Idea for a New April Fools' Centric Game Mode

I ask that you follow this train of thought. Personally I felt that this years April Fools' prank came and went with a whimper (aside from Alistar and his new found musical prowess). My use of the word "whimper" when describing my previously stated notion had a lasting effect on me. Soon after the April Fools' prank, the ARSR game mode was introduced. Viewing this initialism, and with a flash of the word "whimper" in my mind, I immediately thought of ASMR. I then tried to think of a way that Riot could possibly have a game mode with the ASMR title to it. The first step is deciding what the letters had to represent. I came to the conclusion that A had to mean all, S had to mean Summoners, M had to mean Mid, and R had to mean random (basically just taking from what the letters already mean in ARAM and ARSR). Next I had to make sense of what that combination of words meant. It could only mean that randomly, all summoners would be teleported mid for a massive team fight, and then go about their lives in their lanes once the team fight ended. With such an unhealthy game concept and meme title, it would only make sense that this would be released as an April Fools' game mode. I also thought it would be hilarious is the League of Legends youtube channel released a trailer for this game mode around a week before April Fools' day vaguely titled "League of Legends ASMR." The video would simply be random champions VO lines with the volume put down very low so it sounds like whispers. I could not actually decide whether or not a player should be allowed to walk back to their lane after teleporting mid, and the teleportation would be an inconvenience/troll or if they would be trapped by Taliyah-esque walls on the left and right side of the lane preventing escape.

TL;DR I let an unfunny at best thought go too far and created quite possibly the worst game mode based around it.

My only complaint is trying to back at 10 health when you're suddenly teleported right in front of the 10/0 Ziggs. Otherwise... I like it.
