Nexus Blitz patch notes

I really hope this mode sticks around.

Even when matches feel one-sided the speedy queue time and game time tend to make up for it. I can't wait for it to be permanant and have a cool theme (piltover/zaun?) [zombie-nunu-hearts]

Please let this mode be permanent, I don't want another Siege situation where a unique, intuitive, and fun game mode just disappears entirely.

cool but what if you gave us back dominion

Yo Riot, as a player who's abandoned Summoner's rift altogether and strictly played ARAMs, I enjoy the new map.

It better stick around.[darius-angry]

Will Ivern get a new passive for Nexus Blitz or have his normal one made to work with the camps?

If the mode sticks around, it should be shaped after Bandle City to theme around the random craziness [poppy-wink]

how about make the tutorial more informative? stuff like "first event starts at 5:00" would be super useful for people who wanna actually learn the mode.

also, maybe link a site with full descriptions for all the events and rewards, just so people can check it up and learn to play with them.

id like the game mode to stick around, although i do find that blessing of blitzcrank shouldnt be a permanent buff. it would be better as a slightly stronger buff for 90sec-3min. i also dont like how the game is supposed to be fast, but it is simply forced to end with your nexus walking itself into the enemy team after 18 mins. its frustrating if your team is ahead, but you arent as capable of defending something as the enemy team. maybe overall faster gold income would pick the pace up, especially because some people choose to just farm till theyre full build without fighting for 15 mins. i am interested in how the game we all know will be balanced for the new map, and i am extremely excited to see a brand new area! im sad i missed the bilgewater aram and i sometimes play 3v3 just for the spooky feels

This mode is the best thing you've done in a long long time. I'm not disparaging all the previous improvements, because I think they were meaningful, but this is really smart.

I think that Nexus Blitz lets you compete with more casual MOBAs while still retaining the identity of League. You could easily institute a "Quick Match" feature similar to the old Team Builder to make q times eve shorter.

I also feel like this is a good mode to teach people League with because you're always around your teammates, but it still has a lot of SR features unlike ARAM which feels completely different and is a huge cluster*#$% for new players. Blitz allows you to stick near your friends and explain what you should generally be doing (rotating to objectives, when to all in, etc.) without a huge map or them being stuck alone in a losing lane for 10min before you even get to be on the same screen.

I spent a long time away from League because my more casual friends refused to play any mode and I think all the events and stuff like that would help reassure them that it really is a casual mode where you can just have fun. (I would recommend disabling chat :P)

"We want you to be able to pick whichever champ you feel like playing and so far that seems to be the case." Why not do this for URF now since everyone hates not being able to pick their champ. Yeah everyone was complaining before that everyone was picking the same champs and you couldn't ban all the ones that you wanted to ban but now there's a better ban system and again everyone hates not being able to play the champ they actually feel like playing or a champ they want to try out in URF.

Hopefully you guys can fix Morde's bug so we can start using Aery on him again. Aery doesn't let him give shields to allies with his W heal/movement speed boost in this mode. It's been like this since in ARAM when Aery was introduced, and still hasn't been fixed. Riot plz

This new mode had fucking better come back. The Community NEEDS you to make new stuff, and STOP FUCKING FOCUSING ON PRO PLAYER BALANCE

Liking the mode so far but the 'Blessing of Caitlyn' Seems a bit over powered honestly, a 500 damage cait ult from like every siege minion/turrets and it lasts permanently? Oof! [slayer-jinx-unamused]

Um just a bug in case you didn't know, which I reported in the Bugs forum but no one responded. When an ally dies to Praimfaya during Bardle Royale, it sometimes shows an ally slaying another ally. I played as Kai'sa one game and the death notifications said I had slain my ally teammate Mundo.

Can the center of Bardle Royale be marked on the map? It helps with planning.

Is that sword of the divine "okay" an advanced Bill Wurtz reference?

It would be amazing if there was a pick and ban system so we don't see the same three champs every match because they snowball so hard they can carry the rest of the team.

With Force of Nature now having it's passive changed to a unique passive I think it would actually make a great item to bring back into the game. It gives tanks a good mr item to combo with Spirit Visage especially in cases where they have a strong ap carry like Leblanc or Fizz so they don't get blown up and lose 3/4's of their hp in half a second. And it would be beneficial for them in long team fights so they can regen health to support their team in the front line.

Could ChoGath get some help with his stacking ability too? Nasus seems to get triple stacks for Q hits, but Cho is still stuck with 1 stack every 80 seconds (after getting ult).

I hope this sticks, summoners rift isn't fun for me and i'm getting sick of playing just ARAM

Still no Will of the Ancients?

I think this game mode is well done. This is a great bridge between ARAM players that love high-action, pure mechanical contest, and SR players that enjoy the nuance of laning and macro. This is a worth while investment of resources that can really pull together two existing communities in League. Keep it going Riot!

This mode is honestly the best thing you guys have done in a long time, probably since making aram an actual game mode, keep it up!

It would be cool if Nexus Blitz became a permanent mode with all of it's own unique models. Riot could host a community creation event for models like a new Red Bambleback or even map ideas. In all honesty, I kinda hope the map ends up having almost a medieval touch to it. Could be like half of the map is Demacian theme, other is Noxian, and middle is the battle ground. Could also be a giant cave system with torches and various bits to make it look lived in. Heck, Riot could even do it to make it look like it's on one of the ledges of Mnt. Targon.

Innervating locket???????? Hello Riot you guys gonna forfill what yall said on twitter

again I can not wait for the ban system is put in so tired of stupid plays so tired of assassins

As much as I love Nexus Blitz, can you guys buff/remove Mega Ocean Drake Buff?

It's extremely unimpactful and is essentially just a weaker or passive. It pales in comparison to the Guardian Angel or shield buff and makes for a dissapointing event victory. By the time you're done sitting out of combat and regenerating from low health, you could have returned to base with the shorter recall and walked back with the shorter lanes.

I didn't like it at first because of how random and extreme it is. It starts to make sense after you play it about 4 times. Still feels like a stomp every game. I think we had 2 comebacks out of 20 games. And seems to heavily favour assassins and no one seems to want to play jungle. I played fill in all 20 games and only got lane 1 time, and then someone left so I didn't even get to play lane ever.

Blessing of Caitlyn is too imbalance and it hugely damage the experience of the side which does not got it.

On sudden death they should have the nexuses literally come out of the ground and when they get destroyed, instead of panning all the way to the opposite side of the map, the nexus should just explode right where it does and say victory/defeat

I actually really enjoy the map layout. I would like to try playing it without any of the random events. I think with the randomness removed, a unique meta could be established and this could even become a competitive mode with very short games.

With one inhibiter I feel like both turrets have to be destroyed so the inhib and inhib turret can be targeted, or somehow add one more inhib. Thats my opinion though.

The Caitlyn blessing is a dumb thing. There are times were I go up to clear the wave with supers in it, and I get targeted by two supers and two canons, and more that stack up, one shoting me. minions one shotting are team. This game is suppose to be for fun, but it is not fun when the enemy can't even kill you them selves.

Why is this mode so fun? The battle royal reminds me of pubg, but in a good way, the loot teemo is interesting, scuttle races are broken if you are singed, the only thing I don't like about this game mode is when the nexus gets up and fights, but I don't know what could replace it so I'll deal with it.
