I feel like Camille was only allowed in this game mode because she's new

She literally has knife legs

Still doesn't stick out as much as Pantheon

NewGuy101Feb 10, 20176 votes

bro, pantheon is really good on this map. He puts the skill in "I have a lock on spear and a lock on stun that negates any enemy skill". I already got an S with him in this mode.

Kennen Let me just chain-stun your team into next month while I DPS you.

"assassins"

DaNinadFeb 9, 201710 votes

Kha zix isn't an assassin but Yasuo is.

ModAcademy KaynFeb 9, 201710 votes

To be fair, KhaZix's damage is limited by the Isolation mechanic, which is meant to be countered by having a Team. In a game mode where it's all about Solo assassination, you probably shouldn't include the guy who's only counterplay is to group/kill him first.

Chembaron YamadaFeb 10, 20174 votes

Kha'Zix is allowed in the blood moon map, at least the wiki says so.

ModAcademy KaynFeb 10, 20174 votes

Ah, then there lacks a problem for me to explain. Sick.

Glory ln DeathFeb 10, 20171 votes

Ironic how the most effective strategy in the "solo assassination" game mode is to group up and death ball as a team.

YCitizenSnipsYFeb 10, 20173 votes

Kha'zix is available in the blood moon mode.

Hello I am BirdFeb 11, 20171 votes

But you can play as kha?

For Skirmishers my girl Riven isn't there, but Panth, Camille, Yas are (Yas and Riven are both skirmishers yo ;-;)

PaffWasTakenFeb 10, 20175 votes

Yasuo is built around mobility and precise critcal strike, which is almost what some assassins entirely do Riven is just a bruiser who goes YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Dives and kill everyone with more or less strategy, she dosen't fit as an assassin, skirmisher or not

Attticus FinchFeb 10, 20173 votes

Except Pantheon is there- and he's at least as brainless as she is+ probably more since literally three out of his 4 abilities are point-and-click.

Glory ln DeathFeb 10, 20171 votes

My theory is that they plan on releasing the mode with a different set of 20 similar champions every time it comes back to keep it from getting stale. Assassins, skirmishers, and divers this time, maybe divers and vanguards next time. Possibly one with pure marksmen.

It would be pretty interesting (please do this, Riot - I want invisible Sion ults).

TS MediaFeb 10, 20171 votes

2 out of 4 are point and click. And on that notion, Panth is brain dead. Riven requires at least a little bit of skill. You can pick panth up and do well on him. You can't pick Riven up and expect to do well on her.

Attticus FinchFeb 10, 20173 votes

Riven is mechanically more complex than Pantheon, but when in the context of who I was replying to, she doesn't require more thought to play.

NuparuFeb 10, 20172 votes

You cannot just go off and say Yasuo is built around outplays and Riven facerolls into people to win.

Yasuo and Riven both rely on **very **strong early game performances, which both can get from their kit mobility to outplay, to become the faceroll dive machines that they end up being in the hands of a skilled player.

LavenderStar Feb 10, 20171 votes

Her Q literally has 3 fucking escapes.. Its pretty clear that she could be an assasin in blood moon,especially without the defensive items. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

TS MediaFeb 11, 20171 votes

Her Q literally makes up most of her damage. Her DPS is significantly lower without the use of her Qs. Saying its "3 escapes" is misleading. It's 3 movement based attacks.

Sexy Jack RabbitFeb 10, 20175 votes

It's about as confusing to me as why Kennen is in the game mode. I hope in the future they'll expand it.

KingnewgameplusFeb 10, 20172 votes

Tbf kennen has a blood moon skin and plays similarly to an assassin so its not too much of a stretch.

PhoenixOfHeavenFeb 9, 20174 votes

I like people said this about Ekko A while back. And now he fits rather well. Give her time, and she cant have her time if everyone keeps banning her... :P

Chembaron YamadaFeb 9, 201734 votes

He doesn't mean that Camille doesn't fit in the game in general. He means that he thinks she is just allowed in the bloodmoon game mode because she is new.

PhoenixOfHeavenFeb 9, 20172 votes

Wait. I got that game mode was exclusively for characters with Blood Moon skins?

