New game mode idea: Endless Minions

Hello,

I'm a big fan of league of legends and Riot. And I thank you for all the fun you let me and my friends have over the years. I recently played your boardgame, Mechs vs Minions and thought of an interesting game mode idea.

Basically, it's kind of similar to board game, or a regular match of league except without opposing teams and ally minions and jungle camps. Basically, your team will be consisted of 5 champions, and similar to aram, you would start at level 3 and some gold. And then the game will start; 5 people against minions.

At first, it will be easy. People will take the minions out easily, but as we all know, the minions get buffed as time goes on (maybe this can happen at faster rate). The object is to last as long as you can from these everlasting horses of minions. So, your team has to plan out which champs to select, who to send where and what items to build. But, this sounds a bit boring, right? People will just stay in their lanes forever just clicking away. This is when the boardgame aspect comes in; missions.

Throughout the match, there will be missons that will help the team if they succeed or make things harder if they fail. So, one example is make these crystals that they have to gather in the jungle. So, they have to make a choice between who to send and if it's worth it for them. If they succeed maybe the minions will spawn slower or the champions will get buffs or money. If they fail, maybe the minions get stronger or a rift heralds will spawn. I'm sure as the board game creator, you can apply all the missons from the boardgame into this mode.

So, after your team lasts as long as you can, but at the end, the minions will win. But, depending on how many minions you killed or how long you lasted, the leaderboards will show everyone how well you did.

I think this mode is also a good way to also market for your boardgame. I love both games, and I would love it if more people knew about the boardgame.

I would enjoy it but I foresee at least three problems

  1. it's not fast enough and overseas gamers apparently pay by the hour for internet
  2. some champions are much better at this than others and a meta would develop too quickly (unless they have some very specific items to counter this, which would probably be better on other champions)
  3. only so many objects can be present in a match at once. Riot demonstrated this with Draven's april fools' day prank causing games to crash from just poor optimization

You need to increase minion damage however and do something like casters deal magic damage and siege dealing half of each. Otherwise, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6zwkJkcmhs
