Neat game idea: Day/Night Cycle
I don't even know where to start with this one! The introduction of a day/night cycle would add an incredible amount of variety to summoners rift as well as boats load of new interactive game play experiences. It concept it simple, after a few minutes the time would change from day to night thus reducing vision by a few units and changing up some mobs in the jungle(nocturnal jungle mobs is a rad example!). Vision wards would show a little less and it would create a feeling of unease with the possibility of ganks being that much more likely. What would make these changes so revolutionary to league would be all the balance changes, unique passives and spells, items and new trinkets, nocturnal jungle mobs(..perhaps plants), and a ton of other changes that would give league so much more to play around with. A few examples of this would be that Leona and Diana would gain unique passives based on the time of day, Nocturn would gain some sort of passive that would increase gambling pressure and Teemo is a scout so perhaps something for him would be that the fog of war he travels through or the wards he place would be unaffected by the reduced vision of the night for a certain duration of time. Items and wards would come out that would give better vision at night than day or vis versa, items such as Duskblade and Locket the iron Solari would work differently depending on the time of day, maybe there would be a pulsating ward that worked like reksais tremor sense. The changes that came during night wouldn't be crippling by any means! It would only very slightly reduce the vision of wards and perhaps slightly by the player. What makes these changes so exciting is all the room riot had to work with to make even more champions play and feel more unique and to add on to the overall environment of SR. Man this stuff gets me so excited and yes yes I am aware DOTA has a day night cycle it took with it from Warcraft thought I'm not sure how it works in their game. I'm also aware that this would takes tons of balance changes and lots of work with new visual changes and content added to the game. And most of all it would could reinvent the game as a whole but I think I would be what makes this so exciting. Anyways! Go ahead and comment and ideas of passives, spells, new champ concepts, items, jungle mobs or mob changes, or anything else that comes to mind that would fit this idea!
