Welp, that's too bad we can't have a weekend for Nemesis, since the games have already been decided.

Honestly speaking tho, I don't think many people liked it when we talked about it in Factions chat. So that disinterest may be apparent here.

I didn't show them any mercy, but the rest of my team showed them more than enough to make up for it.

I find it so bizarre that people give SUPPORTS of all roles to enemy teams. I had to face a team that was Janna, Soraka, Leona, Nami and some other champ (can you guess which one I picked?) and of course we lost. Like, Janna is good she can go AD and do fine, supports in general give a ton of CC and utility, why PICK A TEAM FULL OF THEM?!?! >.<


I do laugh at some people's perceptions of power. Thinking supports are weak was a mistake that many a player have made in Nemesis draft.

I have found all supports to be quite dangerous indeed. However, if you watch which supports you give them, you can still make it semi-viable. Then again, it probably won't be full support team if you know what you're doing.
But geez, yeah, the AD Janna is real. And the ADC Taric+Nami bot was really dangerous when I tried it.

In Nemesis Draft, it doesn't matter what type of champ you give, it matters how much synergy they have. Giving the enemy team the Medic Squad is just going to net you a loss, but if you coordinate for minimum synergy, the other team will be half-broken. THAT's how you play Nemesis Draft.

I try for exclusively giving a team squishy AP with as little CC as possible.

Actually the best way to ensure a win in Nemesis Draft is to give out nothing but ADCs. Make sure they can't jungle and have to share CS. Try to give them ADCs with as little CC and range as possible. They won't be able to complete their items, they won't have anyone to peel for them, and all the mobility in the world won't make up for how underfarmed and underfed they'll be.

EDIT: But actually, good riddance to Nemesis Draft. What a terrible, awful mode.

Nemesis draft was fun. Playing weird things on weird comps I don't usually play was a nice change of pace. It's what I look for in these game modes: Something fun and an interesting distraction for two weeks. Not something permanent.
I get why some people wouldn't like it though. Playing "Bad" champs in difficult comps. Really, like I said, it's a bit like ARAM all in all.

Attack Speed Nami, hypercarry Janna, Urgot being OP, and nobody knowing how to play elise: You were a'ight.

I take that back. Every time I picked Elise someone mained her on the enemy team and gloated about my mistake.
And then proceeded to be absolutely awful.
