Remove blessing of cait from nexus blitz

noodlebot·Sep 5, 2018·7 votes·4,349 views

I've been playing a lot of nexus blitz recently because I really enjoy shorter gamemodes like ARAM, but don't like being stuck with champs I don't want to play. I don't have a problem with literally any other event reward, but blessing of caitlyn is the most frustrating thing. Getting half healthed as a squishy by a nearly unavoidable cait ult coming from minions feels really bad, and the range feels way too large. I was in my jungle UNDER TOWER and a cannon cait minion somehow hit me from under our t1. I get that the buffs are a reward for winning events, and literally any other buff is manageable but BO is frustrating and not fun to play against.

Honorable mention to the bug that causes the ult to lock on to an enemy champ and doesn't fire, but tracks them across the map with the line*[slayer-jinx-unamused]*

I had a game where (thankfully) I was on the team w/ Blessing of Caitlyn. The poor Trist on the other team got a triple shot of it right before we pushed the nexus down. I got a video clip of it on one of my threads here in Gameplay.

I gotta go get another clip. I didn't see it happen, but at the end of another game, there were many supers at their base, they just won an event (iirc), get back to their base to protect it, and you hear the Cait ult no less than 6 times. I think they FF after that

It certainly needs to not be game long (Or Cranks for that matter). Maybe let turrets keep it all game long but minions only spawn with it for the next 2-3 minutes?

in fact I wish a lot of the 'permanent' blessings couldn't happen for the first 2 events. They make certain events not happen for awhile, particularly the battle royale variants. Why not do that with events too?

exactly! later in the game would be better, but it's still really dumb that in order to either not die or be half healthed, you either need to block it with a tank (as if anyone plays anything but assassins) or use zhonya's. Using a item with that long of a cooldown in a gamemode so short poses a problem too. Maybe even CDR on zhonya's could make it more reasonable to deal with

I play mostly tanks and mages. Assassins are overrated. A well fed tank will destroy a well fed assassin the first time he is caught

people don't play tanks not because it isn't strong but rather because its antifun

That logic doesn't track because assassins are anti-fun. Its a great deal of fun to just walk through 4 other people yelling C'MERE BITCH at the carry, rather than wait for them to step out of position enough so i can delete them and get out safely

When riot force you to play Yasuo because of 2 cann + tower ult you. They could turn the cait effect into an amumu effect (with 2 min of duration like doom bots). At least is damage overtime but you can play without losing too much hp in one hit.

Caitlyn is trash and would be gutted even more with the removal of her ultimate on Nexus Blitz. item 3070

I particularly don't like the idea of permanent perks. As much as I love the perks like Catapult of Champions it shouldn't be permanent. As with Blessing of Blitzcrank and Caitlyn.

They're great to have to but the advantage starts to accumulate when get them so early in the game.

Blessing of Kha'Zix needs to go as well.

Blessing of Blitzcrank needs to respect enemy minions. Being hooked through your own minions is complete bullshit.

I agree. This blessing is really stupid to deal with. I don't like my health getting chunked every 30 seconds or so from a thousand miles away.

The funny thing is, Blessing of Caitlyn does a lot of damage to even tanks... I was playing Nautalius, and had a bunch of armor. It was mid/late game. I got aimed by a Blessing of Caitlyn, then when the bullet was about to hit, I used my shield to block it.

What happened was, the bullet pierced my shield and hit my for 20 - 25% of my hp.
