Recently on /All Chat, Melonie, Josh, and James tried their hands at a few of the many popular player created games, like Protect the President, Dodgeball, and Ultimate Bravery.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBWALdBCwNQ

From hunting down Teemo to protecting Soraka Bot, we’ve compiled a list of the most popular community games. Do you have any favorites or games we missed? Let us know in the comments!

Donger Dash!

Donger Dash is a death-defying race around Summoner’s Rift or Twisted Treeline made by Phantoml0rd. Two teams set out to do as many laps as possible without dying to turrets, fountains, or enemy champions. For more in depth rules, check out this handy image by ArteFactos.

Protect the Soraka

Similar to “Protect the President” played in /All Chat, except that Soraka Bot is the “president” and you must protect her! Soraka Bot knows what’s “best” for her team, and will charge heedlessly into five enemies, so you must defend her with your life...or kill her if she’s on the opposing team.

Hide and Seek

Hide and Seek is a 5v2 game mode in which the hiders try their best to avoid both the seeker roaming around the map. The hiding champions only have 5 chances to not get caught, or else they are out of the game. For a detailed post about all the intricacies of Hide and Seek, check out this post by Faerlina Sin.

BRAWL!

Brawl is essentially a team death match mode. The goal is to reduce the enemy's total points down to 250 without recalling, capturing points, or leaving the inner circle of the map. Check out this post by Hitsux3 for more information.

Ultimate Bravery

Ultimate Bravery is the most well known of the community created games; it’s essentially a “chaos” version of Summoner’s Rift. Players are automatically assigned a champion, summoner spells, masteries, and a full item build and have to somehow manage to win the game. Check out their website here, or join the chat “Ultimate Bravery” in game.

Support Wars

Support Wars is very similar to Protect the Soraka but instead the president is an AD Carry bot for both teams. Bottom lane has to be the same on both teams, but that’s the only restriction. The goal for each team is to either kill the enemy AD Carry or take the bottom lane turret. Shoutout to StirFriedTeemo for this game mode!

Baron Pit Dodgeball

Dodgeball pits both teams against each other in a suspenseful game of baiting and juking. If you get hit with an ability, you’re out. There’s a fairly complex set of rules, involving champion selection and limits to the abilities you can grab, so check out D0ubD3aD’s post for the full list.

Find the Teemo

Similar to Hide and Seek, Find the Teemo pits both teams against each other to find and kill Teemo! Check out this post by JonOhTin for all the rules and variations of the game.

Factions! We go off of the old riot lore, where the league still exists. We have faction like demacia, noxus, piltover, freljord, etc., in each arc. What the factions are fighting for depends on the arc. Right now, we are in the middle of the arc, lines in the sand where shurima is trying to become an independent state, and Noxus and Piltover are trying to keep the land that they own now that used to belong to Shurima. We have lists of champions that each faction can play, and we play games where each team only plays the champions from that faction. It's pretty detailed and fun, more of a roleplaying game than anything else. I'm in Noxus right now. DEATH TO ALL SHURIMANS! We are having a Factions Friday played today, where we attempt to start more games than we usually do, so if someone wants to come visit us, we hang out in the Factions chat room. Also, if you want to know more, you can either visit us at our website, http://leaguefactions.net/ ,or you can ask some questions below this.

Yeah, the basics of the Factions game mode is one team is only using champions from a particular faction. Each team plays as a different faction and each team can only pick Champions from that Faction.

We do have roleplaying and stories we right up based on how the games go (basic rule is the more a certain faction wins, they win stuff in the stories), but the big thing is the faction vs faction gamemode we set up.

What really bugs me is that not only did riot ignore us in the /ALL Chat video, they ignored us when they made this post, and I even commented on the video that they forgot us. This is starting to feel like a slap in the face by Riot.

I've found a video of a good match from a tournament we held a while back. It's between Demacia, known for it's dogpile teamfight tactics having cc heavy champs like Jarvan IV and Galio hold down the enemy team while hyper carries like Vayne eat through them, and Piltover, known for its siege and poke comps where it gets the enemy team low from a distance before moving in for the kill. http://www.twitch.tv/leaguefactions/c/4516551

That actually sounds like a lot of fun :o

Just visit leaguefactions.net and check out the How To Play section!

