New game mode: Hide Your Build

EDITED:

After some feed back I think this mode would work best with the following:

Champ stats and items are hidden. The store only contains consumables and a Mystery item.

You can only buy the mystery item (500 gold) or upgrade an item you already have. You can refund any item for 350 gold. Game is on Howling Abyss.

Some fun special items could include one that doubles the range on all of your abilities. One that gives 50% CDR (essential an URF item) etc.

Make everything over the top.

This would probably work best if they ever made Ultimate Bravery (or whatever that was called, that thing where you randomize a build before you play) an actual game mode.

That way, not only can nobody see each other's builds, you can't even guess what their builds are either.

So basically from the perspective of Bronze/Silver players?

They should make it so that you have to buy mystery upgrades, and each one must be built before the next. That way, you are forced to build the items but you can also get potions and wards.

I wouldn't only hide the items, but also all other stats too, and make the game mode run on ultimate bravery. HP would only be shown as a %age.

Eventually you would guesstimate who is tanky, and who does damage, but that's it.

would be even funnier if there are new Items for the Mode.

To be honest that would be kinda shitty. First, it would get boring since it's nearly the same thing, expect you can only see you own build. Secondly, you can easily guess their build, if you are dealing too little damage, they're building some sort of Armor/Mr items, if they are spamming a lot, they probably have Cdr and/or Mana/Mana Regen, if they are dealing lots of damage, they are building AP/AD, if they are dealing lots of damage even if not that fed despite your Armor/Mr, they are building Magic/Armor Pen. The movement speed is easy to guess by seeing how fast they move, the crit chance is also easy by seeing the % of times they crit and life steal is easy too. And the worst of all, there are lots of items with noticeable passives, witch would ruin everything.

It seems like a wonderful idea, but it looks like it will get redundant and stale pretty quickly. It would just feel like a regular match as times goes on

Yeah you may not know how to itemize against someone completely, but just knowing what champion they are playing could already tell you a lot just from that and observing your opponent.

If they add some wacky items to the mode, I can see it working, but I think it would just be Hexakill on Summoner's Rift, sounds good, but nothing all that special.
