[Idea] Re-Launch Hexakill gamemode

AlienBastard·Mar 3, 2014·3 votes·444 views

Now I understand that it was on a limited release when it came out a week ago or so, but after I played this game mode it reminded me of something that is no longer prevalent in the meta of League gameplay. That is the old kill-lane. Since hexakill crams one more person onto summoners rift (typically that person goes top) it allows kill-lanes to be, what seems to be, a viable option once more. The reason I think this to be important is for, in my opinion, the little reminder of just making devious combos ((of nearly any champ combination (i.e: the old scion/taric, the old rammus/fiddle, or maybe nowadays Garen/Darius, etc. etc. kill-lane)). So please, if you will, bring back this popular game mode (maybe for another week, or permanently??) if not just for the fun of the mode itself, then do it for the tad bit of Nostalgia that exists within it. Please and thank you. and btw first time posting (I think, I hardly use the forums, let alone post on it) lemme know what you guys think.

Both of the other temporary game modes are more deserving of a relaunch or permanent status than Hexakill.

Well I'll agree to the point that the 1v1's or 2v2's or the All for one were very entertaining, but like I said the reason why I liked this was the Nostalgia part of it. That is when 2 people are in a lane just playing, without a set in stone meta to be in the way, and just make whatever you want. On the other hand 2v2's also did that too so I wouldn't mind see that mode back for the same reason. Now don't get me wrong I wouldn't mind seeing the others returning but (for me at least) I'm more for the Hexakill game mode returning.

For nostalgia? There's no rule against playing something not considered meta in 5v5. All Hexakill does is increase the chances of having a troll on your team, with one more slot for them to fill. Unless you are talking about premade with friends... which still begs the question, why not just break the meta in 5v5? Hexakill was the worst of the three alternative game modes. It was nothing more than SR+1. I'd like to see Riot break the meta when introducing these modes, like they did with One for All.

Kill lanes still exist. What do you think Leona/Thresh/Annie support is? They just don't exist top lane.

Ya you've got a point and I agree with you that they are kill-lane partners...but they are still support roles and I'm not looking for that. Which is why I'm happy to see something like i.e teemo/pantheon at a top lane splitting farm and just getting kills, which for either one of those champs (in the situation I laid out) isn't a support role...and I kinda miss that setup. So if they could make that kinda of setup available again, through hexakill, that'd be cool imo.

YES Hexakill is the single greatest thing I think league has done at all recently. And honestly now that its no longer here anymore I don't feel like playing LoL as much and might lose interest again. please do bring this game mode back its what got myself back into League of Legends. It was absolutely perfect!
