I really hope this game mode gets implemented in some way for the featured modes:

Not sure what to call it, maybe Hardcore?

Think regular League, but no summoner spells, runes, or masteries. No outside help, just you and the game. (would be funny to not have a minimap as well, lol)

Tired of dying because you had -50 hp left and someone ignited you? Gone. Tired of that lane opponent out-sustaining you because he has lifesteal quints? Not anymore. Getting really sick of people going 0/30/0 in their mastery page and never dying ever? Problem solved.

I feel like this game mode could bring some interesting changes to the game; for example, no all-in'ing someone at level 2 with exhaust ignite - no baiting a karthus ult with barrier. Heal meta? What's that? You'd have to adjust your strategies to account for the lack of flash (which, let's be honest, is what the game is built around), and all the things you used as crutches would be gone, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Idk, I think it would be interesting.. Thoughts?

That would remove such a huge strategy aspect. And I wouldn't say the game is built around flash. If you can make your escapes/gap closes without flash and carry a different summoner spell like heal, exhaust, teleport etc. You're providing so much more potential to your team. Flash is a very selfish skill in most cases. There are easy ways to counter every summoner spell. Ignite? Drop a pot, apply a shield of some sort. Exhaust? Either bait them to use it, or disengage when they drop it. Counter life steal? Build thorn mail. The benefits are too small to not be outweighed by playing smart.

Also, you contradicted yourself. Someone going 0/30/0 and not dying? But that'd mean they died 30 times!

Issues

To many ADCs would not be viable in this format. Talk about 2 wet noddles in the bot lane. Only those with some form of movement would work (cait/lucian).

The jungle would also be brutal. I am not even sure if you could clear red blu and a minor camp with out runes. Unless you are NUNU. So much of the jungle assumes that you have X stats to clear.

Mages would have the biggest advantages since most champs do not get free MR per level.

Meta game would develop even faster than URF. Highest base stat/damage champs would be prefered to roll into early item advantages.

Not as interesting as the OP thinks it would be.
