Summoners VS Baron

KeyboardGuy ·Mar 2, 2015·1 votes·578 views

This was just a quick thought I had about baron. Currently, we have neutral monsters, and we have summoners, the summoners being the only ones to engage team fights/objectives. However, suppose this wasn't the case. Suppose Baron, the "neutral" monster it is, had a twist.

What if Baron, in the midst of team fights, were to appear for a short time frame, targeting all of the summoners, both red and blue side. Suppose that killing baron **in that time frame ****granted rewards for both sides **- both teams having to decide whether to fight this baron as one, or retreat.

This was just a quick idea I had - Baron appearing in team fights, and the two teams consciously deciding to fight and defeat the beast as one. I think it'd lead to some pretty cool things on the rift.

This would likely never happen, simply because the game is supposed to be a matchup of skill between two teams of 5 players. If you have random things such as this affecting team fights, then really the game is no longer about skill and is more about who is unlucky enough to get damaged by a random Baron attack.

The point of this was not so much to for Baron to be fighting the players, but for the two teams combining as one to defeat it, i.e. both teams weighing up the risks and rewards of defeating it/letting it go.

So, a game that's all about 2 teams fighting each other end up working together? Lol..

You might as well remove baron from the pit if both teams get the buff. Nobody would be bothered to do baron or even stop the enemy if they try to since everyone gets it

Maybe I should have mentioned that they'd be Random buffs. Both teams with a 50/50 chance of getting one buff, and 50/50 chance of another.

If it grants rewards for both sides you create a type of Prisoner's Dilemma. The end result, no one would EVER fight the baron.
