[NEW GAMEMODE] 3v3v3

I propose a new game mode. 3 champion team, versus another 3 champion team, versus another 3 champion team. Instead of a square/diamond shape map like Summoner's Rift which only supports two teams, a new possibly smaller triangle shaped map with 3 nexus should be created. Tell me your thoughts, thanks!

Unbalanced. Two teams could team up against the other. Also, would it be elimination, or would two teams win? Riot wouldn't want two teams winning, it would give out excessive amounts of IP (more IP means less people buying RP). Elimination wouldn't work well either, as once one team is eliminated, they would be forced to wait until the other two teams battle it out to leave the game. I would love for it to happen, but only if a viable solution to both the problems I presented.

I've toyed with this idea for a while now. Hypothetically, I could see it being essentially a last-man-standing situation. Blowing up one nexus doesn't end the game, it's the last nexus remaining that's the winner. So that even if Team A loses their inhibitor, they still get to fight against Team B and Team C while Team B & C are duking it out for the win.

It would HAVE to be a non-ranked game mode, of course. And there needs to be some kind of incentive for teams B & C to keep pushing Team A, or there won't be any point to them making a come-back...

I dunno. It's fun to think about, but I can't really see it being a serious mode at all, if it could even really be implemented.

This could work in a dominion style format. Having 6 control points where 2 are more easily accessible to your team compared to the other 4 would have some play from me I think. A team that is eliminated would stop respawning since their nexus would not exist, however if they can survive after the nexus is destroyed they can continue to attack other capture points and all that until they die (at which point they would no longer respawn).

Having a map similar to how the 3v3 normal map works now for an additional team of 3 could be interesting. Have a top right, top left, and bottom nexus. Have one lane going toward each enemy nexus with jungle options in the middle and also inside their areas. Possibly with a large objective monster in the middle similar to Baron or Vilemaw(?) that teams would fight over to control. The lanes should arc outward as they gain distance from the nexus so that the normal lane battle will be far enough away from the fray that a jungler couldn't just wander into them by accident. The problem I see with this mode is trying to figure out who wins, and how they do it.

2nd comment: Riot actually said that this would be a nightmare to do, because of it being based on the BLUE and PURPLE sides. Something like that.
