League of Legends Tower Defense/Zombies mode.

Imagine an alternative way to play league of legends; something fresh and more casual that appeals to a wider audience and also provides a new way to enjoy the game for the dedicated players. A mode where wave after wave of AI come toward you in an effort to destroy your nexus, and it’s your job to destroy theirs. The inspiration is kind of like a Nazi Zombies / Diablo 3 mixture with a league twist put on it. A game mode that would feature a leaderboard system that can be both casual and hardcore. It would be fun to play with friends, strangers, or even solo play to challenge yourself in a new way. You could look up scores for premades, solo players, and even specific champions! The possibilities are endless! It all depends on how complicated you want it to be, but it doesn’t have to be at all.

 This proposed game type could accomplish a number of goals:

 The mode itself would appeal to a variety of players ranging from casual to hardcore. For newer players looking to work on last hitting or learning about champions, you could just play a couple rounds and get a feel for it. 

 Like a pitcher in the bullpen, this mode could be seen as a warm-up to the more experienced players if they’re looking to get their mechanics going without really committing to a full game. 

 This could also be an outlet for a frustrated player that needs to relax after losing a close game, a way to play your favourite game with only 10 minutes instead of needing that full hour.  You can relieve some stress by slaying some monsters and then hopping right back where you belong; on the rift.

 It would also be possible to have a tier system where you can unlock rewards that represent your progress in this mode. It could be simply a border around your portrait for whatever tier you got in to or a number that displays your highest round ever achieved or something else that you can be proud of. There are a number of different ways a reward system could be implemented so that players can feel like their accomplishing something by playing this mode.

 A smaller map with one (maybe two?) smaller lanes that could have neutral objectives or some other interesting mechanic worked in somehow. It could highlight the best parts of the less popular maps  You have a base but you only have one life per round (or a similar system) and you work to destroy the enemy nexus (something everyone who plays league of legends can relate to). There are a number of ways to bring in the best parts of all of the game modes that everyone would be familiar with but a new way to enjoy them.

 You get a buy period where absorb all the xp earned (which is a fixed amount) and level up. The xp and gold would both be distributed during this time to prevent farming a lower level indefinitely to make the next rounds easier with more items and levels. Map specific items could be introduced just like the other maps/instances/raids whatever you want it to be.

 This game mode combines popular concepts of other successful games with a completely new way to enjoy them. It would be challenging; simple to grasp but difficult to master which is something that all players can enjoy. 

 I’d definitely be interested in feedback and to hear anyones thoughts on this on whether or not it could be a good idea. I obviously haven’t thought of everything but I think that this could totally go somewhere, so please let me know what you guys think! To be clear; this isn’t a cry out to Riot for something new, just an idea that I had.
