Can there be a draw in League of Legends?
Just curious. Say both teams are playing 4v4 teamfight, while one of each is backdooring each nexus.
What could happen if both at the same time do the "destroying blow" to the nexus?
Best Answer
The event you describe, due to the reasons stated by badp, cannot happen.
However, if you destroy the enemy nexus and your team surrenders immediately after, their nexus blows up, but the game screen moves to your nexus, which explodes too and YOU end up losing the game.
Personally witnessed this happen several times.

Is a draw possible in LoL?
It is blindingly obvious that you cannot draw a game. Riot boasted that in January 2014 27 million players played League of Legends daily. Thus, the lower bound for the number of games played on the service daily is 2.7 million.Is there a tie in LoL?
For two-way ties, the tiebreaker is always pretty simple\u2014if one team won all of their games against the other, they win the tiebreaker. If they split their games, then the two teams play a best of one with the winner advancing. Three-way ties have always been the hard case to deal with.How does a league match end?

Answer 2
It can't happen. In a computer system, everything essentially rotates with 1 thing happening at a time. It just happens so fast that you don't notice only 1 thing happening at a time.
Someone may say this might not be the case with a server, but the server will still process 1 nexus before the other.
Now, let's say theoretically they do in fact get attacked at the same time. The server will still process one before the other and you could actually argue that the one that blows up first will be randomly determined since the you have no idea where in the state of things what object is in line to be effected next.
EDIT: Fine for those who really want to point out the single situation it could be occur IF the developers foolishly decided to code it this way.
1) We are assuming there is a state change loop.
2) After the state change loop we will assume there is a game process loop.
3) They would have to code in specificially something like if (nexus1.isDead() && nexus2.isDead()).
Even with this info, I will stand by my answer because of how unrealistic it would be to code for this since the game currently does not allow ties at this time.
