Game Mode Idea: ACTUAL 1v9

You know how we joke around how someone can get so fed out of their minds, that they end up winning a game completely on their own, with the the rest of their team being nothing more than a hindrance to them?

Well, what if Riot made this a reality?

1 player vs 9 doom bots. The lone player would be stupidly buffed, like URF mode buffed, but even more so. And since it would feel pretty crappy to be 1 of 9 players against a very OP opponent, it would be better to have this one player go against the best bots Riot currently has.

Considering it would be nearly impossible for the 1 player to win, all they would have to do is defend their base for a certain period of time. If the bots can't crack the base within a certain period of time, or the 1 player is able to kill all 9 doom bots at once, they win!

Just an idea.

Should be 9 real players. It's not crappy at all. It would be like a raid boss.

I think if they try to make a queue that only requires one player, their servers would break from an overload since there would be so many games.

A 10-man one-for-all in Ascension.

Do it on the Cosmic Ruins a larger cosmic ruins type map so they spawn and can go out and farm the map without being spawn killed?

I think this would probably be better if we simplified it to a 1v5 player battle, but the 1 person has URF buffs. No bots involved, just 5 players trying to take down the URF boss. Making it 1v9 against bots would overload the servers with requests to play the game, as there will be 10x as many games going on as a normal rotating game mode.

Anyways, this game mode even as a PvP mode has a potential problem. People will want to be the URF boss more often than not, so you'll get tons of people dodging games left and right once they find out they're not the URF boss.

The best solution to this is that everyone isn't told which team they're on until the game starts. Also, every player should have one ban, to prevent champs like Sona being picked every time: -picking a support in a game where you don't know your teammates is usually a good strat to win. -URF mode Sona hurts. A lot. -Therefore, no matter which team she's on, she probably would have a large win rate.

Ziggs has similar issues due to turret pushing power and zoning potential.

So to recap: 1v5 PvP battle Team with one player gets URF buffs Cannot see which team you are until you're in game Every player gets one ban

I feel like this would give a good raid boss experience, although you do lose the 1v9 meme.

This is a great idea. I think it'd be fun if the one person started at lvl 18 with 100k versus the 9 who start at lvl 1 in summoners rift.

Having a kind of "juggernaut" mode, where whoever kills the 1v9er, so to speak, becomes the 1v9er would be pretty fun.
