New Normals|Ranked|1v1|2v2|MAP

Now that Treeline is finally gone, I would love to see a Brand new map that allows players to Normals or Ranked 1v1| 2v2 |(No bans). This map is for players who want to test their individual skill with their champion (micro), and cut out the macro from the traditional 5v5 map. To me it just makes sense to have a 1v1| 2v2 map. I would also love this game mode to allow the option to jump right into the next match right after the game ends like fortnites READY UP feature. This feature would be for someone just trying to 1v1 with their main or 2v2 with a certain comp, adding this feature would just make sense as far as saving time is concerned. Also in this game mode, "I lost because of my team" is an excuse that can't be used. Players will be forced to accept they lost, and will be more likely to focus on the things they did wrong and improve.


Just to be clear, this is ONE MAP, One Single Lane, with the option to play 1v1 or 2v2. For example, Summoners Rift gives the option to play Blind Pick, Draft Pick, Ranked Solo/Duo, and Ranked Flex. This map gives the option to play 1v1 Normals, 1v1 Ranked, 2v2 Normals, 2v2 Ranked. Champ select works like Blind Pick, meaning mirror match-ups are possible.


1v1 For players who just want to fight against one opponent (and not have to worry about a jungler or other lanes ganking) and just focus on micro vs micro would love this.


2v2 I imagine those who have a duo partner or a friend would love this map, just 2 buddies taking on the competition, and again this is a game mode that focuses on micro vs micro.


I also had a few ideas for those who love to limit test but its a stretch, but I like it because it encourages flexibility.

Idea 1: Allow this game mode to let people choose to 1v2 or 2v1.

Idea 2: Create a random option that allows players to go up against any elo in norms. Elo reveals pop up after the victor is decided. (Reveals show players 5v5 Solo/Duo Rank, 5v5 Flex Rank, 1v1 Rank, 2v2 Rank) "Holy SH*T, Im Bronze and just beat a Challenger One Trick"

Idea 3 : For those who have a 1v1|2v2 opponent in mind and want to bet a ranked game against that person, a match can be set by invite.| (jungle and mid repeat ganked my lane that's why you won)| Great for those who like to hit people up after losing a game wanting a meaningful 1v1|2v2 to redeem themselves. (I imagine people trying to abuse this feature for ranked gains so... maybe have a one game per month limit on it vs the same person)

Idea 4: Being that this game mode is skill based, it reminds me of fortnite, and how fortnite has Cash Prizes for its top competitors. This gives their player base incentive to actually try and be good at the game, and also potentially change lives by placing top 10 in big tournaments like Bugha winning 3 million dollars. I could see 1v1|2v2 ranked being turned into something like that.

A Ranked 1v1 Mode (Nexus) similar to how Hi-Rez implemented (Duels) in Smite would be fantastic honestly.

Imagine the 2v2, Yasuo/Malphite vs Kayn/Aatrox. or Yi/Lulu vs Taric/Trynda

This is one that was explored a few times, both through 1v1s at the pro level as showcases and in a few of Riot's old experiments. Unfortunately, League champions aren't really designed for 1v1 or 2v2 modes, so what this ends up doing is creating a game mode that much of the playerbase isn't able to play well -- and also splitting up the player pools, which means worse match quality for everyone.

It might make a fun rotating game mode, but it probably lacks the mass appeal to be a full game mode.

Unfortunately after Riot's last attempt at the mode I doubt they will try again. They practically said as much here. Players didn't like the mode so they canned the whole project. Although in my opinion the reason people didn't like it is because it was on HA, a bad map for the mode with its lopsided bush and central choke point that lead to some degenerate playstyles.

yes the map should look similar to smite with jungle on the side of the central lane :)

Teemo/Cassiopeia. She doesn't need to land a Q to get the poison bonus damage, just needs teemo to auto them

the problem with this is that all strategy and macro gets thrown out of the window, which is a huge part of this game, also would make some champions absolute, soraka cant win many 1 vs 1 for example, when I want to play 1 vs 1, I open my favorite fighting game like MK11 or Tekken, league is a moba

Riot won't actually implement this because "It would take up too much server space".
