Game Mode Ideas!
**Alright. So I was thinking about a few new "Feature Game Mode" ideas, and I was thinking about a "Capture the Flag" type concept. **
If not a new map, then have it on The Twisted Treeline but set as a 5v5. The flag is placed in the center of the map, and is unattainable for about 1 minute after minion spawn. That way teams have time to set up a collapse, a group rush, or come up with some other strategy to capture the flag to return it to your fountain. (Backing being disabled of course.) I get that there is/was dominion.. but I think that the way this would work compared to dominion would be a lot different in the sense that once you have the flag, you can be killed, and the flag will drop where you die. The only time it resets to the center, is if someone successfully captures it, or if no one picks it up in 1:00 (give or take, it really depends on balance, pros/cons for the timed reset.) Dominion is more global based, as to where this game mode, there is one objective that everyone will be fighting for.
One thing to make this balanced, is that obviously the flag needs to be visible at all times (yes, you teemo loving SOBs, you will be visible even in stealth.)
Im not sure how Rito would want the flag to look, but rather than having a flag on you, your champ could either turn a bright colour, maybe a "Garen's Villain" type icon above their head, or just the classic physical flag coming off of your back.
Let me know what you think in the comments, about how this could be balanced, which champs would be the most/least OP, and if this sounds like a good idea! Maybe we can get Riot to release a featured game mode, seeing as there hasnt been one in forever! :D
Much love. ~Bryst0n
