How about a mode where every time you die you spawn as a different random champion? They could play around with this too like each person can pick a champion in champion select. Then you spawn as one of those 5 champions you guys selected! Or maybe we don't pick anything and it just picks any random champion to spawn as! I think it sounds fun!!!!

Riot KateyKhaos pointed out the problems with something like this when she responded to a ultimate skin idea for Zyra.

I'm not super techy, so bear with me!
It would depend on how the models for her plants would swap out. Champion models are fairly easy, but she also has models that interact with each other with her skills.
The other issue is, the content would need to stream and not be loaded into the game all at once, so that'd be something to keep in mind. Reason being, if we're loading in 4 Zyra's into a game at once, that's 3 extra champions, and it's something that lower spec computers may not be able to handle too easily. :P (Sona's music streamed, so it make it a bit easier for lower spec machines to handle!) Oh, and picture something like this in Hexakill for lower spec machines - probably not fun. D:
That said, swapping out let's say 9 models 'cause that's what Haunted Zyra has, and this would likely be as complex, if not more, it could cause a bit of lag if you're swapping whenever you'd like.
The game would have to load every champion that was selected and all their abilities then keep them on standby until they were used. This would be a problem for lower spec computers who might not have the RAM needed for this to happen.
The idea is very interesting and one I would love to try out, but there are limitations that prevent us from being able to play a mode such as this.
Jbels4 votesRiot's software capabilities aren't up to par for this yet. Especially considering how long it takes just to load champions into one game

Lawl true...
Uncle Charanko2 votesSounds really good !!! Good that u had this idea
sweaty milkman1 votesthank you, i just thought it'd be fun :DD
DragonsSinWraith2 votesUmm how would this work with abilities leveling and items let's say you start to max out your q and then upon dying switch characters and that q is now not as helpful on the new champion than the last Mabey even a hindrance. Also what if you end up buying a melee only item that's op on one champ die then get a ranged now your screwed
sweaty milkman3 voteshow about when you die you lose all your items but the amount of gold you've accumulated throughout the game comes back into your uh (idk the word) bank? and then when you spawn you buy what you need based on the champion you're playing!
DragonsSinWraith3 votesVery possible just thought I would mention that to help ilmnate some flaws from the start but sounds like a great idea so far cx
sweaty milkman3 votesno im glad you brought it up, :D I didn't think of that, thank you n_n
DragonsSinWraith1 votesMabey the the levels that were earned can be refunded as well?
who needs lp2 voteswhat could be done is that 10 champions are loaded in like normal then when you die you could respawn as one of the 10 champions selected in champ select
JustARivenMain1 votesDota has a gamemode called like Random Deathmatch or something, it's similar to this and the game ends when one team runs out of lives (40), the thing is, it loads in all of the heroes at once at the beginning of the game then starts, so it'd just be heavy on low spec pcs....
