The PIck behavior in Nemesis draft is horrible

falldown010·Aug 20, 2016·1 votes·971 views

there is always atleast one player who has to go full support, if you pick something off meta, or not a support they dodge

Alistar is banned ? Skip Jenna,soraka,sona isnt banned ? guess what champs you get Someone gave them skarner ? oh let me just skip

its sad to see people dodge because they expect the enemy to give them good picks, after you give them a support like the majority of my matches have been full of supports, or meta picks, and when i pick something off meta 60% of the time someone dodges, or starts to rage/argue in chat about

I Saw a guy in 3 games in a row, who always gave them support, and always tried so hard to convice the team, lets give them supports and his plan backfired, they gave us even more useless supports, in the end, this guy started to rage in chat, Noob champs...

he picked those "noob champs himself" ..

so whats your experience so far ?

Ive played allot of nemesis draft and never gotten sona... If someone gets sona and is complaining, then they don't understand sona lol.... Sona is a monster. If she power cords and Q an adc at the beginning of the match, the Adc health drops to half immediately. Ive even seen people play her mid... and carry a game... I would be happy to get sona in nemesis lol. Soraka is good, but if you are behind she feels useless, and I assume Janna is the same way. I honestly love nemesis draft. It makes me play champs I wouldn't otherwise and I enjoy it. I have not seen this rage you are talking about in my 5 games.... Nor have I seen sona, but I did see allot of Yorik, Xerath and Alerion Sol... oh and Janna...

galio , amumu,nunu kindred, and a leona was my most unfavorable match so far we got destroyed so badly, once someone was caughtn they would unleash their ults

As former-but-still-sort-of-support main, I love nemesis draft. I get so many fun supports to chose from ;)

I don't think its about giving them supports.

Its about shit comps. shit like Aatrox AurelionSol Zac Udyr Singed

Yeah. I don't get why people don't, for example, just give the enemy a whole bunch of AD autoattackers (not ADCs, those might get out of control), then get a thornmail and plenty of armor on everybody.

Your combo is also quite nice... but I'd argue Zac and Singed can do plenty to annoy your team, while Aatrox and Udyr can deal the damage. I mean, in a regular game, yeah, this would be horrible. But keep in mind your team is going to be pretty bad, too.

lol well Zac and Singed could split push for sure. But the comp in itself is garbage. Aatrox is simply the most awful champ in the game currently, and I don't see much synergy in that comp.

But in the end, it doesn't really mean much because like you said: I'm getting the same crap.

The answer is simple, because the enemy team WILL give you supports in return then proceed to slaughter you so you never even make it to your first armor item. This game mode requires a little more integrity from the community, and I think we all know that's not gonna happen.

That would actually be a really scary comp to face IMO. But maybe that's just because I hate singed

Nemesis draft is unique in the fact that Riot actually expects some integrity from the players. Yeah, you don't want to give them a great comp obviously, but I don't think 5v5 supports was what they had in mind either. The problem is that nobody is ever willing to give other stuff. I've only lost 2 games of nemesis so far, and those 2 games were the ones where I convinced my team that if we gave some non-supports maybe the other team would reciprocate.

I was wrong.
