Experimental Game Mode Idea
The short end is an experimental game mode with a bunch of new stuff added to it, items and summoner spells to play around with, with the added element of some may be permanently added to the actual game.
I find it super fun and exciting of having a time of not knowing what is going on because a whole bunch of new toys have been added to play around with so an Experimental Game Mode to test new summoner spells and items in a temporary weekend game mode is perfect for that where you can play around with new toys in a normal Summoner's Rift game (except the new stuff makes it chaotic) and a single weekend is not long enough to truly figure out how everything works (aka not long enough for a proper meta-game to form). Plus you don't need to worry about balance since it is a fun game mode! So Riot can see how their fun little new experimental ideas are held up and received by the LIVE COMMUNITY with millions upon millions of games played world wide.
Experimental Game Mode Rules:
~ Normal Summoner's Rift
~ A lot of new items added
~ The amount of Summoner Spells or more as added new Summoner Spells (so over double the amount of summoner spell choices mixed with the current)
~ Flash is disabled to see how the game plays without Flash. If Teleport or Ghost become dominantly picked as well then they will be disabled too. These are the mobility spells and why they are chosen as being disabled, Teleport and Ghost will not be disabled at first and remain enabled as long as they do not become dominant choices (if every game you see 60%+ players taking them is them being dominantly being picked; it is not a combination of Ghost and Teleport, it is 60%+ Ghost or 60%+ Teleport). Remember a lot more Summoner Spells are being added and disabling the dominant ensure players have a lot more personal customization for this game mode of selecting the combination of any 2 summoner spells that they want with the dominant current ones disabled.
~ All boots will also be disabled for purchase, alongside Flash being disabled, to see what a less mobile League of Legends would look like, probably more fun to play especially in this game mode with a bunch of new items and spells to play around with. Cassiopeia's passive will be halved effectiveness since no one else has boots either, slows down the snake so she is not being like Sonic on the rift.
~ With data collected. Some items and summoner spells have a CHANCE of being permanently added to the actual game after Riot sees how players used their new toys keeping what they liked to stick around. Of course long term balancing will be done for the newly added spells and items just like every other spell and item in the game.
I just really want to have a mode that is all about playing with new toys! Especially one where there is a chance for some of the fun new toys being permanently added to the actual game so they are not one-and-done things.
