NEW GAME MODE: FREEZE TAG!

Razmat·11/22/2015, 5:20:47 AM·2 votes·664 views

New Game Mode for Dominion map. Rules are similar to H&S (Hide and Seek) with a few differences. Before going deep into the game style, I must emphasis how important team play is and the integrity of the players. I know that's asking for a lot from the League of Legends community but I really believe that it could become a thing. Maybe the version I'm writing up right now wont be perfect but after awhile with tinkering from others, it can be as close to good as H&S, (although that has issues too).

Rules

The game is played on Dominion, 5v5. No capping of turrets is allowed. From levels 1-5, an HP threshold will be placed of 300 HP, from level 6+, the threshold is raised to 500. Both teams are allowed to attack each other during the game. You may build sustain, damage, support, anything to help your team grow, but...

** Important: YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO KILL THE ENEMY.**

Once someone on the enemy team falls below the 300/500 HP threshold, they are considered frozen. After all its freeze tag. When frozen, one is not allowed to move. Think of being frozen as an infinite Zhonya's that must be broken with the help of a teammate. You can not use any summoner spells, items, or abilities. Auto Attack must be turned off as well to avoid any attacking or movement. After being frozen, the enemy team is no longer allowed to attack the frozen player until they are unfrozen. They are allowed to leave someone as a lookout to prevent the frozen's teammates from unfreezing him, but it all depends on the play style of the team. Killing a frozen player results in the loss of a life. You only get 3 lives in the entire game. Once you lose those lives, you are banned from playing anymore.

How do you unfreeze a teammate? In order to unfreeze, the frozen teammate must be healed back up past the 300/500 HP threshold to be allowed to move again. They can heal with summoners spells, abilities, and items. Shields and HP Boosts (such as Lulu's ultimate) can count as a heal at the discretion of the frozen player.

Possible Team Compilation:

Team 1 Sona Karma Galio Kindred Gnar

Team 2 Soraka Janna Bard Nidalee TahmKench

As I said at the beginning, I don't see why any champs should be perma banned. If the teams choose to go damage to get the opposing team in a frozen state faster or they may choose to go support to more easily be able to unfreeze teammates, its all at the discretion of the players. Point being that they DO NOT kill. One of the most important rules to follow. Do not kill.

Since games can go for certain allotted burst of times depending on the game play, I suggest playing rounds once a whole team gets frozen. Or you can just choose to end the game right then and there. Again, if someone who lost all their lives in a previous round, they are not allowed to play anymore in any more rounds. There must be consequences to breaking the rules and those are it.

Some miscellaneous rules:

Going back to base is allowed but not while you are frozen. Another rule that I really want to emphasize; the importance of obeying the frozen stasis. The whole game is called freeze tag so if players aren't obeying that one simple rule, then whats the point of playing. Im going to go a little deeper into the freezing and unfreezing state.

So we know the basic threshold rule about falling below 300/500 HP. We also know that the only way to get out of the frozen stasis is by having a teammate heal you past the 300/500 threshold. You may be asking yourself, what about health regen? Again the rule still applies

**Important: EVEN IF YOU REGENERATE HEALTH PAST THE 300/500 THRESHOLD YOU MAY NOT MOVE UNTIL A TEAMMATE COMES AND INTERACTS WITH YOU IN SOME WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM.
** That means that even if you are in the frozen stasis and end up regenerating HP to say, for example, 800 or 1000 you can not move until a teammate walks by and heals you or gives you a shield. It can be something as simple as a Lux shield or a Soraka heal. These are the rules, follow them.

The only ban that is being place is the use of Ignite. Any other summoner spell is allowed except for Ignitee.

This is all I have for know and I believe I covered everything that I could come up in playing the game. I hope thiss works out and you all enjoy playing this. For any tinkering of the rules or game I would appreciate if people ran them through me but this is a ope source game idea on a public forum so at the end of the day do what you wish. I just wanted to share my ideas with everyone in the League of Legends community.

Edit #1

Ive decided to implement some new rules into the game:

  • Although recalling is allowed, you are not allowed to camp in at the fountain entrances or the fountain itself. You must recall, buy if you need to, and walk back out into the playing field.
  • item 3222 Mikaels Crucible is a MUST BUY item for all champions, even if you already have a heal or shield that can be used on teammates. Since not all champions have an ability that allowed interaction with a teammate, this will give everyone a healing item to unfreeze teammates.
  • This one needs to be implemented now. It was kinda hinted or obvious that breaking the rules of the game was bad but not a lot of people have played freeze tag from what it seems. So now any rule breaking will result in the loss of a life. May that be moving while frozen, camping fountain, or killing a champion. With that in mind the life count has been raised to 5.

To all those who have managed to catch a game when it is up on the playing field, I hope youre enjoying it and having a good team!

See you on the field. ~Razmat
