New Shadow Isles gamemode for Halloween.

Well, what a way to celebrate Halloween by making a new gamemode for it! I can't think of an area that fits more than The Shadow Isles for such a gamemode. So time to give some ideas to riot about such a gamemode, shouldn't I? :p The map will be based in a huge triangle-shaped 5v5 map. The triangle will contain 3 areas in each corner: The Blue Team's Spawn, The Red Team's Spawn, and the Shadow Altar in the top corner of the map. The spawns of the players will not regenerate mana or HP faster. Instead, the players will start with 2300 Gold, 6 Levels, and certain buffs, including higher mana and HP regeneration, if the player is out of combat. Enemy units will be able to spawn near bushes in the areas outside of spawns/altars. The enemy units that spawn in the area can either be Malzahar's Voidlings, Yorick's Undead + The Mist, Rift Scuttle, and Elise's spiders, all named with spooky names such as Shadow Scuttle Crab, etc. These entities will be aggressive to both teams.

How the gamemode will be played: Every minute, a team will get 1 point for each altar captured. The team that gets 50 points the fastest wins. There are plenty of ways to get points faster, which are: Shut downs, capturing altars, and capturing the Shadow Altar. Wards are replaced with Sentinels [Kalista's (W)]. Every 120 Seconds, a player will be awarded with a permament-roaming Sentinel. The Sentinel has 1 HP, and can only be killed by other enemy Sentinels, or the Shadow Altar. 2 Altars will be spotted next to the Shadow Altar. Before I explain how you capture altars, I must first describe how you get Marks, and what Marks are. Marks are earned by killing enemy units, Champions, or being near a Sentinel being killed. Enemy Units can be found outside of spawns and altars. Killing enemy units will award the player with 25 gold and 1 Mark. Kills give the player 2 Marks. Shut downs give the player 5 marks. Now, in order to capture an Altar, the total amount of Marks of players in an Altar must be 15, and all of the marks will be sacrificed. If players from different teams enter the same altar, the process will be paused until only 1 team is left in the altar. If all Marks are gathered, all the players have to do is remain in the altar for 10 seconds. Altars grant the players extra mana + HP regen, 1+ point regen, and a unique effect: Dealing physical damage to enemies absorbs parts of their soul, giving the player 6-18 HP (depends on level) and stacks. Once 6 stacks are reached, the enemy will suffer a debuff similar to exhaust, but with an extra effect: It reduces the target's tenacity by 10%, decaying for 3% each second. The effect will last for 3 seconds. What is the Shadow Altar? The Shadow Altar is the altar located at the top corner of the map, next to the normal altars. The Shadow Altar gives an extraordinary buff of triple the points of the team that captured it, and a unique effect: Shadow Armor: The player gets 0-50 armor, 5-60 Magic Resist, and Cinderhulk's burn effect (Depending on the amount of points of each team). Every person that goes in the area of the Shadow Altar is cursed, losing his/her HP + mana regeneration, and suffering a debuff named Curse. Similar to Mordekaiser's Ultimate, Curse is a debuff which makes the players inside the altar lose 1-5% hp per 2 seconds, (depends on maximum HP), slows them by 1% for each second that they remain in the circle. Inside the Shadow Altar awaits the Shadow Dragon, an enemy unit that must be beaten before attempting to capture the altar. The Shadow Dragon is similar to Infernal Dragon, with a twist: Shadow Dragon fires massive auto attacks, dealing aoe damage to everyone in the altar. After the dragon is beaten, atleast 3 of the team's members (either blue team's or red team's) must be in the altar. The way you capture the shadow altar is the same to actual altars, but no marks are required.

Well, you made it to the very end. Thank you for reading! I would really appreciate if you answer the poll bellow ;)

Heya there! I gave you a +1 cause i think this post deserves it.

Just a suggestion for the future, I would try and break up/organize/format the post so its a little easier to read. Its kind of a pain and will drive off potential readers/upvoters if they see a big wall of text without breaks.
