The Result of Nemesis Draft

I'll be honest, I'm not terribly impressed from what I've played so far. Nemesis hasn't been about "What weird comps can we give the enemy team," rather, "What champs have the lowest win rate? Give them those." Every game I've played has a in it, and an if he wasn't banned... which he usually is. Ive seen countless .

You know what else I've seen? More disconnects, raging and simply "not having fun" than any other game mode or ladder to date. I simply do not see people enjoying this game mode. I'm beginning to suspect its only value is farming data on the champions people like the least.

What about you guys? Do you enjoy Nemesis? What's your "How many of my teammates have AFK'd" record? My very first game became a 3v5 within ten minutes of the start of the game.

The only game I played so far was a "let's give them all ADCs and build Thornmail" strat. It was fun, except for the the 1v2 I was stuck with top (with TWO ranged champs to my poor melee Rumble), but it was worth the jungle Nautilus.

OP: "Do you enjoy Nemesis?" Me: No... Not at all.. Better bring back URF Mode (in a form or another like they originally said) if RG want to keep innovating and making LoL a fun game. I don't really care if they tweak it a little bit, I just want it permanent for sake of pure entertainment and for sake of everyone else that also are waiting for nearly a year already

Only played it twice, decided it sucked terribly.

Don't think I had AFKs.

First game, team gave them a legit team comp. I was first pick and asked to give them all ADCs. I was given Nunu and we had an Eve. Eve kept asking me to go mid and her to go jungle because "Eve can't play in lane". Which is just silly, I've actually seen Eve played in lane before... I've never seen Nunu played mid.

Second game was ALMOST good. One guy was changing his mind and somehow switched to give them Leblanc at the last second. So our strategy of giving them all AD and subpar junglers (don't remember the team exactly unfortunately) turned in to them having a legitimate team comp with just poor selections in each role. Thankfully they somehow gave us a legit team comp except for no adc, so our thresh went ADC and we actually won that. Yorick and Thresh got pretty fed. It was fun to win that, but really was weird... wasn't a fan even though I got Syndra mid. After figuring out that even with a pretty good champion I didn't enjoy the mode, I figured I had best go back to my regular matches.

My fun stops at team communication. When the first person that gets banned is J4 and you beg the next one to be like Galio, and you get a Udyr ban. Eventually your team is Eve, Lulu, Taric, Sejuani, and Zac and their team is Urgot, Karthus, Alistar, Nunu, and Yorick. They break into meta-form and your team has Sejuani mid, Zac Top, Taric and Lulu Bot, and finally eve jg. Game ends 50min and the score is 47-24. It's very frustrating.

3 games, all were fun. No one raged or flamed, last one had an afk/DC from the start on the opponent though :(

I've played three matches so far and so far I've not enjoyed it. I keep going in thinking "Maybe this one won't be as bad." But it ends up being painful to play and I'm ready to ff at 20. Problems I've encountered so far...

Getting 3 supps in one team Captain AFK in Champ Screen so no bans and random pick for enemy team Team raging the entire time about who gave enemy team what champs People not reading and not knowing we are actually picking the enemy team comp Team raging when you don't know how to use a champ or build them Same champs picked in EVERY match

It's really not fun at all.

Had a 3 vs 5 game, we won. Lucky for me I knew how to play urgot, went 28/6 that match. They had us by the balls but they wanted to baron, we ran up mid and took everything by the time they came back the game had be won.

Played one game. We were given support/tanks and urgot. Gave them mostly skill squishies and evelyn. Went 30-3 overall. Nobody said anything during the game or champ selection and it was a very pleasant and amusing steamroll experience for our side. No afks on either side. They didn't seem to ward and weren't paying any attention to dragon, so there was a pretty significant skill gap. Shrug.

In my opinion just give your oponent team all adc that can not play ap and have no reposition skill what so ever. Pretty one sided if you ask me. Go and look it up for yourself . I bet you will find more than 10 possible champs.

I find it to be fun. Yeah you see the 'bad' champions a bit, but I've seen a lot of strange things get thrown around. I've played ADC Nami, played on a full ADC team, got to play some mid AP Elise ( I actually like lane Elise so it was cool with me ), played some Xin mid, and so on.

The problem is that everyone seems to go in acting like it's super serious. Just chill and have a good time people. You might get something you've never played or don't like, well now is the time to learn it. Never know when you might be given your next favorite champion.

I look at it like ARAM. Or rather, ARAL? All Random, All Lanes. Because most solo q's aren't coordinated enough to actually give you something like 5 supports or 5 melees, you just end up with a weird bungle of champs that people think are "bad" but you can still make it work.

I mean I was first pick(ed) and they gave me Swain, apparently thinking he was a terrible champ, even though I took him top and devoured.

But on ARAM I just play around with champs and weird builds like AD Le Blanc or AP Varus, because its ARAM. So Nemesis is similar, "Oh, well maybe I'll go Tank Teemo since everyone is squishy"

more importantly it is showing how inflexible the players base is there is a meta and if you don't play it you lose. the people here genuinely are sheepeople with zero ability to form their own opinion
