New Game Mode: Factions

I made a thread about this a couple of years ago but with Riot now making game modes like URF, One for All and the like maybe they can give this a look.

Let me explain why I want this. I love Lore. Lore is amazing. It makes a game more than a game... but the lore in league stands no purpose. Whether champions are friends or enemies in their lore means nothing in matches. Nothing like seeing Thresh supporting Lucian or Garen killing Lux or Warwick ganking for Soraka. Stuff like this drives me insane.

Maybe Riot could create a game mode in which each team votes for a faction and can only pick champions from that faction. They could even give it a cool twist so that each faction gets a special passive. Champions from Noxus get % extra damage, Demacia gets % extra armor and mr, Bilgewater (not sure if a 'faction' but whatever) gets 1+ gold per kill/per 5, Piltover gets extra experience and so on.

I would just like to see lore actually have an impact on the game in some way. They already removed the big lore stories from the Journal. Give lore a place in the game. Pretty please.

Interesting idea. I'm going to write this idea down...

I'll be the richest Gangplank this side of Runeterra, Arharhar. This would be really cool, maybe just a little hard to balance. Plus you have some factions with tons of champs and others with barely any (looking and you Demacia and the Void.) Then you also have champs who just sorta... exist. People like Shaco and Rammus. But if they can get everything to work I'd love this. Or maybe just boil it down to good, evil, neutral.

What about Ionia? They are going to get screwed with the small pool of champions. I mean, for a long time they didn't even have an assassin until Zed was released as an "Not Ionian, Ionian" assassin.

i understand from where your coming from but i don't think this alone is enough to be a gamemode.