Chembaron YamadaFeb 10, 201718 votes

No idea why you thought that. xD

Champions not playable in bloodmoon with bloodmoon skin: Jhin Kalista Shen Thresh TwistedFate Zilean

Champions playable in bloodmoon without bloodmoon skin: Ahri Camille Ekko Evelynn Fizz Kassadin Katarina Khazix Leblanc LeeSin Pantheon Rengar Shaco Zed

PhoenixOfHeavenFeb 10, 20173 votes

Oh? Yep. Now i'm not sure either. So, it's supposed to be like, nothing but assassins? Why Panth is there is beyond me...

Chembaron YamadaFeb 10, 20177 votes

Riot picked a pool of skirmishers, assassins and aggressive divers. So it seems they consider Pantheon to be one of these "aggressive divers".

Don't know why some champions fitting these descriptions are not allowed, though. Vi is an aggressive diver in my opinion, but you can't play her there.

FawkseaFeb 10, 20172 votes

still wondering how nidalee isnt there pretty sure shes an assassin

Zherron VorseFeb 10, 20171 votes

Nocturne

FawkseaFeb 10, 20171 votes

i understand nocturne cus, without his ult is he even an assassin? though the same could go for diana and akali

deadlychuckFeb 10, 20174 votes

Kennen

ImTheSideKickFeb 10, 20172 votes

well lore wise she is a assassin...

PaffWasTakenFeb 10, 201711 votes

Well lore Wise we have an immortal star dragon who can still get killed by knife legs in the game, so I don't think rito really cares about the lore

ImTheSideKickFeb 10, 20173 votes

lore doesn't fit into game play

however lore does fit into feature modes

look at things like the harrowing or black market brawlers

DolasaurFeb 10, 20171 votes

I soooo hoped that GP was just permanently removed when he died in BMB. Would have been awesome.

Chembaron YamadaFeb 9, 20171 votes

They said that they allow slayers (so: assassins and skirmishers) and aggressive divers. Camille is a pretty aggressive diver, if you ask me.

GankedFromBehindFeb 9, 201716 votes

So where's Nocturne?

AeszarckFeb 10, 20172 votes

{quoted}

So where's Nocturne?

He'd be a good fit for the mode, the problem is that his ultimate is extremely annoying for everyone else with its really low cooldown. Darkness and screams every forty seconds, double that if there are two Nocturnes (which is somewhat likely since there would only be twenty Champions to choose from).

GankedFromBehindFeb 10, 20177 votes

Meanwhile Rengar is herding teams like cattle every so often :/

Civet10Feb 10, 20171 votes

Well its the ult, a little bit, but his w and a nights edge, with his passive healing, in a mode completely based around burst and dueling, would make him way too strong

NuparuFeb 9, 20175 votes

Then there's a lot of characters missing.

Chembaron YamadaFeb 9, 20171 votes

The only way I can imagine is that they left out specific champions because they might have an too big advantage in that game mode.

~~Got already mentioned why Kha'Zix probably isn't allowed, since this game mode is about single target assassination and he exceeds in exactly that. Would mean he could be too powerful in this mode.~~ Just looked up the list, Kha'Zix is allowed it seems. I don't the rules they decided the pool with. xD

GankedFromBehindFeb 10, 20173 votes

Rengar counters the entire point of the game mode though.

After you get 3 marks and wait a brief delay, you go invis til you auto someone. However, Rengar's ult can reveal you to the entire team.

ShirvallahFeb 9, 20171 votes

Gonna have to agree with you on this one. When I saw her at first on blood moon, I was like...

http://i1.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/facebook/000/993/875/084.png

Needless to say, I didn't have a whole lot of fun that game.

Chembaron YamadaFeb 10, 20172 votes

I really don't get why people are so confused by that. It is a game mode mostly for assassin-like characters. Look at Camille's release (the web comic, her appearance and attitude), everyone was actually expecting her to be an assassin. So why does it feel strange to see her in an assassin game mode?

Her kit is that of a diver. But the game mode includes aggressive divers too and her whole champion design is really assassin-like.

Attticus FinchFeb 10, 20174 votes

People are confused because Riots rules for what champs are included is inconsistent. Camille is an aggressive diver but hell so is Riven, and she's not in there. The game has a lot of "aggressive divers" but only a select few made it in there, seemingly at random.

LavenderStar Feb 10, 20171 votes

if they put in too many the game might not be balanced. If they take in every assasin-like champ the game can go on for ages because two champions dont completely counter eachother.

Attticus FinchFeb 10, 20171 votes

I agree with your thought-process, though frankly the mode is already unbalanced. Pantheon and Diana really should not be allowed in the mode if they're concerned with balance.
