Featured Game Mode: Clan Wars
I always kind of thought it was a bit weird that Riot had these perfect cities and clans etc yet never really found a way to put it into the game other than in taunts. With this thought in mind, I had the idea of using the lore to make a featured game mode!
The story behind the game mode would be that the summoners created an event in the howling abyss where they matched up two different teams which were made up of people only from a select clan/town, and whichever one won would bring glory to their home.
How the actual game mode would work would be that before playing the game, you would decide a clan/town to fight for (in champion select you would be able to choose from any of your group's champions even if you don't own them). Each of your wins would add a point for whatever you have pledged your allegiance too, and by the end of the game mode's time, whichever group with the most points would win a free mystery champion or a skin.
Ex. -I choose Noxus as my group before being enabled to play the game mode. -I enter the game and end up vsing Frejlord -On my team I have Darius, Draven, Swain, Katarina, and Talon -Enemy team consists of Trundle, Ashe, Sejuani, Tryndamere, and Braum -We win and 1 point is added to Noxus for our win -Next game starts, and due to what I chose and what my team mattes chose, we choose from Noxus champions again -We take Leblanc, Morgana, Sion, Cassiopeia, and Darius (again because Darius is bawss) -Enemy team is "The Void". Their team consists of Cho'Gath, Rek'Sai, Kog'Maw, Vel'Koz and Kha'Zix -We win (Darius Carried as always) and another point is added to Noxus -By the end of lets say two weeks or more, Noxus ends up having the most points because they have the most points due to Darius (obviously) -All of the people who pledged to Noxus win a free mystery skin/champion, while the other groups that doubted Darius like dumbos get nothing.
There are many groups you can choose with more than 5 champions, ex:
Zaun: Ekko, Viktor, Warwick, Mundo, Singed Bandle City: Teemo, Tristana, Corki, Amumu, Ziggs Damacia: Garen, Fiora, Lux, Jarvan, Galio Many Many more....
As far as champions that don't have any affinity go, I think there could be a group made for them. Ex. Rammus, Bard, Aatrox, Elise, Nocturne
...and others. Question is, what would this faction be called?
