#I DON'T WANT TO STOP PLAYING THIS GAME THAT I LOVE SO MUCH BECAUSE OF YOUR PRIORITIES AND ADC BIAS, I OFFER YOU A COMPROMISE. PLEASE CONSIDER, IT'S ALL I'M ASKING. (TL:DR AT THE BOTTOM)

I'm here to offer you a concept of a permanent game-mode like ARAM and TT is, that would appeal to the old fans and could even have it's separated pro scene, all this without you having to create a second server or a different balance team/items/stats.

In this presentation I'll try to show you some concepts, starting by the core Idea of the game-mode, followed by the technical part to make it, and then I'll talk about the specific rules and by the end some optional content that you can chose to ignore.

#CORE IDEA OF THE GAME-MODE: MELEE ONLY ARENA, NO RANGED CHAMPIONS ALLOWED*

In short all I want is a game-mode using only melee champions, but I'm not asking for a silly rotation mode, I want to have the option to always play this mode and have players seriously trying to win the game.

I'll list some basic concepts to try to better convey what I have in mind;

#1. MAP: SUMMONER'S RIFT OR A RE-SKIN OF IT. It's no secret that SR is a master-piece tailored along the years to be the best version of the map modders made in Defense Of The Ancients mod. It promotes competitiveness while offering the best of perfect imbalance.

If I were to ask for a change, I would only ask for a RE-SKIN of it, to become a NOXIAN GLADIATORS ARENA, with a crowd, chains, weapons and a lot of blood. But gameplay-wise, size, layout I want it to be the same.

#2. CHAMPIONS ALLOWED: 73/140

#3. CHAMPIONS NOT ALLOWED: 67/140

#EXCEPTIONS & CONSIDERATIONS: : Although it's a ranged champion, her play-style and overall thematic makes her a fun champion,and also not overbearing to lane against. : She's technically a melee champion, but her play-style is from a ranged champion, she'll just stack AS and on-hit damage items, and AA you from 500 units away while slowing you for a quick and awful ride back to not-fun-to-play-against-this-sht city. : He's a melee champion with short ranged skills, and there's nothing specific that makes him ban worthy. I think he would just promote a boring non interactive gameplay, specially because he's too obnoxious to deal with using a team full of melee champions. : Ranged/Melee champion, capable of proc Targon, it's hands down one of the best and fun supports in the game, his ranged capabilities are very limited and would be a shame to take him out of this mode. : Urgot is a ranged Juggernaut with a unique play-style, I think he can offer a lot in this game mode, making him the only ranged champion you'll have to face in lane often a good and fun experience, specially with low mobility, no self peel and way less damage than a normal AD carry. Can you imagine bot lane ( + VS + ) I think it would be interesting, but maybe that's just me.

OTHER CHAMPIONS I CONSIDERED HAVING IN THE GAME-MODE: IN THE END I THINK THEY WOULD ONLY BE USED TO BE A SUB-PAR RANGED CARRY SURPLUS, SO IT'S A SHAME BECAUSE SOME OF THEM COULD REALLY BRING SOME NICE AND FUN INTERACTIONS TO THE TABLE, BUT I THINK IT'S BETTER FOR EVERYONE TO LET THEM BANNED AT LEAST FOR NOW.

#4. THEMATIC: NOXIAN GLADIATOR ARENA, CHOOSE YOUR WEAPON! [BETTER EARLY GAME]

Every game-mode has to be some flavor that makes it different enough from vanilla SR to stand out on it's own. Therefore I think a Noxian Gladiator-like Arena would fit better with a all-out brawl with our favorite bruisers. Draven's voice actor could be the announcer, and the whole thing could be some kind of flamboyance execution.

The mode would not only have the map tailored to convey the brutality of the arena, it would also include on of the classic themes associated with gladiators in books, movies and series. The act of choosing your weapon to fight. Of course I'm not asking Riot to program animations and skills for several weapons for all champions, what I mean by that is a better and more interactive early game. By simply changing the starting gold and adding a few game-mode specific items to the game (easy peasy lemon squeezy!)

#PROPOSAL: CHOOSE YOUR FATE!

Early game is one of the most decisive parts of the game, falling behind or giving an early kill could ruin your whole experience for the next 20-40 minutes, and weird enough it's when you have the least control compare to the rest of the game. I aim to change that.

Currently you start with 500g, which often leave you with one of the following options:

AND THAT'S PRETTY LAME, SPECIALLY BECAUSE DEPENDING ON YOUR CHAMPION OR MATCH-UP YOU REALISTIC HAVE JUST ONE SINGLE OPTION.

#I PROPOSE TO RAISE THE INITIAL GOLD TO 800G, MAKING IT POSSIBLE TO START WITH THINGS LIKE:

(PHAGE RUSH) (HEX RUSH)

#BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!!!! WITH 800G YOU CAN HAVE ONE OF THE UNIQUE ITEMS EXCLUSIVE TO THIS MODE:

https://d30y9cdsu7xlg0.cloudfront.net/png/7005-200.png CHAMPION'S SHIELD: COST: 800G

**STATS: ** 150 HP 10 FLAT HEALTH REGENERATION PER 5 SECONDS.

PASSIVE: GENERATES A PERMANENT SHIELD FOR 100 HEATH. THE SHIELD REGENERATES FOR 20 HP PER SECOND WHEN OUT OF COMBAT FOR MORE THAN 10 SECONDS.

PASSIVE - FAREWELL: AFTER REACHING LEVEL 10, NEXT TIME THE PLAYER ACCESS THE SHOP, THE ITEM WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE PLAYER'S INVENTORY AND 800G WILL BE ADDED.

ACTIVE: CREATE A BARRIER THAT INTERCEPT AND BLOCKS INCOMING NON-TURRET PROJECTILES AND BASIC ATTACKS REDUCING THE DAMAGE TAKEN BY 50% FOR 1.5 SECONDS. USER IS SLOWED BY 50% MOVEMENT SPEED AND 25% ATTACK SPEED WHILE THE EFFECT IS ACTIVE. (COOLDOWN: 15 SECONDS)
