List of new gameplay ABAM modes to try

Zelnick··7 votes·1,721 views

I've been creating an official list of a lot of random abam modes lately and people seem to like them, even going so far as to say "Riot should make more modes like these." So here I am, the modes I have for custom All Blind All Mid are:

Lore ABAM: Each team can only be comprised of characters who are affiliated with the same general city/region (popular vote wins, otherwise first pick decides). A family that lacks enough members for a team can join with any other family. These include the families:

Freljord Familiy: Sejuani Volibear Olaf Udyr Ashe Tryndamere Nunu Anivia Braum Gragas Lissandra Trundle Zaun Family:Twitch DrMundo Singed Warwick Blitzcrank Zac Jinx Janna Ekko Viktor Piltover Family: Ezreal Caitlyn Vi Jayce Corki Heimerdinger Orianna Camille Bandle City Family: Tristana Teemo Rumble Lulu Veigar Ziggs Amumu Bilgewater Family: MissFortune Gangplank Nautilus Fizz TwistedFate Graves Illaoi Ionia Family: Varus Ahri MonkeyKing Jax Yasuo Irelia LeeSin MasterYi Jhin Karma Akali Kennen Shen Syndra ZedXayah Rakan
Demacia Family: JarvanIV Vayne Garen Lux Galio Shyvana Fiora XinZhao Sona Quinn Kayle Lucian Poppy Noxus Family:Swain Leblanc Katarina Cassiopeia Talon Darius Draven Kled Sion Urgot Vladimir Morgana Riven Shadow Isles Family:Yorick Maokai Kalista Karthus Hecarim Mordekaiser Thresh Elise Evelynn Shurima Desert Family: Rammus Xerath Renekton Skarner Nasus Azir Sivir Taliyah Void Family:Chogath Khazix Velkoz KogMaw Kassadin Malzahar RekSai Targon Family:Pantheon Taric Diana Leona Voodoo Lands Family: Annie Kumungu Jungle Family:Zyra Rengar Gnar Nidalee Celestial Family: AurelionSol Bard Soraka Twisted Treeline Family: Fiddlesticks Nocturne Shaco Ancient Family:Kindred Ryze Aatrox Brand Ivern Monolith Family: Malphite Urtistan Family: Zilean Great Barrier Family: Alistar Guardian's Sea Family: Nami

Notes: Rengar and Gnar were inferred to belong to Kumungu, even though it isn't explicitly stated. Rengar originates from somewhere south of the Great Barrier but it is not specified where. However, was fathered by a successful hunter and resides in the jungle, so it is likely he is most affiliated with the jungle, Kumungu.

Gnar is a yordle. But, even though in the past Gnar migrated north and became frozen in Freljord, he likely originated from the jungle. After being unfrozen, he has become friends with those in the yordle city right next to the Kumungu Jungle, Bandle City, and it is probably not a coincidence that those two regions are right next to each other. However, he does not currently demonstrate the temperament to be a citizen, so he likely also spends much of his time in the Kumungu jungle as well.

Brand is in the ancient family because its appearance is only the result of the body it coincidentally inhabits. It is actually a flame elemental that was referred to from ancient times.

Ivern was a tough one to categorize because he HAS to go somewhere. It was between Ancient Family, the Freljord Family and Kumungu Family. I decided that because Ivern is defined by its current powers and disposition, that the elemental tree-like entity that biologically merged with Ivern's former body is ancient, the forests that occupy Runeterra are ancient, that he should be put in the Ancient Family category. He carries an ancient being and a connection to an ancient time, similar to brand.

Sona was placed in the Demacia family even though she was raised in Ionia, though not necessarily born in Ionia. She was also not treated particularly well in Ionia while growing up and eventually left it for Demacia as part of a new family, making a far bigger impact in Damacia than in Ionia.

