New Game Mode Idea. Tank only Game Mode?

SKIP THIS PARAGRAPH IF YOU JUST WANT TO SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING. I was thinking about the rotating game modes Dark Star and Hunt of the Blood Moon. So i thought to myself, how about a tank game mode! I love those long fights where two tanks repeatedly bash their heads against each other until one retreats or dies. Those fights where two super tanks could fight for 5 minutes, their grasp healing for almost all the damage the enemy deals. That is a game mode I want to see. I think a lot of people would want to play this game mode. Or maybe I'm just crazy.

Rules: An entire new map, 4-5 lanes and maybe a jungle.(?) The game should get people into big items faster than a normal game. 30ish minutes is a full build. The game should make it rewarding for split pushers and for small skirmishes. The items should be limited to tankier items although some small dmg items should be left in. I'm not sure if there should be a limit to the champion pool because since people will be forced to play tanky it will be much more rewarding to play a tank.

thanks for checking this out, i think it's a cool idea but please comment and vote to show what you think.

Also I forgot to write it but if you think it should be changed, please comment below! and I can't edit the poll. Thanks for reading

what if you could play your favorite tanks exept they deal 500% less to champions and 500% more to minions, and minions deal 500% more to champions

I don't know, one problem with an all tank game is that the game would drag on for really long because the tanks would a lot of times not be very good at killing each other. However the bonus damage to minions is a good idea so the tanks can push harder to continue the split push. The 500% more damage from minions is kinda scary because trading in the enemy minion wave is going to be impossible and would make ranged champions very prevalent because the can poke without coming in range of the minions. Also proxying would be virtually impossible.

ik no proxy but tanks don't kill eachother, its wave management and no tanks are ranged and u cant fight eachother cfause u do no damage its a game of waves if u don't clear the wave it crashs and ur turret dies super fast so if you are able set up multiple pushs you are giving one of their turrets a death sentence and that idea is kinda cool

that is really cool. it isn't a game of champions but you're more like a commander and the minions are your army. if you want to win a game you have to manage your troops. however I feel like this could get boring very fast for a lot of people. it would make amazing practice though

How about a mechanic that makes it harder to run away and easier to chase champions? like a slow when people run away like shen's q, or a speed up when moving towards champions like Yorick e or Vayne passive.(another reason Vayne should not be allowed in the game)

What about making it all jungle instead of lanes?

that's interesting but the problem is that it is easy to back off when a fight goes awry when you are a tank because a: the enemy can't deal damage and b: you're tanky. it would encourage for tanks to take part in these long battles that I love but would make the reward kinda minimal. Also a hunt and kill game is not one for tanks, and was used for assassins in blood moon
