LoL players on why Nexus Blitz should be a permanent game mode

Nexus Blitz is a famous League of Legends game mode that hasn’t been in the game since 2021, and the game’s community is pleading for its return.

On Reddit on May 11, players presented a few compelling arguments for why Nexus Blitz should return to League and become a permanent game mode. When you look at them all together, it’s difficult to disagree, since it would undoubtedly make the game more entertaining and diversified.

Diversity was also one of the main reasons of the argument, with the author lamenting the absence of it in League’s game modes, emphasising how players can presently only pick between Summoner’s Rift and ARAM as playable mode. That is also why Riot Games has revealed a new League of Legends deathmatch game mode for 2023.

Having Nexus Blitz as a permanent playable option will undoubtedly allow players to have fun in ways other than ARAM or usual game mode.

Other points include how Nexus Blitz is a wonderful blend of a typical 5v5 Summoner’s Rift game and ARAM’s fast-paced teamfighting style, as well as how it has rapid games, multiple events, a magnificent map, and music. Overall, there are compelling grounds that constitute a strong argument.

Nexus Blitz games typically average approximately 20 minutes (equivalent to ARAM) and feature a variety of events that significantly alter the match.

Nexus Blitz immediately won over fans’ hearts with its multiple events and fast-paced action, even though it has been a long time since it was featured in League. It was last seen between May 27 and June 28, 2021.

Thankfully, Riot Games developers confirmed on February 16 this year that they’re trying to make it return to League again, so hopefully we’ll be able to play it soon.