Fiddlesticks, Shaco and Nocturne were all placed in the Twisted Treeline Family. Even though they appear evil, they do not appear to have any regard for the undead, ruling out the Shadow Isles as their affiliation. They all seem particularly adapted to take advantage of dark forests, feel comfortable in them and are often shown to reside in them. Nocturne in particular is associated with the treeline as he appeared in that region first, and since he is "friends" with Fiddlesticks and Shaco, it is likely those two are also affiliated with the Twisted Treeline.



Animal ABAM: Only animal characters are allowed, which includes known animals, yordles, voidlings and hybrids. It does NOT include non-hybrid humans, elementals, animated objects, robots or plants. Ahri Alistar Anivia AurelionSol Cassiopeia Chogath Corki Elise Fizz Gnar Heimerdinger Kennen Khazix Kindred Kled KogMaw Lulu Nami Nasus Nidalee Rammus RekSai Renekton Rengar Rumble Skarner Swain TahmKench Teemo Trundle Twitch Velkoz Volibear Warwick Ziggs Nunu Sejuani Azir Hecarim MonkeyKing Veigar Tristana Poppy Shyvana Kayle Morgana Kled Xayah Rakan



Assassins ABAM: Title says it all. Akali Diana Ekko Evelynn Fiora Fizz Irelia Jax Jhin Kassadin Katarina Khazix Leblanc LeeSin Malzahar MasterYi Nidalee Nocturne Pantheon Rengar Riven Shaco Talon Teemo Tristana Tryndamere Twitch Vayne Vi Xerath XinZhao Yasuo Zed

Notes: I definitely don't agree with a portion of the champions on this list, but this list is according to Riot, except for Diana who I added because she handles like an assassin and she was in the blood moon game mode which is suppose to be only assassins.



Hookers ABAM: Only melee champions that can pull other champs towards them are allowed. Blitzcrank Darius Diana Kled Nautilus Singed Skarner Thresh Volibear Zac Urgot



Knockups Only ABAM: Only champions that can send other champions into the air with a basic ability, by any amount, are allowed (anything can that proc a yasuo ult). A special exception is made for Malphite because he rocks. Aatrox Alistar Anivia Blitzcrank Chogath Corki Darius Diana Draven Gragas Hecarim Janna JarvanIV Jayce Malphite Maokai Nami Nautilus Poppy Quinn Rammus Riven Sejuani Singed Sion Syndra Thresh Trundle Vayne Velkoz Volibear XinZhao Yasuo Zac Ziggs Camille Taliyah Rakan

Pets Only ABAM: Only characters that can control/create creatures are allowed. Annie Azir Elise Fiddlesticks Heimerdinger Illaoi Ivern Kalista Kindred Lulu Malzahar Maokai Mordekaiser Orianna QuinnSwain Yorick Zyra Kled Nunu Sejuani



Marksman ABAM: Pretty straight forward, any character with "marksman" in their roles. However, that does not stop you from choosing to go AP with a particular adc. This does not include champs who can toggle between being melee. Ashe Caitlyn Corki Ezreal Graves Jayce Jhin JinxKalista Kindred Lucian MissFortune Quinn Sivir Twitch Urgot Varus Vayne Teemo Kennen



Melee ABAM: You can ONLY play characters who are melee, NO ranged champs allowed whatsoever, whether they be adc, tank, assassin or w/e. Hybrid characters who toggle between being permanently ranged such as Elise, Nidale or Jayce are not allowed. However, champions who are naturally melee and happen to have an ability that modifies the range of basic attacks such as Nasus' ult, GP's gun or Kayle's E are fine. Aatrox Akali Alistar Blitzcrank Braum Chogath Darius Diana DrMundo Ekko Evelynn Fiora Fizz Galio Gangplank Garen Hecarim Illaoi Irelia JarvanIV Jax Kassadin Katarina Khazix Kled LeeSin Leona Malphite Maokai MasterYi Mordekaiser Nasus Nautilus Nocturne Nunu Olaf Pantheon Poppy Rammus RekSai Renekton Rengar Riven Sejuani Shaco Shen Shyvana Singed Sion Skarner TahmKench Talon Taric Trundle Tryndamere Udyr Vi Volibear Warwick MonkeyKing XinZhao Yasuo Yorick Zac Zed Camille Kayn



