Why isn't there a 1v1 mode?

I'm just curious because I think a 1v1 mode would be really fun. It would work well for the players who always have "bad luck" in solo queue and I personally always loved to 1v1 any of my friends. League is a team game but could there still be a 1v1 mode? Why or why not?

But wouldn't that depend too much on counterpicks (and since it will probably be blind pick, dumb luck)? I could kinda see how draft pick might work, though.

Player 1 picks out 3 bans->Player 2 picks champion, then picks out 3 bans->Player 1 picks champion

this is really neat actually. It gives a lot of power to player 2 however because p1 has 7 champs unavailable while p2 only has 3. I like it but maybe p2 only gets 2 bans

True, but Player 1 has a huge advantage of counterpicking.

I see it as a Blind pick, but with bans.

League had a featured "snowdown" mode for a while. People suggested putting old ARAM map to bring it back

Interesting. I was thinking it would be a little more like TT, but I think that a smaller ARAM map would work too.

Something called customs.

Yeah, but there isn't a way to 1v1 a random person. Your friends aren't always going to want a 1v1 and there could also be ranked for 1v1 as well. Also, since there are only two people playing, you will either get along or not get along. It's a 50/50 chance rather than 5v5 in SR where most people just end up harassing everyone around them.

Riot had the "Snowdown Showdown" as a special game mode a while back.

However, Riot said that was their least-successful/least-played game mode they had so far so I highly doubt they are very willing to bring it back.

Because Fiora Jax MasterYi Nasus Rengar Tryndamere Yasuo etc. would literally be the only champions picked.
