Nexus Blitz should be Permanent

It is quite obvious how much Nexus Blitz is loved by the majority of the community. It revived a lively, fun spirit that League has been missing for a while. Now, why would Riot remove it is beyond me. People are enjoying it, they are pouring time and spending money, and everybody is having a good time. The mode is sustainable, it is not buggy, and it does not affect anyone in any negative way. I want to understand why Riot would take away such a beautiful game mode while leaving Twisted Treeline, which nobody plays, online. Is it a marketing strat to push players back into SR, or ???? I genuinely do not understand why they took it down :/

I would be hard pressed to claim that it's loved by a majority of the community. I encountered a good chunk of people who thought otherwise, and were only playing for the missions.

I personally didn't like the mode, because like pretty much just like URF, it had horrible inconsistencies and favored specific champions over others. A lot of champs were shit useless in the mode, and actively set your team behind if you picked them, because a large deal of the events are geared towards burst and assassins. It felt unfair, and lots of people were starting to lock into a certain meta of "play these or lose." So as long as the game mode is lopsided and favoring of certain champs over others, I'd rather not have it in permanent rotation. Dominion was more balanced than this, and I'd rather have it return than deal with URF Lite.

preach it, baby

it was just a test, they gathered all the information like bugs, people's suggestions and etc. now they gonna take some time to improve this game mode. Personally i'd like to see a better map construction, make it bigger, put few more details, manage the events from chaotic to one way order. So basically all we can do now is just wait. I'd give it 1 month, but knowing Riot its probably gonna take more than that.

I couldn't even play it to do the missions. It has been a while since I played ARAM but I still prefer ARAM over Nexus Blitz. I might like Nexus Blitz more if it didn't have the random events. I am not a fan of URF, I am not a fan of random 2v2's on a Support champion vs two combat ready champions with a lot of mobility, I am not a fan of any of the battle royale games ever made, and I am not a fan of permanent nocturne ults during a battle royale.

I would probably like the game mode a little bit more if they got rid of ALL of the random events. Only then will I might play it over ARAM since you can pick your own champion and the map is more dynamic.

I have never played it after I completed all the missions because the matchmaking was unbearable. [zombie-brand-mindblown]

Or, in other words, "Nexus Blitz permanent"?

Hey its fun dont get me Wrong, But its not Fun when either you or the other team gets Steamrolled, Rarely have i gone the full 20 Mins and Had a Great Game where both teams were good and it Came down to the Wire. I would say Maybe 1 outta 5 Games Were Close. If not Less
