Game mode: Howling Abyss Football

[clarification: US football]

So this is a simplified recreation of US-style football on the Howling Abyss map using poros. The goal is to get your football-poro to the enemy's spawn point (end zone) before they do the same.

Everyone starts with the Poro Toss spell from Poro King game mode, but without the Dash component, and cooldown reduced to just a second or two. However, the spell is only active for one player on each side at a time. Basically, this is the guy carrying the football-poro at the moment. That player is marked in some way (big glowing ring around the champion, perhaps).

To pass the football-poro around, you throw it and need to hit one of your teammates. When you do, that teammate then becomes marked and their Poro Toss spell becomes unlocked.

If you throw the football-poro and don't hit an ally, or if you hit an enemy, or if the champion holding the football-poro is killed, the next champion on your team to enter your spawn point gains the football-poro automatically (either someone respawning or someone who walked back for it).

I think there could also be an option for 'charging' the football-poro before tossing it to allow you to throw it over enemy champions and reach longer distances. In these cases, some kind of indicator would appear on the ground where the football-poro would land (kind of like with Draven's ax throwing) so you have a realistic chance of completing the pass.

Think this can be ready in time for Superbowl?
