[Suggestion] New Game mode Idea: Masquerade

redfeenix·8/3/2016, 5:38:46 PM·21 votes·956 views

I had a random/ fun idea for a new weekly game mode. Please note I have no idea if this is even possible from a techinical / artistic standpoint.

My idea is very simple: your champion model is of another random champion.

So in champ select you pick a champion but during loading screen and in game, your model is of another random champion.

So for example If I picked malphite, my model might get randomed to a teemo's. I would look like teemo for all players, but still have malphite's skills, scalings etc.

This would be fun because you have no idea who your allies/ enemies are (untill you see them use their skills). It would be fun because in a teamfight, people would still focus vayne (not realizing she is actually a tank). ETC.

I think it would be a fun unique twist, but I'm not sure if its even possible to create (ie problems with animations etc).

Cheers, thanks for reading, just a random idea I had! Thought it might be fun.

The game mode could also be called: Champion Switchup, with the models just being switched with your teammates instead of being totally random.

Let me know if you guys would play this or not !

What would be the funniest champs disguised as another? I think teemo disguised as malphite would be hilarious. Can you imagine teemo ulting into your team :D :D . Or a yordle with cho's skills. NOM NOM NOM.

EDIT: GALIO WAS MENTIONED! OH my can you imagine a vayne flash ulting into the enemy team under tower. for the first time it would actually make sense!

it would work but without animations so it would look shitty

I mean they kinda have the whole become another champion thing if anyone remembers the item from the bilgwater special event it allowed you to take the form of a ally champion so I think that if riot worked they could do this

Would look really weird with the mismatched animations, but it would be an interesting twist.

When the enemy Kog'Maw walks into the middle of your team... then you realize it's a Galio. Oops.

It could work like that item from brawler's, where you can look like an ally until you attack something or use an ability. Only for this application, once out of combat for 10 seconds, you take on a random champion's look, which you retain until you attack or use an ability. It would solve the animation issues, but wouldn't be as cool.

Why aren't we funding this? I mean, they did add something similar-ish during Black Market Brawlers...
