Riot, could we get a custom game arcade?
A tab in the play menu where we can go play lobbies in rotating game modes.
At a base, you could have the featured modes from years past.
- ARSR
- ARURF
- Ascention
- BMB
- Dark Star
- Definitely not Dominion
- Dominion
- Doom Bots
- Doom Bots: Teemo edition
- Hexakill
- Twisted Treeline Hexakill
- Hunt of the Blood Moon
- Invasion
- Nemesis Draft
- Nexus Siege
- One for All
- OVERCHARGE
- Snow Battle ARURF
- Snowdown Showdown
- URF
Next, you could have a "Gamerules" menu in which a host could mix and match rules from the above modes, and even a couple others like "only these champions" or "no trading in draft" or "duplicate champions allowed". URF Showdown on the OVERCHARGE map with Nunu only? You got it buddy.
Topping it all off, people would be able to import their own assets to make their own modes. Want to recreate the old twisted treeline? Sounds fun. Ability Draft? Hell yeah!
Now, I realize full well that servers and matchmaking for these would be expensive. Well, I'm not telling you to make servers for these or even to do proper matchmaking. I would be perfectly fine with these modes being Peer to Peer with a simple lobby search system. If you want to give some of the more popular modes dedicated servers, I certainly wouldn't be against it, but I'd be perfectly fine just dicking around on URF dominion with higher ping than usual.
Sincerely,
A guy who misses hide and seek lobbies.
