Let us customize custom games

MarkedOfKane··252 votes·5,503 views

Why not throw some things in?

Infinite cash- Sometimes people want to try out full build

Spectate bots- Imagine if you could watch a 5v5 bot game. Create two teams of only bots and see which ones win

Multiple Champions- You could have more than jax on the same team

Start at 18- You start the game at level 18

Why not add this little things? Have some freedom in the game.

I think Riot doesn't want to because they want to keep these "Special Events" afloat. That way it can generate extra profit with event-exclusive skins, icons, etc...

The Joke Your head

No i get the joke lmao. I just wanted to add the real reason

Then why not make your own comment instead of posting on #1 comment for upvotes?

LeeDark30 votes

We've been asking for this for a very long time. It doesn't seem likely to happen. Riot won't even comment on it anymore.

When does Riot ever really comment on community ideas, though XD

This is something both DotA and SMITE do if my memory serves me correctly. And yeah, isn't the idea of a custom game for it be CUSTOM and not just like you're playing Beginner/Intermediate bots?

DrCyanide2 votes

This is something that Starcraft 1 had. Starcraft 1 had Replays too.

Maybe the game would have more features if it was built off of the Starcraft 1 engine :P

Engine =/= Can not be done.

They did all these things w/ featured game modes; ARAM is a good example and URF is a great example.

Why sandbox mode requests have been ignored so many times, I don't know. We know they can do it.... We've had duplicate champs per team (One For All). We've had additional starting gold and levels (ARAM). I understand the GUI is old, but would it be so hard to put little sliders in the custom game menu?

Then again, we still can't change the order of mastery pages. Outdated code can be impossible to work with sometimes.

Considering they're a billion dollar company fully focused on one game, you'd think they could have the time to rework the game. Especially since they've said multiple times, League will never have a sequel.

No CD summoner spells. Ya know, so we can practice all those wall flash at will.

Or we can just customize CDR. Urf in customs!

PanterLily2 votes

Yes, and than they can focus on more complex modes, like ascension or the new one.

50000000000000001 votes

Honestly, URF is just slapping on a buff on regular summoner's rift. Bonus CDR, bonus movespeed, bonus gold income, etc.

We need a sandbox mode where you can do anything you want. Change any stat, toggle minions on and off, turn turrets on or off, change skins and champs in game. Stuff like that.

They said they couldn't afford it as it would require a whole new set of servers for something that wouldnt "be used as much"

Borgamagos2 votes

I would use it alot myself honestly. Lets see how fed we can get a veigar or nasus or sion without your mnions pushing into their base and cutting the game short.

Rrett1 votes

I still doubt that. Just make a command line in game and that's all you really need.

Hetchy5 votes

They don't want us having these things. We've asked for this and more for years.

Also be able to play around with cooldowns to test abilities.

I want to be able to play URF in custom games.

agreed

Set Bots to certain lanes instead of having to remember a list pattern or having to go mid or a lane partner top.

Wasabo2 votes

Also choose the size of minion waves. I'd just make an endless stream of minions (like, 30 per wave)

Ghostcrawler posted about this on his ask.fm/Riotghostcrawler page a few days ago I think. Said that it is something they want to do eventually but that they had a few concerns about making sure it was implemented correctly.

Castman2 votes

There is absolutely NOTHING I find wrong or detrimental to the fun and longevity of the game with this implemented. Also based on some of the game modes we had, these options don't seem to be much more work at all.

PLZ! RIOT PLZ!

NewFoundAbility2 votes

##Why not just learn from Smash Bros'. customization? ##Like, changing small rules for fun and games?

  • Damage amplifier/reduction.
  • Abilities with no cost.
  • No items. Or infinite gold.
  • No minions.
  • No towers.
  • Walk speeds (fast to slow).
  • Cooldown reductions (high to none).
  • Speed up recall (i.e. Dominion).
  • Can all pick the same champion.
  • A new summoner spell? Maybe? :D summoner 31

You can do bots 5v5 just go to spectate dude then make the bot teams, and then if we did this it would be a dota rip dota already gots this

MarkedOfKane1 votes

Can you? Because there was no option for me to go into the spectate spot.

RangoTangoGanko1 votes

i have been able to do it before

Wullf1 votes

Here we go sand-box again, what was even the reason for not doing it?

Cloud Potato1 votes

I imagine its on their radar but low priority.

HolowHall of Hal1 votes

They say it would take too much resources and I think that's ridiculous, this ideas right here would be everything I could want to test out things.

Kahti1 votes

That's one of the things I loved most about Unreal and Timesplitters. You could make all kinds of crazy and fun matches. I spent so much time in my Halo games creating custom game types and special rule sets.

Rito pleeeaasse...

All Day Tay Tay1 votes

the one thing ive always what them to add to the game to make it more chaotic (maybe to urf next year?) is to make item effects none unique. 6 deathcap veigar? 6 infin edge yasuo? 6 GA poppy??

Nadalius1 votes

Pffffft, Custom games are pretty much standard in almost all moba games. LoL barely has any custom games.

They are weak very weak, why doesn't Riot put this as one of their to do list?

More importantly a new client etc etc. In the end they have enough money to do so it is their management that is total shit . Most game mode they made are bland besides a few decent ones.

Custom game support won't happen anytime soon, for Pete sakes the only person willing to make a new client left Riot. More likely he didn't want to put up with them.

Riot doesn't care about its playerbase anymore. Season 1 Riot would've considered it, as they were truly a company of gamers for gamers. New Riot is a Blizzard wannabe.

The goal is to push out the least amount of content for the highest revenue and image. Seriously, the only reason the texture rebalances came out was so LCS looks better. I used to like this company.

Scazie1 votes

Because then people would start testing things more, and then the player base would have easy to create proof of how OP/UP things are, and then Riot's balance team would be in a very awkward spot. Kidding, Riot doesn't have a a balance team.

JimmyNtheKudos1 votes

Oh man being able to control your level and items would be amazing to practice and try new builds. I think the game would also grow massively, as more people would be inclined to try all sorts of things.

Stiv12341 votes

Just put in a little toggle button which enables console commands if ticked before the game, much like you can enable cheats in DotA. Then you can level up things, give items, toggle minion spawn, give gold, determine CDR and Mana Costs and so on.

Xpookie1 votes

Yes,also sometimes I just wanna go and try some flash and some skills combined with flash, cant I get a low cd flash ?? plz rito

Cool down resets would also be very nice

Demogir1 votes

All past game modes in custom would be good

Budupops1 votes

how is this going to make them $

Shosuko1 votes

I would definitely like to see custom game mode enable for better testing. We get a certain amount of information and forced to test it only in real games. Bot games don't even help because of the snowballers, early bait / killers, and the fact that the game averages about 20-25 minutes, you can barely kill baron by the time the game is over lol.
