Rotating Game Mode Idea: FFA Deathmatch

NotableTrickster··10 votes·1,028 views

I was thinking of how awesome it would be to have an FFA deathmatch mode, and I thought i'd write about that here.

10 player FFA, maybe 15 player FFA, on the ascension map or something like it (fairly large, hp packs, plenty of bushes/different kinds of areas to fight in that give different opportunities to different champions).

I think it'd be a sort of "independent" blind pick, where players can unknowingly select and be the same champion. (Side note: 10 player FFA Yasuo only custom game anyone?)

I think that there would need to be some passives enabled on the map, perhaps ones very similar to the Dark Moon game mode. Mana regeneration out of combat, ult timer shorter, perhaps reduced early game healing, limitations on amount of traps

Optional: -HP packs are few and far in-between, but grant 50% life/mana/cool down refresh -7 Second invulnerability upon spawn, canceled upon moving -Can buy items at any place at any time -What do you think about teams/partnerships? No more than two players can partner up in the 10 player game, three player teams in the 15 -Victory is awarded by total points as opposed to total kills; obstacles, minions, and missions will be added (giant mega boss appears on the random part of the map several minutes in and grants a buff and points to its killer- much like asc) -Item restrictions and champion restrictions; is it a problem if there's a megatank darius in play? - Personally I don't think so, but there is a threat of the game quickly devolving into 5 people going Jax, and 6 Warwicks.. -Summoner skills 50% cool down reduction -Global 20% cool down reduction granted, 60% max.

Whadd'yall think? Sounds like it could be a blast, right?

Good idea, but it would only fit melees , battle mages and adc. Plus you need to somehow prevent spawn kills (e.g temporary stealth mode)

I am open to stealth mode-- or even a tiny individual platform outside of the battle area. Yeah.. I don't think that anyone who is playing to seriously win should pick Soraka. Some champs are not the best fit for this, but I think a great deal many are. Basically any solo lane champ can win. ADC early game will be tough, but with passive gold, they can fight pretty hard. Passive CDR would really help them kite. It's really hard to say who has the clearest advantage, because there's still the aspect of there being 10-15 players, each for themselves.

Edit: Personally I would probably go Kayle and dominate the map. Kayle might need to be nerfed for this map, lol.

I have played a couple of first person shooter games FFA games, that rewarded players for being on kill streaks; you gained more health or some power-up, but you were also visible to other players on the mini-map. Things like this are totally within reach.

Xerath Brand Velkoz Syndra e.t.c Wouldn't feel good at this mode, as such champions need frontline and can't really fight with melees (given melee isn't super stupid).

You can pick those just to die and enjoy the chaos you create Brand Karthus

I already imagine whole desolate map covered by mushrooms Rofl.

Lol!

I was thinking about bans. I don't think Xer or Vel would have it easy, Brand and Syndra can definitely hold their own. Xerath vs WW? Probably not. I bet they haven't tried to do this mode yet because they found balancing out to be too difficult.

But there's gotta be a way this is viable! It's too fun-sounding to not be