Mage ABAM: Only characters with "mage" as one of their roles can be played. Ahri Amumu Anivia Annie AurelionSol Azir Bard Brand Cassiopeia Chogath DianaElise Evelynn Ezreal Fiddlesticks Galio Gragas Heimerdinger Janna Karma Karthus Kassadin Katarina Kennen KogMaw Leblanc Lissandra Lulu Lux Malzahar Maokai Morgana Nami Orianna Rumble Ryze Sona Soraka Swain Syndra Taliyah TwistedFate Varus Veigar Velkoz Viktor Vladimir Xerath Ziggs Zilean Zyra



Assassins ABAM: This list is according to Riot, except for Diana who I added because she handles like an assassin and was included in the Blood Moon game mode. Akali Diana Ekko Evelynn Fizz Kassadin Katarina Kayn Khazix Nocturne Shaco Talon Zed



High Skillcap ABAM: Only characters with a 3 out of 3 skillcap are allowed: Anivia AurelionSol Azir Bard Camille Cassiopeia Draven Ekko Elise Fiora Fizz Gangplank Gnar Ivern Kalista Kindred Leblanc LeeSin Nidalee Rumble Thresh Viktor Yasuo Zed Kayn



No Clicks ABAM: This includes only champions who do not have any point-and-click abilities that automatically target who they are clicked on or abilities that automatically seek out the enemies on their own, outside of autoattacks. The same is also true for helpful abilities such as shields and heals that effect players other than yourself (they are not allowed either). However, AOE and basic attack modifiers are also allowed. Aatrox Amumu Ashe AurelionSol Corki DrMundo Draven Galio Gnar Gragas Graves Hecarim Jinx Khazix KogMaw Leona Lux Renekton Rengar Riven Rumble Shyvana Sion Taliyah Thresh Udyr Varus Velkoz Xerath Zac Ziggs



Half-Life ABAM: This consists of champions that aren't quite human or animal; the champions that are undead and spirit-like, robotic, elemental, plant-like and so on. Aatrox Bard Blitzcrank Brand Camille Fiddlesticks Galio Hecarim Kalista Karthus Malphite Maokai Mordekaiser Nocturne Orianna Thresh Viktor Vladimir Yorick Zyra Amumu Sion

Girls Only ABAM: Only characters with a female gender (or unknown gender) can be played.

Skillshots Only Version 2: You can use any champion you want, but you can only use abilities that are skillshots.



SoloQ-W-E ABAM: You can only level up ONE ability and your ultimate, that's it, you must choose only one ability to have throughout the game, but you can also only level up your ultimate.



Elimination ABAM: Players face off one at a time or two at a time, either taking towers or killing each other while benched team mates stay at their base. Killing a player causes that player to be permanently eliminated from the match and the next person in line takes their place. Destroying a tower causes the lowest health, active opponent to be eliminated.



Commander ABAM: Each team nominates a commander (otherwise it is chosen by pick priority). The commander on each team is the ONLY player who is allowed to buy items and use summoner spells, and can only possess a total of 3 items at any point during the game.

I like ABAM Demacia, and Elimination sounds like a fun mode

Yeah I use to have more modes but they werne't as fun, like "only supports" mode created like 60 minute matches, it was terribly slow.

I love these ideas. Also, I saw you put Kayle in the Animal ABAM, but Kayle is an angel, not part animal.

If anyone sees this, feel free to check out my champion concept, Krok, Ruler of the Skies!

Well technically an angel is a human-bird hybrid, and I said hybrids are allowed, so...I guess I need to add Morgana too.

Any chance this will be updated with new champs?
