That Nexus Blitz stat is a massive oof. Certainly shows that Reddit is the minority
to be fair to reddit, the region that was most engaged in Nexus Blitz was NA (reddit being english speaking and primarily NA with a splash of EUW).
that likely influenced the perception that it was more widely played. Also I’d hypothesize that the audience types that we saw engaging in NB were even closer to the more active reddit users in NA.
Damn.... that graph showing Nexus Blitz playtime is really telling, it wasn't even as popular as ARAM, and it was almost dead when it was pulled.
This graph is why Riot isn't "lazy" for focusing less on other game modes. At the end of the day, we want to make things a ton of you enjoy for long periods of time. I worked on Nexus Blitz. I wanted it to succeed as much as the next person. Players voted with their time. People just don't play the vast majority of alternate modes for more than a weekend.

Additionally, NB was actually resonant with the intended target: more tenured players who were looking for a quick LoL experience with some spice to keep it from being boring or solved. The thing is that the target audience (myself included) was smaller than we expected :|

Unless you're referring to this specific subreddit, Reddit is not primarly NA. NA accounts for roughly 45% of traffic on Reddit.
speaking about this subreddit in particular.

I think this is a super important and often overlooked thing. Things like NB can be objectively good, well designed, and serve their target audience, yet still not be sustainable
If all measures were hit, except for the engagement being sustainable, what do you think the problem was?
I wasn't on that product so I can't really say :/
Curious are you able to share any stats on how veteran league players from other regions interacted with NB
While I ran the numbers to make the call, I don't have any stats handy. We did look at engagement by how long players have been playing and it didn't trend up; older accounts definitely played more.
