I feel like certain modes in Nexus Blitz should fully reset your character.

Prize fight, as an example, is a cool idea and a lot of fun, but I hate that you can go in to a 2v1 and feed kills hard because you blew your 100 second CD 30 seconds before you realized Prize fight was coming up. Also the fact that you get killed a second before the Bardle Royale but because you die to the ignite two seconds after them, the Bardle Royale is now a 4v5.

It really sucks because it incentives you to spend the last 30 seconds either not fighting or farming jungle mobs for a quick item before the event. And yeah, I get that it's the strategy of the mode but man does it feel shitty. I personally think it'd be better for Nexus Blitz events to reset all CDs and health pools right as the event begins, so as to put everyone on an even footing. (And maybe even encourage you to keep fighting just before the event.)

Oh yeah: TURN OFF NEUTRAL MOBS FOR THESE MODES. Hate that people can totally circumvent the difficulty of buff/scuttle fights when you can just mash Q and turn Golem into pebbles. Plus the absolute cheese of grabbing herald and sending it down a lane during Bardle Royale so the enemy can't actually deal with it.

Yeah I am kind of leaning towards Herald shouldn't be in the game mode. This isn't like Dom as a supposed to be faster game mode where it tended to be short but could go fairly long in really tight games; it is artificially capped to end at like 20-21 minutes max. I just don't see the point in even having a baron herald available to cheese with.

Also URF is kind of broken as an event and has a tendency to snowball the game if one team has several more of the busted urf champs. It isn't as bad now that they have predictably overnerfed DH to the point where they need to revert or replace it(lux, ez, or yi coming out of urf first event with the 40-80 DH plus like 12-15 stacks on fire was gg) but it still tends to impact the game more than other events.

i would rather it be a dragon that just gives team gold. herald giving baron buff to minions in this mode is ridiculous.

Make it a "prize dragon" that's insanely hard to take down and deals like 100-200% bonus damage to enemies on fire (to prevent cheese).

Let it drop an event reward.

I like this idea a lot, take the upvote

I kind of think the urf one shouldn't give full gold per kill or affect on-fire status, personally.

My biggest gripe are traps. At the start of each round of the prize fight mode, traps should disappear. It's stupid watching the enemy team lose because they walked into a teemo mushroom that was placed before the prize fight even started... or walking into a caitlyn trap and getting rooted/revealed when you're not even against Caitlyn.

I just wish that prize fight would let you spend gold when you're waiting your turn. Sometimes you just don't get the opportunity to go back in the 30 seconds before the prize fight pops.

i just dont like stepping on 5 teemo shrooms/shaco boxes/ heimer turrets form the last round during the prize fight event.

I sorta disagree about resetting cooldowns, they give you a warning 30 seconds in advance where you should avoid using important cooldowns, in fact you should just base and spend gold before events. Also I'm pretty sure they're always at the same time in game (dunno when, every 5 min I think?) so it becomes an important decision if you have long cooldowns on whether to use them in between events if you can get towers, or save them for the upcoming event.

Yeah I don't think a full reset would be good bc people would then just blow all their CDs before the event, but I'd like it if they gave you a reset for the event then put your CDs back to where they were before the event.

I agree with you, but I like how it is now. Because there is more strategies, you have to save your ult and important spells for the event.

The two thing that I don't like of nexus blitz are:

  1. When there is urf and prize fight they have to clean that area, with some champ(zyra, Teemo, shack, Caitlin, Jhin) you can abuse a lot of them spells and "prepare" some traps before the begin the event. It could be a strategy, but I would like that they clean the area.
  2. The carriage is broken, it should not give untargetable or knock up the enemies.

I would like if in prize fight two level 5's couldn't face two level 6's that is just so unfair of an advantage, I've seen people have to quickly kill any minions that remain to get to that powerspike DURING the prize fight.

Yeah herald shouldnt be usable when the flaming circle is in effect or at least not damage structures during the battle royale, people could still use it to push a lane while fighting but not get free towers from it without a possible response.

I had all of these thoughts while I played today. Glad to know I'm not alone :)

You should also be able to buy before it Open the store and give 10s before the fight starts to give the first players a chance to buy.

I'd prefer if buffs like On Fire! or any permanent rewards be paused for the duration of Urf/Prize Fight and then restored afterwards (not quite fair to either party.

in Prize Duels, the players fighting the On Fire champ have to deal with 2x-3x the champ strength with very little reprocussion (the extra damage taken is absolutely tiny, even assassins are pretty much never able to kill OnFire targets outside of these modes). to the same merit, Urf mode usually guarentees champs gaining and losing On Fire which can really ruin hard-fought leads or make a stompy game even more impossble to win depending on who gets lucky or who has more abusable champ picks.

It'd be nice to enter a "Time out" phase for these couple of duel-specific events especially..

Prize fight should also level up any players to level 6 that are not level 6 already.

Not fun fighting people who are level 6/7 when you're level 5.

I definitely think that I should be allowed to buy items while I'm waiting for my turn in Prize Fight

Leto GT1 votes

I would suggest a restricted champ reset so that once the events you mention end, you still have the cooldowns + hp and mana that you had before the event started. I would also appreciate being able to buy items while the event is loading and while we're waiting.

I think for most events, if you don't want to back and shop, that's on you.

But I would agree with putting all minions and monsters (including an already summoned herald) into stasis while outside the circle during Bardle Royale.

Also agree with removing traps from the fight area at the beginning of each round of Prize Fight.

Long CD ults are a trickier issue, I think a reset would feel unfair to people who won't benefit from it like Jayce Nidalee Elise Udyr . Especially if they already had to fight you when you had ult 10 seconds ago.

Maybe they could give a timer to the next event all the time, but only reveal what that event is at T minus 30 seconds. Then you could still know "if I use this now I won't get it back in time".
