Does anyone else really miss Hide and Seek?

This fan-made mode was the sole reason why I played League of Legends for a whole year. It was the best thing in the world and I had the most fun games ever while playing it. I really wish Riot would bring it back and allow the players to have fun with custom game mods. They don't even need to keep updating it item-wise. It was extremely fun and completely harmless.

I loved H/S so much! It was honestly amazing training for kiting and for running away. I played Bard almost exclusively and I started dying a lot less in my games as a result.

Getting LeBlanc in Hide and Seek was an early Christmas for me. It taught me to troll so exceptionally I would literally win normal games by forcing the entire enemy team to chase me around while my teammates split-pushed. Golden times.

Dude, i would always go TF and just sit in a spoke, randomly teleporting to a different one ever 40 seconds. Chasers hated me. XD

Oh, the memories are making me tear up. I would troll the shit out of Seekers to the point where they would just ignore me after some time. Up until my entire team was out and both of them chased me like hounds on a scent lol

I miss it. I used to play it on Dominion back when the map was still around.

I used to join in game after game. It was so amazing.

I miss dominion in general. I remember all of my friends and I would play hide and seek all day. First couple people to die had to switch their spots out for our other friends. Sometime's we'd all just queue up around 3AM and meet up in draft dominion and just battle it out to see who's better. Fun times..

When Dominion was still here, we used to make custom lobbies (yes in the "Custom" tab there was a lot of lobbies) for Hide and Seek only. There were 2 seekers and 5 hiders. It was amazing

It was a goddamned Spiritual experience. The hiders could only use CC abilities, there were rules, there were prebanned champions and you had 5 lives. The occasional jack-ass trolls aside, it was the best thing to ever happen to this game.

Can we just bring back dominion

I think most of the player base wants dominion in place or in addition to blitz or at least to have it added back into custom game modes which would be really nice. I also really miss hide and seek as I played only that for a few months back then

Terozu9 votes

H&S was a custom game mode on the Crystal Scar aka the map ascension and dominion are played on.

There were 2 teams, 1, 5 hiders the other 2 seekers.

The seekers had to kill all 5 hiders within 40 min or they lost.

I liked hide and seek but every time i played it people wouldn't follow the rules

Update: There is hope, with the custom server League of Memories, Hide and Seek can Live again

What sucks is I wanted to try all the new champs that had been released since then in Hide & Seek, I feel like Kayn would be fun as hell as a hider, and Pyke would be a nasty seeker

Koechophe1 votes

Flip those two around and it works too. Pyke would be a mean hider and kayne would be a brutal seeker

It was taken down because riot didnt like that the mode was only being used in "Custom games" "Crystal Scar Hide and Seek" Riot doesnt like people having fun we've established that with the last 3 years worth of updates*[slayer-jinx-wink]*

I loved playing it when I was burnt out after ranked or didn't feel like playing norms.

When nexus bliz is released, the map will probably work well for it.

Ashryver Queen 3 votes

Custom games are no longer a thing.

Pika Fox2 votes

I honestly never even looked in the new client. Hopefully this means rito has plans for a custom overhaul eventually.

Ashryver Queen 3 votes

I was under the impression they had disappeared, I remember looking for the option to join a custom game when Ascension was rotating eons ago.

Terozu1 votes

Custom games are still a thing, you just can't use rotating game maps.

Blossom of Time2 votes

What are you talking about? Custom games can still be a thing. There are plenty of custom game modes fan-made that can be played on summoners rift and twisted treeline respectively. For example: Draft racing, Donger Dash, Find the Teemo, Protect the Soraka, Dodgeball (although a little more fast paced cause herald), and last but not least River Defense, a newly founded fan-made gamemode that is enjoyably fun.

Edit: I understand that you miss hide and seek and I also miss HnS but riot seems to not really care about a minority of players when it comes to making decisions like bringing Crystal Scar ( Dominion ) back.

Except custom gamemodes are dead cause Riot killed them off.

I used to play Nunu and would ult since it was a CC, if someone from my team had a stun, we would team up, for the bamboozle of ulting a full Nunu ult... then they would have to leave because they were below 25% hp. Good Meme

Ashryver Queen 1 votes

I would ult with Lux because "it was vision". Good times.

Koechophe1 votes

As someone who played a lot of hiders, wasn't my favorite experience to have the hiders "CC" me to death all day in groups. My games were usually played with the rule of "only 1 helper", where if someone was being chased by the seekers, only 1 person could help, only 2 people per bush, etc.

Ashryver Queen 1 votes

Oh totally. I was usually the host and one of the rules I added was that you couldn't group with more than one person. It's just not any fun. The seekers are SUPPOSED to be scary.

I loved hide and seek so much! I would try to find a game multiple times a day. I loved that era of league in general, back when they still had dominion and people played hide and seek, there was also a handful of other fun custom games like Ultimate bravery and Baron pit dodge ball for example. but after they removed dominion, custom games like that in general ended up dying off, since people only ever saw those other game modes while they were trying to look for a hide and seek game. I miss those days so much!

I don't remember there being a specific map or anything for hide and seek, but I've only been playing a few years. Was there a certain game mode, map, or something that made it any different than how hide and seek is played on Summoners Rift?

Elewd2 votes

It was played on the dominion map because minions woudln't spawn until points were captured, so just dont capture points and you can play as long as you want.

Best of The Best1 votes

i never got the chance to play it as i didnt know that it was a thing until after they removed dominion. can anyone tell me how it worked?

FeuerfalkeFX1 votes

Not hide and seek but find the teemo, really miss that.

Fargo791 votes

Id love to play a fun mode of protect the president. 1 team acts as the president (Teemo for example) and his secret service.. the other team must hunt and kill just the president. game mode can run for 20 mins or president dies 5 times.. President is not allowed to use any abilities, only auto attacks and summoners..

They should make it where we can make up our own fun modes with the existing modes they have also put out.. like a hexakill/URF/ All for One.. total chaos..

Unpopular opinion: Actually I HATED Hide and seek, when I wanted to do play a game all my friends wanted to play hide and seek and they knew all the good champs to pick so I never had much fun :|

Dominion was fine tho.
