I was slightly surprised that Sona is as high up as she is, especially since most players max her W first now

me and my fellow ap sona boys raising sonas average damage dealt by terrorizing soloq with lich bane sona

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
