Some Game Mode Ideas
After the release of the new game mode Nexus Siege, I was a bit disappointed about how it turned out. Don't hate on me yet. I thought it had a unique and interesting idea about it, but overall it just felt uncomfortable. Scaling didn't seem to matter, the lack of having to farm, being unable to surrender... I decided that one of the biggest flaws of the game mode was that it was way too complicated.
> For example, trying to explain the concept of URF is simple: > Summoner's Rift with faster scaling and lower cooldowns.
And everybody loves URF.
> Describing Nexus Siege would be more difficult to explain: > The Attack side of a modified Summoner's Rift must destroy the nexus as fast as they can, while buying Siege Weapons with Crystal Shards that replace the Summoner Spell slots. The Defense side has to prolong them from destroying the nexus...blah blah blah blah blah
I'm sure most players felt lost and confused the first time around playing the new game mode. I tried coming up with my own ideas for game modes I would like to see in League just for fun. These are just fun little ideas I'm just throwing out there, don't take them too seriously. Tell me what you think of them!
(by the way, I don't really go on the boards often...so if these ideas have already been mentioned...oops.)
#Free for All Every man for himself. Everybody loves a 1v1 to show who is dominant, but how about a 1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1? Be the first person to get to 10 kills. Support mains allowed, but not recommended.
#Classic Summoner's Rift Bring back the original Season 1 Summoner's Rift with all of the classic champions, abilities, items, summoner spells... It would be interesting to see how much everything has changed since then. Does anyone remember the old Dodge stat? Plus, maybe it would bring back nostalgia to the 7 people who've played League since Season 1.
#Ultimate Bravery But built in. For those who don't know, Ultimate Bravery is a game mode with completely randomized everything: random champion, random masteries, random summoner spells, random items. It would be nice for it to have a dedicated game mode for it, especially since the website for it is outdated... Plus, it would add a sense of thrill because you won't know what items you're going to get until the game mode buys it for you. Spooky.
#Random Abilities Spawn in game with a completely randomized set of abilities from the pool of champions. Random Passive, Random Q, Random W...so on so forth.
#Amplified Abilities Originally, I was going to write down how Riot could go through and just buff the hell out of all of the abilites, such as they did in Doom Bots, but that would take a lot of work. As an alternative, the abilities could have twice it's normal range, with double its hitbox. Something like a Lux ult would be kind of insane.
#Friendly Fire Probably a horrible idea with hilarious outcomes. Before rejecting this as a completely insane idea, I feel like the community would find some strategies with it. For example, pulling your teammates with a Blitzcrank to disengage from a fight. No, nevermind. Now that I think about it, this is a horrible idea.
I love it.
#Benjamin Button's Disease Start off with 25k gold and start scaling backwards from there. You can still delay the subtraction of gold by killing enemies, creeps, turrets, etc. Although this is not as silly as the previous ideas are, I feel like strategies could be made with this game mode idea. Am I going insane? Probably.
What do you think about these ideas? Are they all awful? I thought so. Do you like some of the concepts? Let me know in the comments below. Or maybe even suggest some ideas of your own. Who knows? I could be an undercover Riot employee trying to steal ideas from the community. We're watching.
