The Nexus is waaaay to important and needs a nerf

Every single game I play, whoever gets the nexus first wins, I'm not kidding, can you remember a time when a match wasn't decided by who got the enemy nexus. It's that way in every single LCS game in history too.

I'm tired of this "Nexus meta' where whoever gets the nexus is guaranteed a win.

Seriously, EVERY champion's win rate is the percentage of games in which they are on the team that gets the first nexus.

It's so extremely powerful, in fact, that whenever the nexus is destroyed, the team that destroys it immediately wins, right on the spot!

No objective in this game should be this powerful, and the nexus needs to be gutted.

Ugh, typical "it's broken in LCS so it needs to be gutted" argument. In solo queue, a lot of games end without the nexuses taking a single hit. You can win by getting a ton of kills early game, then you don't even have to hit the nexus.

New Game mode for the random game mode???

"Last man standing" Once the nexus is destroyed no more champions can respawn and victory will consist of killing the nexus then all the enemy players.

When we do that, can we fix the whole when one side wins the other loses as well? That's really annoying.

I agree, some of this power should be at least moved to Krugs. No one touches them anymore, after they began spreeding like a virus. This would make people want to kill them, giving the power of auto win to them. It would be much more fair to both teams, here's why

At the beginning of the game, both teams have access to Krugs. This means that feeding teammates wouldn't be a problem, as both teams would have 0 deaths and 0 kills.

I can't be bothered to keep going on with this meme

Fun fact: The nexus doesn't actually have a 100% winrate.

If you surrender before landing the final blow on the nexus, but land the last blow in the short period before the surrender vote actually goes through, both nexuses explode (and the team that surrendered loses because theirs blows up second).

I agree, we should cut the 50 free gold down to 25!

I've got a great idea everyone

At the start of the game, one of the two Nexuses spontaneously combust, making games shorter and less team dependent!!!!

Hooray for 0 min games!!!!

I believe that the nexus gives far too much gold. To balance it properly, we should make the nexus give 8 less gold. I believe this is a fair and reasonable nerf.

its like a game of chess, you can take all the enemies pieces but as long as they still have a king theres still a chance to win. what makes league fun is being able to cheese a victory

I had to /ff because taking the enemy nexus was just too OP, and then our nexus threw.

Patch 7.14: Nexuses now spawn 3 more mini-nexuses when destroyed. Each of those spawns 3 more. We just think the game is too short as it is and need to make each game a 90 minute time-wasting ordeal of attacking a crystal for literally no reason of all.

We have 5 players per team but only 1 Nexus per team. That's not only bad design but also makes me question the math skills at Riot games. Give every member their own Nexus. And make it so that we can take away the Nexus from teammates if they suck. I'm tired of losing because my boosted botlane is not able to defend the Nexus.

i got some advice

git gud then maybe you will get the nexus first and win im so tired of this "ugh X is to powerful rito pls nerf" stuff its annoying

You know if this was on gameplay it would be a way better meme. Now it lost some of its spice.

If the enemy surrenders right after your nexus is destroyed, you can win

Slap on 90% damage reduction, THAT will create the necessary commitment to such an important tool.

Dat Kat6/24/2017, 7:45:01 PM1 votes

Let alone the fact that the turrets always get in your way and shoot at you when you're trying to destroy them, like wtf riot.

Hellpyre6/24/2017, 8:14:16 PM1 votes

Actually, you used to be able to lose after the enemy team's Nexus was destroyed. Buffing it by getting rid of that feature was was pushed Nexus to overpowered.

This made me wonder is it possible for both sides to kill the nexus at the same time
