[Nexus Blitz] The nexus INT event is really stupid

churdd·Aug 26, 2018·1 votes·1,387 views

We had aced them and were taking down the last turret. Death timers all > 20s. Suddenly the event starts and the nexus comes to life as a tank with a huge health bar and we can't kill it in time. They all respawn and since we lost 2 in the last fight they kills us 5v3. Meanwhile our nexus is running it down mid and walks into their base. They easily kill our nexus with 5 while we have 40s death timers.

It feels really bad to be within seconds of winning the game and then get ass blasted by BS RNG.

This actually sounds like a bug - to my understanding the nexuses are supposed to meet in the middle and duke it out between themselves.

I just watched the replay. We aced them at 17:35. We had harold so we popped it at 17:45. We take the inner turret and inhibitor and reach the nexus turret at 18:00 right as the nexus minion spawns. Harold charges the now useless nexus turret and kills it. It then proceeds to attempt to attack the real nexus while we attack the nexus minion. The enemy jax has 10s left on his death timer while the others have 25s+. The nexus attacks us around the enemy nexus tower remains while our nexus walks down mid towards us. We get their nexus down to ~3k HP before we all die. The nexuses meet at their downed inhibitor.

You will ALWAYS get walking nexus event around the 17:30 mark of nexus blitz, games are meant to be fun sub 20 min games. Be prepared for the event and you wont have to worry.

I've won with it many times but it even feels bad to win with it. And especially if the game was gonna end faster without the event anyway
