I haven't had a desire to play any of the rotating alternate modes but this is something I would play

like flag is right in middle of enemy base there are no turrets retrieve it and bring it back to your base

maybe have xp and gold pick ups and maybe some special power ups spawn randomly on the map to discourage just turtle in base play styles

Could work, but would need a few special rules. -Dieing drops the flag, after 3 seconds of not being picked up by another enemy, it is automaticallty returned to its base.

-Teleport is disabled. -Carrying a flag makes you visible, and marks your location on the minimap. (Sorry Evelynn)

-You can not use abilities, summoner spells, or items while carrying the flag, and you become unaffected by those used by Allies (So your allied Ryze can't just warp you out, Tahm can't eat you and speed away, you can't Shen ult to an ally at your own base, etc. etc. etc.). The Flagholder buff would grant defensive stats though, so you don't just get murdered in 1 shot all the time. You have to protect the Flagholder and escort them out

-Since it's basically a 4v5 when your ally has the enemy flag, there needs to be something to offset this. A global teambuff that grants CDR and some other stats to help (thought of raising CDR cap also exists as part of the buff).

I think the game mode would be interesting, and could definately work out once some basic balance rules (like above) are worked out and tuned.

Capture the flag?

Uhh it'd get to the same place where Dominion was. Shortlived gamemode with little to no fanbase to actually earn for itself...

Rammus picks up the flag.

"goodbye neeeeeeeeeeeeeerds...." powerballs away

Ekko ghosts at the flag, picks it up and ults back to base

Pantheon Shen TwistedFate same

really, this will only work if mobility tools make the carrier drop the flag.
