People want longer games? 1v1 ranked mode? Solution?
Honestly I can't stand 40-60 min normal games so I like 20-25 min, but if the majority wants it then give it to them. So in past seasons I either rarely played normals/ranked, play aram, bots or twisted tree line or don't play at all. These modes aren't as fun or intensive as normal/ranked summoners rift but I just valued my time more. If i do win a 60 min ranked match I think to myself, was it really worth it. Which to me it isn't.
There are people like me that i've seen commenting on boards that like shorter games but I don't think we are the majority. Solution: Give us 1v1 ranked with a dedicated map & this system
- No Bans
- 3 rounds, but If a players wins the first 2 rounds their is no 3rd round and that player wins
- All 3 champs are chosen in champ select so no need to return back to champ select.
- Both players get to pick one champ that they will mirror match each other. This will consist of first 2 rounds.
- The 3rd and last round the system would pick 1 primary class, tank, marksmen, assassin, mage, etc. Then both players are only able to select a champ from that pool of champions of that primary class. Both players could coincidentally pick the same champ or different champs but are not able to see each others picks until they lock in.
- Players can not pick a champ from a previous mirror match if said champ is in primary class the system picks.
- During the champ select process players can modify their 3 skill pages for each round before the 3 rounds commence.
- Players can only pick champs that they have but if they do not have the champ the opponent picked they are allowed to play it. 3rd round all champs are available for the class chosen by the system.
-Counter points/ + Rebuttals
-This is going to create longer ranked que times because it will split the population between game modes making it harder to match make for the system
+The people like me never really played ranked to begin with and stuck to modes like aram or bots, so we didn't affect que times. If people that were fine with 40-60 min ranked games start to primarily play 1v1 ranked instead just means that there is something terribly wrong with 5v5 ranked that needs to be addressed.
-We don't have Resources to make a new map for 1v1
+Riot made maps for Overcharge, Star guardians & Thresh so they can make a new map if they wanted to
-People are only going to choose OP champs like bruisers etc
+So what. Its a mirror match, comes down to players skill/knowledge. It would make more sense if a player picked a champ that is rarely seen (but they practiced with). So someone who has a pocket pick like nocturne or very familiar with stats/dmg output with Dr. Mundo would have an advantage over players who only play popular champs. This would make players study the champion rooster more, potentially make riot more money with players wanting to get better with certain champs etc.
Round win conditions
- First blood
- X amount of CS
- ( First tower ) maybe, it would depend on the map and how they make it. I wouldn't like this since then this would force the map to be aram but rather I would like a unique map that doesn't necessarily have to have towers but some kind of defense mechanism. Maybe both a tower + something new or maybe none and its all escapes idk.
Tip In this game mode since you have no team to help you, playing passive or not making any objective decisions should not benefit anyone in this mode and put them in a disadvantage. Only farming will be the only passive strategy essentially.
Overall listen to the majority and give the people longer games, but please give my people a serious ranked mode that is 10-18 min max.
To tired to type more on the mechanics of the game or how the map should be.
