3-4 que min timers. None of my friends are interested it. the rank enjoyers or aram spammers. both found it boring after 4-5 games and they were hype for it and said we need it back
URF/Arena had instant que pops the day it came out until end. (I was grandmaster top 30 so idk if ques were lower for arena for lower mmr)
I played it 3 times and hated. every. second. For a “chaotic random game mode” its still horribly unbalanced and unfun. I have zero interest in it.
Bring back URF or OFA or Doombots or something else pls Rito.
if i select fill 90% of the time i’m getting put into jungle. i have no clue which champions are even the right ones to play. the events can be completely meaningless for a win at times, sometimes your team is just dumb and decides to go all in on the last fight and not kill the opponents first despite winning every event and you lose.
URF mode for life…
Riot will remove it and claim “not enough interest” but there’s little interest because it’s so incredibly unbalanced. Rift herald/Baron buff needs to be removed, the super minions need to be 1 per lane instead of 2. And elder shouldn’t be a possible reward for anything.
they fixed NONE of the issues that were already apparent with NB in its last iteration (they literally ported it without any meaningful changes), they’re not even TRYING to make the gamemode actually good. It’s a shame because I really like the idea of a non-SR based 5v5 gamemode with pick champions. Regular SR is only for tryharding, SR-based fun gamemodes (URF, OFA, Ult Spellbook) get kinda stale quickly for me, ARAM doesnt let me pick a specific champion, arena is great but not a 5v5. Nexus Blitz has potential to fill this left-open niche, but if Riot gives up on the gamemode (it’s blatantly obvious they have), so will eventually the playerbase. Actual fucking bummer but it is what it is
I play it like once per week just to play silly kidnapper grab skarner
It’s fun when the enemy team gets a objective spawn in their jungle for a free elder buff.
On a serious note though, I think if they balanced some of the objective rewards and then got rid of the sudden death it would be better. I’ve had plenty of really close fun games that just end because sudden death says no to more fun.
Because the team that wins the first event instawins the game. You play a 30second event that determine however the 15 following minutes will go. Honnetly it’s just bad design
They didn’t fix anything from before. They rereleased it broken and unbalanced and didn’t listen to any feedback from the previous iterations. It sucks but riot doesn’t want it to succeed. People are hyped for arena but that will die a slow death as well.
They should lean one way or the other with this game, either make it a serious but smaller 5v5 map or go full into the mini games and try to do a goofy and casual mode where you play some round of different minigames and that’s it.
There should be mini games not centered around normal pvp but something like mundo dogdeball 5v5, some kind of hide and seek, races and stuff like that
Just like all of the other rotating game modes though. As much as people love URF I feel people spam the shit out of it on day 1, get sick of it and go back to Ranked, Norms or ARAM and then the queue timer on URF gets super long.
Nah bro, Reddit told me this game mode was WAAYYY better than Arena!!! No way this game mode dies out after 2 days exactly as it always has and exactly like it always will. You’re talkin crazy man.
It was dead the day after it was released
Was dead after people played one loss. You can instantly tell it’s completely random and snowballs in whatever direction gets the best rng and then you can’t do anything but sit and play another 2 events your team gets fisted on and then lose.
There is too much damage in game and its VERY affecting blitz
