A while back i posted this concept and it got a lot of attention, so I'm re-posting it. Let me know what you think of this concept.

Minion Apocalypse:

Either in Howling Abyss or Summoners Rift 10 players on one team, against a team of minions, a lot of minions, super minions, ranged minions, melee minions ever minion type, however, the 10 players on the one team don't have minions spawn.It starts off easy, but as time goes by more and more minions swarm, and it gets overwhelming. The object is to push to the enemy nexus. If the minions push to your nexus however,you lose. As for strategy, pick pusher champions who can clear waves quickly. This is just an idea that popped into my head, so I don't know whether it sounds good or terrible, so please give feedback!!

I feel like it would be fun once, then boring.

Why? Because there's not much gameplay. Part of what makes league fun is the ability to outplay your opponents. But how do you outplay minions? This seems like more of a brute force, push as hard as you can and hope you win, type game.

I'd almost want a surviver-type mode, like Nazi Zombies or something. Get to "X" level, and eventually have crazy things coming out of the enemy nexus like Blue Golems, Dragons, and eventually Barons. Maybe even create some mega (zombie? mutant? machine?) minions that are unique to this mode. Now THAT would be the Minion Apocalypse, and it would be a fun challenge. There could even be a score ladder based on who has reached the highest level. I would play. :D

2 things can be done. Once every 15 waves, a powerful boss spawns. Someone like Teemo/Hecarim who has a ton of health and daage. There, teamwork.

Also, mana cost/health cost reduced by half.

I think a way you could intergrate Single Target mages into this mode is have a Super Mega Boss minion spawn every now and then who has high armor but Negative Magic Resistance but high protection against AOE Effects.

I would go for more of a co-op Defense of the nexus

I assume you get turrets, to buy time for your team to level... but the creeps should also be getting stronger and more numerous.

Would need some tuning... but walking down the lane with Anivia's icewalls and blizzards would be fun. With URF cooldowns she could solo it easy on Abyss - permanent advancing icewalls.
