BMB, according to Riot, had the issue of being too much at once.
It brought a ton of new items, it brought the additional currency as another objective to go towards, and it brought the minion upgrades, making it a lot to digest.
Nexus Blitz seems to be a sort of offspring of that, keeping one side (the ton of new items) and integrating it into something else that can feel exciting. It might not be out of the question that someday they’ll make something happen from the rest in another game mode (my guess is that they’ve internally tried that, just to no avail, or to no avail yet).
