NEW GAMEMODE/EVENT IDEA
FACTIONS
the event will happen every 3 months so 4 times a year
basically in the factions event everyone will get to choose a faction of runeterra to join, frelijord, ionia, piltover, zaun, targon, shurima, demacia, noxus, bilgewater, bandle city (if that still exist), shadow isles and the void.
when players choose their faction they will be locked in that faction for the rest of the event they will be able to play a game mode that puts you on a team with other players in the your same faction and you and or team will fight another random faction using only champions that belong to the faction you joined (all champions for your faction unlocked for the event) the new map for the game mode will be a little bit bigger than SR and have 2 castle bases on both ends of the map.
In between will be mostly jg with dirt paths passing through it that lead to both bases in these paths will lie circles that your team can take control of (like dominion or a domination mode) once your team takes control of the area a flag will rise with your faction logo on it and all monsters surrounding the area your team took control over will fight for your team, and vice versa for the enemy team these mini bases will allow you to buy items without backing. There are no minions to fight only the jg monsters you will mostly gain gold passively and or by killing the jg monsters that belong to the enemy team. The mini bases can only be captured 3 times to keep the game from going on forever, who ever has captured it 2/3 times will permanently own that base, rinse in repeat until your team has captured all the bases once you do that the final base to capture will be in the enemy teams tower which is lined with defenses if the losing team is able to defend for 5 minutes (maybe 10 minutes idk) the war will end in a draw and both sides will get equal points.
now heres the event part
during the factions event a system will keep track on every factions win/lose rate and compare them all in a status that all players can see to see which faction are highest and lowest at the end of the month/event whatever faction has the most wins will:
reward ideas: have the client themed after that faction until the next event (can be turned off through settings) have 5 skins awarded to 5 champions that belong to the winning faction (all players will get to vote which champion gets a skin) in the next faction event have the map themed after last events winning faction ICONS! RIOT LOVES ICONS! and ward skins too! or all of the above.
of course the gamemode will need tweaking or whatever but this is the basics, i got this game mode idea when me and a bunch of randoms choose frelijord champions in a draft game. feedback please.
