There should be a special all-hero-challenge-based free rotation

Hey! I'm Gorillanator, a former LoL player that now mainly plays Dota 2. Right now you're probably thinking that I'm one of those people who undermine LoL and everyone who plays it and thinks that they're superior because they play what they think is the superior game. Well, I'm not. I have roughly 200 hours in LoL, and I respect both games equally. That being said, it's storytime.

I never branched out in League of Legends. I would end up finding a champ I like and sticking with it for months on end, barely playing anyone else. I ended up spending thousands of IP on runes for my mains, thinking I'd rarely play anyone else. My strongest roles were mid, support, and jungle, and I never played ADC or top. This lead to some mishaps later on, like when one of my mains got banned or I had to go top or ADC. Maybe it was my own stupid decisions. Maybe it was because prices for other champs were too high and intimidating. Maybe it was because whenever I got out of my comfort zone, I ended up going against someone who had been playing that specific lane for years. All I knew was that I had a champion pool of about 25, and I could really only play about half of them.

Dota's a different case. Every hero is free to play. I didn't want to make the same mistake I did in LoL and only ever play about 7 champions this time around. I wanted to branch out before it was too late. That's where the all-hero challenge comes in. Essentially, the all-hero challenge is a challenge where you have to win at least one game as every of the game's 110 heroes in a preset order. It's no simple task, and the reward is a simple trophy displayed on your Dota profile. I don't play it for the trophy, however. I play it to play as heroes I'd never even thought of touching beforehand, and learning how to use them and have fun. One example is Puck- I'd heard bad things about this guy, and I wanted to stay away from him. Usually things along the lines of his complexity and skill requirement. Heck, there was even a whole article on Rock, Paper, Shotgun about one of the authors taking on the challenge and being stuck on Puck because of his odd gameplay. I approached him with caution. I thought it was going to be a dreadful experience, and that I'd hate every second of it.

He's my new favorite hero, and I find him to be one of the most fun characters to play as in the entire game.

I would've almost never had this chance in LoL. I don't think I'd ever buy a champ I'd heard terrible things about or play them on free week, and so I'd never have the experience of learning to love them. This is why I propose a special kind of free rotation- an all hero-challenge.

Along with their previously-bought champions and the current free-week rotation, there would be a free champion with a little marking on it that symbolized it's your current champion for the challenge. Once you played as it and won, the champion would then be purchase to play again, and the next champion in que would now be free, and so on and so forth. It would give new players a chance to try out every champion in the game for free without having to wait for it on the free rotation. Not only that, but it would most likely increase revenue for Riot, being a bonus to them as well. Say that the player likes the champion they just played, and want more of it. Now they can go into the shop and purchase it! It's a win for people trying to branch out, a win for people that are willing to take on tough challenges, and it's a win for Riot Games. Oh, and the reward would be a cool profile picture or background or something.

So, what do you think? Does this seem like a good idea? Leave your thoughts in the comments below, and if you're a Rioter reading this, I'd love to hear what you think!
