New Game Mode Idea: "Winions"

Cabruh·10/16/2016, 5:57:15 PM·128 votes·3,463 views

Update: Seems a lot of people like the idea. Upvote so riot sees this!

Update two: Just wanted to revise some ideas. Baron buff for minions would be too strong with their stats against some champs, so probably wouldnt add that. Also, what if the game mode was based in a "last stand" scenario where you just aced the enemy team in your base, and you feel relieved until all of a sudden you realize the minions are coming for the promopacalypse (see what i did there?). Its a las stand against a big ass horde of minions defending your base. They arent just any minions though. Theyre winions.

So you get how in summoners rift the minions gain stats every few minutes and grow stronger throughout the game? Yah.

Just multiply the stat gains by 100. See if anyone cant beat the minions push then.

It sounds like another doom bots idea, but it really isnt. You wouldnt be getting of your own minions, which makes them focus you.

At 5 minutes, all minion waves get a cannon minion. At 10 minutes, all minions gain baron buff. At 15 minutes, jungle camps and monsters run down the lane and the minion spawn rate increases twice as fast. At 20 minutes, you should probably be taken down by minions by that time cause winions op.

If riot can add anything to it, maybe special minions or cool new buffs, that would be cool too. Also, having zzrots spawn randomly along with banner of command minions would make it insane.

Just an idea.

So it's more of a "zombie survival" mode, where you and your team are trying to survive as long as possible against an endless onslaught of minions? That actually sounds like it could be pretty neat if it allowed the Nexus Siege-style placeable support items.

And now the concept of a minion uprising is making me want to revisit that Minion King champ idea I had before it evolved into the parasite void support.

This could be fun, they could use those pirate minions. I loved razorbacks chasing me into the fountain. Much fun, such wow.

I mean maybe some things could be changed to prevent some champs from being too op with waveclear and others being too unviable, and some new ideas could be introduced to prevent the game from becoming just constant waveclear, but other than that I think the neverending onslaught of minions idea really works well. Minions deserve their time to shine!

Make a mode where towers do bad damage and don't give a warning while minions give a warning sound when they attack you and do a lot of damage

Viktor would have a fucking hayday.

Pale Pirate10/17/2016, 8:05:41 PM1 votes

Have this happen, but both teams have players and both teams get winions.

ForFoxSakes10/17/2016, 9:23:44 PM1 votes

sounds like something i'd play once then leave it. some champs would just be godmode AFK farm while others just deadweight to the point where people just choose the OP ones and farm until people get bored and quit

It would have to be more than just minions.

Monsters sound fun; what about the Black market Brawlers creeps?

MrAtreck10/18/2016, 12:48:36 AM1 votes

I love the idea of a survival type game mode where everyone has to work collaboratively. Would support definitely.

lnterloper10/18/2016, 1:43:14 AM1 votes

Make it 5 v 5 survival mode. Team on each side but map split in half. Team who survives longest against minion onslaught wins.

Valeckserai10/18/2016, 2:33:47 AM1 votes

Give the winions the same "curses" that the doom bots have! I'd love to see a huge group of baron buffed minions all with Aurelion Sol's passive running down lane attempting to murder whatever poor champion that tried to face them.

If the minions win, I expect to see them flash a Rank 7 Mastery.

Call it "Minions revolution"

Maybe you've just made a new game mode idea...

gamerturtle10/16/2016, 10:44:02 PM1 votes

So it wouldn't be just minions then? This would be a fun mode.

IGotScuttleCrabs10/16/2016, 11:02:13 PM1 votes

Minions would win every game. Minion block op

Also, should use the BMB minions.

that would just be weird

Rocnation9810/17/2016, 6:35:23 AM1 votes

Wouldnt baron buff be completly over powered causing many, if not all, ap champions to be useless after 10 minutes. Then everyone would just pick an adc grab lifesteal and that would be it.

Zepper10/17/2016, 7:46:49 AM1 votes

How about just implement the idea of buffed minions in Doom Bots?

A Dizzy Lulu10/17/2016, 10:08:29 AM1 votes

people would just instapick champs with abilities that do bonus damage to minions/monsters

see master yi q

theminiom10/17/2016, 11:50:13 AM1 votes

possibly make it a 3v0 with a champion for each lane and possibly a few changes to champions E.G allowing certain abilities to target minions E.GZeddeath mark
