A Slower Gamemode

Aeneoris·Jan 29, 2019·7 votes·6,586 views

We've seen several great gamemodes popping out, but they are all going to the more fast paced end. I have nothing wrong with it, but giving a higher availability to different playstyles with a slowly progressive gamemode would be interesting.

I do understand that with enough pressure in both teams with highly skilled players can lengthen the game and increase the strategy in it, but it's still different

I'm not Implying to skew the game to a different direction (as that would only thin out its content), but would expand it with a wider range of play, this could be done with a bigger map, slower gold income, more and different objectives, hell I dont know.

I strongly believe that where League of Legends sits right now, an idea that develops into expansions like this would really give it an extra floor.

I could see something really cool coming out of this. Yea it would take longer but that would be known and It could be great for putting more focus on strategy

We just want the old SR games back when they lasted 30-45 minutes.

At least for me they last between 35-50, I was talking being extendable up to 1:30 maybe? Dunno, maybe even longer

The important thing is that it not the same thing repeating

its time to bring back

N.U.R.F.

cooldowns are 50% longer and attack speed 50% slower if I remember correctly.

And lower movement speed. And every attack crits for 50% of Attack Damage, I think it was actually double Mana Costs and CD...

Anyway, it was described as a turn-based game for how slow it was.

I dont believe holding you back is the way to go, to expand not to postpone

A map that's basically a giant jungle, filled with important objectives, making an overall strategy and things like warding crucial elements for success.

That would not be too far apart from what League of Legends is at right now, which is perfect, allowing the mechanics and items there already are in the game to be implemented so its familiar and a bit easier

People don't want to play games that last hours.

AeneorisJan 30, 20192 votes

That is just personal preference

If done correctly it can bring out another part of the League of Legends universe

Slowmo game mode.

The game Speed is 33% of normal. There is only one Turret per lane and one Nexus Turret. Lanes are much shorter (about 75%) and the jungle is one camp on each side with a Buff In he River on each side that the Junglers contest over.

Games are about 45m long. Team fights are about 2m.

I should've noted that I dont really mean a -Slower- gameplay but a more extensive one, one that can be -Extended- for -Longer-, using the same content with a slower "feel" is just cheap and boring.

At 45-60min in Summoner Rift you most likley have your last build and its a full push for the win. You could either reduce gold income so those truly powerfull items become significant (not your first final at 15min) and you really have to use other items normally overlooked to hold your own.

No need to add more and more powerful items, just a -Progressive- pace

Might go for a item 3024 + item 3035 + item 1042 + item 1036 instead of item 3071 because you need the other stats too as you want to go for longer runs instead of fast runs.

This could be done with a bigger map, slower income and more item slots, it would make it a lot more interesting and strategic than just slowing time.

It would need a lot more development that just storming some ideas like these, but if its put on the move I believe it would be a great project on the gameplay/gamemode section

Story mode or something, Like a versus game, Or like missions where if you can kill ___ amount of minions you pass the level, boss fight is ____ You play with a specific champion and every boss you beat you are able to play them... So?

ive spoken about this sort of things with friends where game mode could incorporate lore for example a game mode with all demacians against all noxians, not limiting it to a standard 5v5 and a whole new map, just thought it would be a better way for people who dont like reading up on lore to explore the league universe

AeneorisJan 30, 20191 votes

Yeah, I was thinking about that

That would require a lot of work for it to feel natural, but it is possible.

Story, new gamemode, war
