4 Team, 40? player, League Map

This was an idea i had. It would be cool to see a game that was even more hectic with more split pushing, and multiple team fights going on where the squad had to organize their players well in order to push effectively.

This is a 4 team map, it is basically 4 mirror copies of the classic map, but it can also have the number of turrets in lanes reduced by half, but the ability to split push more effectively would have me think that it would be easy to push a lane into the base and take a couple towers while one team was busy fighting off another team.

This would add a new diplomacy element, where teams could have a tenative truce with each other, but also easily betray each other.

The map is quite large, so this means getting turtles would be very important. Perhaps a reduced cooldown on teleport.

I don't know what the real meta would look like, but i was thinking somthing along the lines of. (For Red) 2 Normal Top lanes for top and bottom. 2 Normal Mid lanes for diagonal lanes. 1 ADC and 1 Supp for Center Lanes. 2 Jungles.

The problem is that the load time might be long, but taking advantage of a team being aced would lead to quick games i would think, with two teams pushing against them.

As if rito servers could handle 40 players on one map. Cool idea, though.

if this does happen you'll see a karthus almost every game

only thing is they would have to rig up a new system to allow a team that has been beaten to just exit the game (so that they aren't confined to wait until the very end of the whole match). for instance, one team feeds horribly and goes out after only 15 minutes of direct focus from the other teams, but the other teams stay relatively close for another 30 minutes. That first team to go out should be able to leave immediately after their loss and proceed to join a new match.

For me it seems like good idea, no offense - but u know its Rito and u can forget about it :L

I love the idea. It would be so much fun to see what the meta would become for a game mode like this. I imagine pushers would dominate this game.

Unfortunately, the snowballing in a mode like this would be absurd. Imagine a fed akali running around killing everyone. Sure, your team is smart enough to buy a pink ward or red trinket.....but the other teams don't.

Also, double the chance for grievers, rage quitters, intentional feeders, afk, and all the fun stuff we love so much in League. It's the few that ruin it for the majority sometimes.

When you clear a base, you keep your super minions, and all the minions will continue into the same lane they were from. Top lane goes through the base into the other top lane, and diagonal lanes go into the other diagonal lane.

Your minions would kill the inhibitor that gives your enemies super minions as they march through the defeated base, so it wouldn't snowball for one team I wouldn't think. The towers of the defeated teams would still function, as they are pretty indifferent to which team they attack, so they would do just as much fighting off the enemies of your enemies, as your turrets do at fighting off your enemies.

the lag

i can see it now

No... This would cause so much lagg, the q's would be far too long, and people would be bored when a game lasts about 2 hours.

With this, the chance of an AFK / DC is more likely for every single game, which is something that won't be good in the long run. It looks fun but I cannot see it happening :(

Do you have any idea how silly that mid lane would look like? Four minion waves all crashing into each other (assuming 6 minions stays that's 24 minions all randomly attacking each other with 8 champions trying to last hit/harrass diagonally O.o

Maybe get rid of the mid lanes entirely and create a new jungle free for all area.

I love this idea simply because its something more exciting and fun to play than a normal 5v5 (or hexakill)

Aspynn7/5/2015, 9:06:16 PM1 votes

Well this would be very cool, but how would the minion waves work? Once one team was eliminated, if minions stopped coming from their base, it would just be weird, I can't even exactly wrap my head around how it would work. But I really do love the idea of a multiple team map, and I really think that riot should try harder to make some good and well thought out new game modes/maps, and possibly just ditch dominion and tt all together. (My friend keeps trying to play tt but gets 5 other bots every game lol.)

My view of the safest meta would be 2:1:2:1:2 with 2 junglers. If the diagonal lanes get ganked, they'd have 2 players from top/bot and the 2 in the center lane, as well as jungle help on their side. Better than only putting 1 person top/bot who is furthest from every other team mate.

It's also more fun and engaging when you can interact with as many people as possible without having to traverse all the way to the other side.

The biggest problem here is mid is GETTING 3X THE CS of other lanes. Other than that I want this.

Great idea, but which way would your minions go? Very unlikely to happen. item 3070

ChaosThief7/6/2015, 1:13:08 AM1 votes

Main problem would be having 4 barons and 4 dragons. If one team gets ahead enough they could take the 4 dragons at once.

2nd problem in this would be more major though: I believe riot said it was coded around 2 teams, so adding more teams would require a lot of work.