PokemichaelJul 17, 20157 votes

Sometimes, my friends and I do custom 5v5s like demacia vs noxus or things like that.

Terra BoomaJul 19, 20154 votes

Then my friend, Factions is just the thing for you!

AdonidusJul 18, 201512 votes

Factions should definitely be on this list! Playing League along actual story lines is so much fun. Where else are you going to see the True Strength of Noxus? Cuz Swain isn't just going to tell you how strong they really are.

Silencer MageJul 18, 20159 votes

Factions also provides you with the chance to get really in tune with the game and let you feel what it's like to be the IOW summoners. We also have a community that frequently plays together and helps others get into not only league but other games as well. I would recommend everyone that likes League of legends lore and trying out new things to give factions a chance and try it out. Current arc name is Lines in the Sand and it includes noxus, piltover, and shurima fighting one another on and off the fields of justice for rewards, bragging rights, and of course fun. Come tryout factions =D

Heavyiest HammerJul 18, 20155 votes

FACTIONS!!! This honestly sounds way more fun than some of the other player-created game modes features in the original post, some of which i have played or played a variant of. Factions, is something that had sparked my interest before. If I hadn't read the comments I still wouldn't know about the community of players who host organized play. How could this not be on the list?!?! C'mon /ALL Chat...

mikeejimboJul 18, 20153 votes

That sounds awesome! I love a good roleplaying game.

GiltreadJul 18, 20154 votes

But so like if Shurima, Noxus, Piltover, if they all have factions is there one for the Void? Granted their motives are largely unknown but i think it'd be fun to see Shurima Vs. Void. Velkoz Vs. Azir for example. I don't know it just seems unfair to leave out the Void.

ShadowKnight1224Jul 19, 20154 votes

The Void is most certainly a faction, and it was actually almost voted into the current arc by the community (Noxus barely beat the Void in the poll). The void is a very small faction, champions-wise, but it has every role covered.

Whoa, that looks totally fun! I need to play that one.

4kojJul 18, 20155 votes

Draft Racing has been here for quite a while, it's so complex that there are strategies and there's even a meta.

Here's a written, updated ruleset with all the advanced stuff:

Draft Race Updated Ruleset

Nothing's more satisfying then a Rammus + Ohmwrecker + Distortion Ghost + Talisman Of Ascension Powerball straight into the enemy fountain.

Or a Bard E straight into the enemy fountain. (Yes, you can do that)

Also a new updated ruleset video!

Where's All the Other Good Games...?

Where's ARAB? - [ARAM but Bot-Lane Crystal Scar] - way better than ARAM imo Where's Jungle Wars? - [Slaying the Neutral Epics for Points] Where's ARAZ? - [Tactical Split-Pushing] Where's Draft Racing? - [Competitive Fountain Diving] Where's Lock-Out? - [ARAM & Dominion meet in Twisted Treeline] Where's Deathmatch? - [Crystal Scar Team Battle Royal] Where's Draft Melee? - [ARAM but with Melee Only Champs] Where's the Cho'Gath Game? - [Like Protect the President, but your Cho' needs 6 Stacks before the Enemy's Cho'] Where's Brother's in Arms? - [5 Mixed Teams of 2 on Crystal Scar] Where's Tag? - [Skill-Shot Tag on the Scar]

PastaMarioJul 17, 20156 votes

Man, I love ARAB. It's such a shame I don't see many people play it.

RiotZwillJul 17, 201512 votes

Wow! Quite the list of player created modes there. I'll def have to check it out!

PokemichaelJul 17, 20154 votes

Draft Racing sounds fun.

MerrabbitJul 18, 201517 votes

They forgot teemo football! Each team must have an ashe and a teemo, the other three champions can be whatever. The goal of the teemo is to make it into the enemy fountain (he must be alive upon entry, sorry yorick), this is a touchdown and is worth 7 points. The goal of the ashe is to shoot her ultimate between the enemy nexus towers, this is a field goal and is is worth 3 points. Games last 30 minutes. Strategies usually involve one person staying in base to try to block ashe arrows, somebody to keep teemo out of fountain, and somebody to help escort teemo to the enemy fountain. Guardian angel and zilean are always banned.

