12 min games, nice and quick

No pressure win or lose

Very URF like with shortened ult cooldowns and massive gold generation

I love Bloodmoon, it's my favorite RGM by faaaar (Talon main lol...)

Personally I'd love to see Riven Pantheon Camille Kennen all removed, because getting stunned and insta-bursted from stealth is the most asdjkfadskjl;ohpqtnddganadbpnioqaio stupid thing in existence in this game but hey lol

Also I'd like Ahri to go since she's a kite mage and has her BS E to use when stealthed, but at least she plays more like an assassin. And for the love of god I don't even mind Yasuo in general but PPLLLLEEEAAAASE don't pick him on Blood Moon (yet another non-assassin champion). Unlike the 5 above though, Yasuo can't really stun from stealth, in fact he DOWNRIGHT SUCKS in this gamemode. He needs to be able to use his E on minions and doesn't burst even remotely near as quickly as... any other option actually. Sooo freaking bad.

Wow so now that I've done nothing but complain, here's what I like:

The buff... You feel so fantastic, so powerful and great. Other than being stunned from stealth, it just is fun in general, even if the enemies have it. It is an objective, and one you risk quite a bit to achieve. You can get it reasonably (especially if you are good at killing), and it feels like appropriate compensation for the trouble you go to. It IS possible to survive, if not even kill someone who has the buff too if you're actually better, which feels quite nice.
Limited itemization. Fuck this shit. Seriously. . I play it myself on SR in normals, it deals ridiculous damage, is insanely sticky, and you just never freaking die. THANK YOU RIOT for not allowing this kind of bullshit build on a gamemode specifically for assassins.
The fact that only assassins (other than above 6^^) are available. It just fits the theme. No stupid running around countering people because HURRDURR, no tanks building full damage and being better than the actual assassins. I know some people hate the gamemode specifically for this reason, but NOT having to run into building full AP or something (because items are limited) is just nice. It might be funny, but having all assassins doesn't completely ruin the game for someone else just because they got beaten in champ select.
Gold generation. As long as you play better and get heralds, minions, and kills throughout the game you don't insta-lose because Talon got a double at level four. You still have a chance. No snowballing, other than getting bloodmoon buff. And it is absolutely needed... imagine the miserable hell these games would be with all these feast/famine champs running around LOL!
Heralds are nice. Provide very nice amount of points, are incredibly risky, and require teamwork/coordination
The fact that wards, including are still available. Vision wins games, no exceptions. And this ESPECIALLY helps teach people how to play as/against assassins, which I feel is good for the game in general. Enemy team has a ? Maybe you shouldn't walk into that unwarded bush?!? Also teaches people trying to learn assassins that the unwarded jungles are just as dangerous for you as the enemy team, even if you do have escape tools. Map awareness should ALWAYS be important, and I feel like this gamemode really rewards/punishes it
Shortened cooldowns. When you're playing an assassin, your ult is the most fun part of your kit/has the most kill potential. Having it available to you is just more fun in general.
Time is fantastic. No pressure is also great
How stupid it feels sometimes. Bronzie teamfights even if you're playing with Diamonds. And like holy crap... how'd I die that fast???? I can't even be mad... and then I did it to someone else XD !!

Honestly I'd like Bloodmoon more if Shaco didn't exist in it and the Blookmoon Buff gave people proximity stealth instead of true stealth. Those are the only changes I'd make to it.

Seriously though, who thought it was a good idea to add Shaco to the mode? His stealth blink is ridiculous, his boxes are cancer in physical form as a squishy assassin vs other assassins, and his ult is annoying. I'd be more than happy if they swapped Shaco for Xin or Yi instead. Also why isn't LeBlanc in this mode? I'm not a LeBlanc player, but isnt she suppose to be an assassin too?

Summoners rift is actually in a fairly balanced state atm.

Reasons I like blood moon:

Assassins actually get to assassinate without locket + redemption + exhaust + aoe hard cc because you showed up.

Matchmaking is completely shit but so is summoner's rift matchmaking however I don't have to wait 5 minutes for the exact same shitty matchmaking.

You feel strong!

Reasons I hate blood moon. Pretty mindless in terms of what to do. Wish rift herald wasn't so polarizing. I wish we would have something to do about shaco because as it stands he basically rules the mode and you cannot contest him.
