I’ve been playing Nexus Blitz to try and find some redeeming qualities about it, but I’m really struggling.
On paper it sounds fun, short, fast-paced games that take all the best bits of LoL and condense it into a short mode.
The reality couldn’t be further from the truth. Go behind 1k and the enemy team has a Teemo? Good fucking luck doing anything, the map is tiny and he will cover your base in shrooms. Zyra does exactly the same thing to a lesser degree.
In 4 separate matches tonight, I have watched the enemy Soraka AI just run circles around their nexus, and allied Soraka AI fucking Leeroy Jenkins into their jungle to give the golem a hug.
Oh cool, the DPS dummy spawned behind their tower so we can’t hit it, another cool feature! Don’t forget the bard circle that centers in on their jungle, or the support being forced to 1v1 the lee sin in Prize Fight!
Players have already figured out what the best champs are and are spamming them, which just makes the mode miserable.
Anyone who enjoys this mode, please tell me how, I’m all ears.
My soraka just runs solo into the enemy team while my team is still trying to reach to her.
