this gamemode is basically in pbe state where riot knows it has glitches and bugs. using bugs on the pbe is "fine" because riot can fix them. but how is this handled in nexus blitz which is in pbe state, but is on the live servers?

and its not even like you "abuse" some bugs, some just happen without even knowing. for example i didnt know that using mordes w on the crab in the race event makes it go super fast and freak out. we won the event pretty easy because of this and altho im sure i wont play mordekaiser ever again in nexus blitz, if i would, i'd use that glitch again. it looks fun and it helps. (also i shared this glitch because cmon, everyone knows morde breaks anything he touches)

and lets not forget youtubers like vandiril are pretty entertaining and helpful for riot, but in the end they also share (and usually explain how to do) the glitches.

so yea can you get banned for it?

Bug handling is always a touchy subject. Some are harmless, some are game breaking. So are harmless to use and others kill everything. Usually, if you accidentally use a bug it isn't a big deal.

As for your example with the scuttle; I do not believe that is a bug. The scuttles are on the teams and as such should be able to recieve buffs. So a Nunu Blood Boil should also speed it up, same as Lulus Whimsey (I think right spell).

Honestly, since it's a beta, people are going to find and exploit bugs. It's like when the NFL refs went on strike a few years back: Defensive players were able to get more touchy because they knew the scab refs wouldn't be able to catch it as easily as the regular refs would. The players would actually work on getting fouled in practice. Riot will (hopefully) fix these bugs, but I understand the doubts. They took forever to get Zoe to a remotely tolerable power level, so my faith with them is really low lol.

Besides, the winner of nexus blitz is determined by which team gets pissed off quicker. It is not determined by skill.

I would say no.

The game is on alpha state, so bugs are bound to happen for sure.