I am actually working on a capture the flag gamemode for me and my friends to play. I think this is a good place to post it because you know, custom game mode post. Basicly you play on summoners rift, one player on each team buys a pink ward and hides it somewhere in their jungle. You have to play a champ with a skillshot of some sort. If you get hit by a skillshot you have to return to your jungle. One team wins when the other pink ward is destroyed. You can't leech xp from lanes (unless its an accident). You can't take jungle camps. If you do level up you don't use the skill points, or just don't use the skill if you prefer. This can be played with any number of people but I think 3v3 or more is the most fun. Anyone think this sounds fun at all?

Let me just say, it's so freaking awesome to see player's taking matters into their OWN hands and coming up with creative, DIY custom modes. Punk as hell boys and girls, keep it up. Good to see The Community coming up with solutions, and refusing to whine about problems. FACTIONS seems like the coolest idea ever. If Riot won't immerse us in lore, WE'LL do it ourselves. And if Riot starts to perceive this a a threat, ie two simultaneous canons where the non-Riot one might be significantly more popular with the playerbase, then Riot might have to step up their game (or another scenario is they say "well, looks like they can handle it now haha"). Either way, I'm going to be playing Factions fo sho. Thanks to http://leaguefactions.net/ for taking the initiative!!!

oliver359Jul 17, 20158 votes

Ok guys i'm really trying to make this a gamemode, so its pretty much ARAM but everyone is in the jg instead so ARAJ, its based on summoners rift but there only 3v3 not 5v5, this gamemode seems fun to me but idk. Lets just try to make it a game mode summoner 11 item 1039 oh and one more thing, the way to win is you must kill baron w/o letting the other team kill it first, so if your chosen a jg champ your odds of wining are higher

Death ChaliceJul 18, 20154 votes

What's the Objective? - since it's Jungle Only.

There's a number of "Jungle Wars" gamemodes already similar to this, the closest being Shard's Jungle Wars, since it's 3v3. It's also the only one that's Updated.

There's also 4 others with varying rules: yickya's Mathesle's HolyWarriorRye GoingForHigh

TmT BàHàJul 20, 20153 votes

We used to play a mini game called Blind Fishing on SR, Draft pick:

2 teams. Regardless of how many players on each team, there has to be at least 1 , called The Fisherman.
The team playing Fish would go inside the Baron pit and stay in there. They can move around **IN **the pit but not outside it, except for certain conditions. They are also allowed to ward around the pit from inside (that means no going out to ward, only ward out from inside) and attack Thresh if they see him (but be careful, attacking means risking being hooked).
Allies of the Fisherman are banned from entering the pit and attacking the Fish in there, but they can try to reveal the pit with their skills, , or . However, during revealing time, is not allowed to hook anyone.
The Allies can also clear and placed around the pit, and kill any enemies they spotted.
A is to be placed in the enemy base at the beginning of the game by . No one can destroy it.
can go around the pit but not inside it and he can only hook from outside the pit when fog of war covers it.
Whoever got hooked is out, and become Ghost Fish, who goes ward around the pit.
- If Thresh has allies and the Ghost is killed by the Allies, he can return to Baron pit area to continue supporting his fishy comrades.
- If Thresh has fewer than 2 allies, the Ghost is only allowed to place . If is able to land a hit on him, he is forced to return to base and report to the Thresh set up. From that point onward, he cannot leave and he is only allowed to use the and (if he has) to support the other Fish.
When Baron spawns, the game ends. You can choose to continue it, but if Baron kills all the fish, the game also ends. When Baron triggers his attacks, the Fish HAVE TO escape the pit and return after the hittings stop.
Thresh will lose if:
- Baron spawns (when you don't wanna play with Baron) and he got no fish
- He hits Baron and accidentally kills all the Fish.
Fish will lose if:
- They all got fished out.
- Planned Suicidal.
