time i've attempted to engross myself in the community in a format like this and feedback is always great for getting the most out of your message :) this was just a thought off the top of my head that seemed interesting enough to bring to the community

I never knew that the nexus give you gold. Dang thx 4 info bro :)

dedpup1 votes

np it shows up somewhat often in the Did you know: thingamabobber in the loading screen, what are your thoughts on changing that gold to IP though given that is the intention of the post?

disregardable1 votes

It might actually give people some god damn incentive to group...

dedpup1 votes

ty, yea I think if people could get a reward out of pushing to the nexus and getting the last hit on it faster rather than messing around bc they KNOW they can win this game and go for a completely unnecessary baron, some IP on the off chance you get the last hit would be neat :)

Dr Poro1 votes

I think that a good reason to kill the nexus fast would be really nice. But, as others have stated, an ADC would have way more chance of getting it compared to a support. Maybe 5 IP? Just to keep the fun factor?

dedpup1 votes

maybe lowering the amount would be a better idea ty! i said previously that if Riot implemented this concept they would be able to balance it and I think lowering the amount as you mentioned would help ty very much for the feedback ^_^

I don't think anyone cares about the straw poll XD or i just don't know how to view the results, can someone help me out?
