Nexus Blitz was the most fun I ever had playing League.

The recent Teamfight Tactics announcement (this) just got me thinking about Nexus Blitz and how fun it was.

I still enjoy the game even after almost 6 seasons, but Nexus Blitz was so much fun and it's all I ever think about, I wish it would come back. The gamemode was cut for a reason and I understand that, but I always felt like with a little bit of tuning it could have shaped up very nicely. At the very least I wish we had the option to play it in customs.

Not really sure why I made this post, I guess it's a weird mix between a rant and an appreciation post.

######just let me be sad ok?

I miss NB so much....it had the fast-paced fun of aram but with the ability to choose a champ. Laning phase wasn't nearly as long or boring.... item 3070

I hated Nexus Blitz at first but I grew to love it. They really need to come out with something new (that isn't this autochess nonsense) or bring back rotating game modes.

The money is in e-sports, look at the missions, they're all "go gather us ad revenue" this is a new game (not game mode lol) they can monetize on. As a bonus, they stole the design from the creators AND are releasing it before the creators. They got this down.

Notice the creators of the other announced they were going to release it, then out of the blue riot was like "we made this, we're releasing it like right now! Also, it's in beta and a work in progress" I bet it's a really rough forced release to be the first to release a game they didn't design.

Fun is secondary to profits. That said, the release is clearly an aggressive business tactic, which is smart, but it must really suck for the ones that designed the original and didn't have the $$$ to release it fast enough.

Then maybe you should play something else. People who actually enjoy league didnt play nexus blitz enough for riot to care about it. Nexus blitz was more like HOTS.

Dominion was the true peak of league. You and the lads playing some fast pace low pressure Dominion just having a good time.

Nexus blitz just wasn't really my style.

I could never get behind URF. It's too much of a broken mess for me in particular, just my opinion. Nexus was the perfect blend of insanity and stability, and aside from that fucking sled the game was my preferred game for the longest time.

Since playing from 2012, Nexus Blitz has been by far the most fun I’ve ever had. Yet they replace it with this garbage mode... so terrible.
