New Game Mode: Dark Rift

Here is the thought, it takes place on the Rift, with the standard 5 v 5 team comp. The differences though:

  • The map has "shadow vision" which would be the same thing that the Ascension game mode has, but instead of sand it's just a spooky black mist. Same concept though, as you can see what your team members sees. Also..

  • All turrets are visible, just like the spawn pads on Ascension. So you can see an enemy under tower and they can see you.

  • Gold income per 10 is increased. but cooldowns and stuff stay the same, so no URF type stuff.

OPTIONAL!!

  • Could also introduce new jungle creeps, ones that roam the jungle and are pretty powerful in early game but will give you better buffs, or change the red & blue buffs to gain new things, like for instance, change Blue to "Silver Buff: You can now place 3 Silver Wards, which grant bonus vision in jungle to you and your team." OR something like that, idk, could use some suggestions on how to change the jungle. Could also decrease summoner spell times!

The premise is, the jungle is spooky and dangerous, especially at early game levels. Ganking will be more difficult, so team fights would be more prevalent.

Any thoughts!!

This sounds cool, but I don't think is has enough elements that make it really interesting so that rito would do it.

It needs more than just "being dark".... I have to say that now. It needs a basis on why its dark, it needs more explaining. I like how you're throwing out an idea, but I'm guessing this is a stepping stone to something more developed?... well it definitely gave me a couple of ideas :3 Maybe a nightmare themed Rift map, with the turrets having a bright light attached. I feel like this could go in many directions, but having nightmares roaming around the map that are the equivalent to rift herald strength and emit a strong light when they're defeated giving map awareness and a different buff to the champs could be cool. Though this binds the champs to teamfight... so maybe have smaller monsters of gromp level go down lanes or something, but they don't attack each other and just go for the turrets. Or something, I really don't know.

Or you could make this void themed with void monsters. and the goal is to steal energy from the opponent in order to get out of the void... I feel like the void is bigger than just... Nocturne's lore... I'm gonna research the void lore more and probably post a somewhat finished product :P
