A new use for clubs...
>>> TL;DR Players can form their own gangs, and wage war on other gangs for in game rewards <<
I recently have realized there has been a huge following of generic e-celeb drama. While most of the time, scandals and shots-fired mostly flare up, and then die down without much repercussion, or overall effect.
90 percent of the time this is fine. However there is** potential** here:
Suppose clubs actually had a use other than tags in league. In the clip provided, a famous gang war is about to begin. Using league, and the club system, it would be easy to replicate the kinda feeling found within this clip. Popular players, such as Imaqtpie, Doublelift, Tobias-Fate, Dyrus; all of these people could form their own clubs/factions and wage huge wars on other clubs and factions.
While not set in stone, You could have a point system awarded to a group who rose as the victor among other groups. legendary teams could form, sh*t talk would be as real as ever, and everyone could have a great time participating under the flag of their favorite players.
This way (contrary to LCS or Competitive in general), Players could contribute to the war efforts alongside their favorite players.
One way to incentivize players to join and do this kind of this would be to advertise digital rewards such as IP, or unique icons and emotes based on a factions logo, or a chance for a club to put their emblem on SR, similar to LCS.
Battles would be carried out similar to ranked, with standard draft pick and on SR, although the points would be awarded to various teams based on certain Criteria:
-
Players who used out of meta, or impressive play styles could be awarded extra points if they won
-
Players who use too much of "In-Meta" Champions would not receive extra points ect.
-
Early Dragons and Kills could encourage tons of shenanigans to occur early on.
Long and short of it, a Game mode kinda like the rotating game mode on SR would completely demolish MMR ratings and allow for a complete all out brawl with very strange picks and choices.
One giant, Never Ending clown fiesta if you will.
Most of the stuff in this post is a rough, general Idea, but if its something that sounds good, who knows, with enough attention, and some elbow grease here and there, it just might bring a new fun way to play league.
Tell me what you think below.
