The Main Issue with Nexus Blitz

Riot, this mode is fun, IT IS VERY FUN.

But there is a massive issue within it currently. In close to 60% of the games I've played so far there has been an afk (either at the start of the game or coming off of their first death). To be able to test this mode properly people need to be able to go into a game and not have their jungle partner leave before any camps spawns, you guys just need to punish leavers harder to actually get results from this test because this mode with an afk is less winnable than ARAM (and therefore less fun).

Since i started playing Nexus Blitz i've seen no one afk. Same with my normals/ranked or any other game mode. I've rarely seen any afk tbh.

AFKers need to be permabanned imho.

They also need to nerf shit like Xerath Heimerdinger

Doubt they'll change much on the afk situation since they've yet to make any actual strides to fix the problem (it's inherently unfixable since there's no way to know what happened)

but they definitely should balance out the events. It felt like a coin toss as to which side the event was happening on. One king of the hill was literally on our side of the map next to spawn, how is the enemy supposed to contest that lol

this issue is the same with normals, afk'ers ruin the game

I've seen, at most... one afk. Just one. Of course everyone can have different experiences, and I could always be one of the "lucky" ones. But I can't see it being the main issue of the mode.

I've had an AFK in nearly every game I've played, sometimes even 2 in one match.

Also, a major problem is that the Bardle Royale circle almost always closes in onto a really one-sided area. I was 1v5ing during Bardle Royale as Nocturne and killed two of the enemies, and since it closed in on our jungle turret, it killed the other three and my team won. I would prefer a much more even circle.

9 4v5s in a day, its a pain in the ass.
