The Return of Nexus Blitz

Nexus Blitz is finally back in League Of Legends! The last time Nexus Blitz launched was back in patch 11.11. Since then, there's been a slew of sweeping changes to League's gameplay, as well as some under-the-hood tech changes that needed to be made to bring the mode back. We've been working behind the scenes to bring this fan favorite back, so we hope you enjoy it!

Champion Balance Reset

The Champion Balance Buff percent adjustments have been reset for all champions. From numerous item/champion reworks to the durability update, a lot has happened since the last time Nexus Blitz was live. We're taking this opportunity to reset the balance and establish a new baseline. Don't worry though, if certain champions get out of hand… we will find them… and we will nerf them. Or buff them.

You all get Jungle Pets!

Jungle Pets have completed their migration from Summoner's Rift to Nexus Blitz. Monsters here seem to be a little more nutritious, which means pets only need half the amount of stacks to level up! Here's a list of differences between Summoner's Rift and Nexus Blitz:

Stacks required for upgrade: 20; 10 for stage 2, 40 for stage 3
Players no longer obtain bonus treats after fully upgrading their companion

League of Legends Event Spawn Changes

Event spawns have been a pain point on Nexus Blitz since its release. Previously, it was rare, but possible, to be behind in power but still have the events favor the winning team. The goal of this change is to improve the feeling of fairness for events. Additionally, Loot Veigar and Teemo will no longer wander into the top side of the enemy jungle until a team is behind and needs a little extra defense. Event spawns for the following events will always spawn neutrally or favor the losing team:
