New 5v5 Death-match Mode for Summoners Rift

I was sitting around playing league last night, and I was getting tired even after 35min, so I thought to myself, how can I make a gamemode that lasts 10-15 minutes and is based off of kills, not objectives? Well after sleeping on it, and some inputs from friends, I have found a way, it'll be a Death-Match style of game. Timed at either 10 or 15 min, to keep games short, all Summoners will have access to unlimited gold, as well as all Champions will be level 18 at start. Yes I know, sounds crazy, but there will be no turrets in the lanes, no inhibitors, and no nexus, as well as no camps and no Baron. The gamemode will be a full brawl. Once champions leave spawn they will not be able to return, like ARAM, but with a twist, no spawn pool turret, once out of the protective circle of spawn, you are to stay alive by any means possible, aka kill everything on the enemy team. Once killed your champion will respawn and you can go out and kill some more. I feel this gamemode will help teams train for large team fights, because with so much damage going down, Summoners will have to communicate to each other just to stay alive. However this gamemode will make scaling champions (Viegar, Nasus, Sion, and Thresh) less of a burden to deal with.

Please leave feedback on this idea, both good and bad, if you have any ideas or concerns please comment below.

I was thinking of something like this, but my idea is a full gladiator-style arena, simply a circle with 5 spawn points. 5 separate two-player teams fight to the death (starting with full build and level 18 as you said). No time limit, last team standing wins (maybe an IP bonus if both of you are alive?).

That also sounds like a good idea, I like it. But my idea goes off of time. A lot of people I know that are just starting are put off by the lengthy games, so I looked to FPS old FPS games, where most kills in a time limit wins. But if anything we need a mode where we are full build and level 18 from start. I may steal the idea of the different spawn points when I edit my idea.

i would love to see this. I'd really only play it with a five man team. i still want showdown back because it was similar. all game modes like these should be put into custom so people could still have fun with it.

Soon there will be a 'Universal' build that will work well for MOST champs, and that build will takeover.

That aside, I think it's a great idea, just might need some item changes. :P

Yah I would be worried about everyone going all damage and trying to solo, instead of having a normal team comp.
