New Game Mode Idea: "Winions"

Cabruh··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.

Would also be neat in my opinion if there was some sort of leaderboards for people to tell how long one team lasted etc...

It would be more of a "push and win within 2 minutes or you're fucked" type of gamemode.

Who says the push was a means to an end? I was thinking this would just be pure endurance.

How do you decide who wins then?

Plus, if we take caster minions for example, they're going to have 690 AD at 10 minutes if we're going by a scaleingx100. That would be enough to instantly kill turrets. Come 20 minutes, a single caster minion could probably solo all of the turrets.

Perhaps you can't win. Instead there could just be a scoreboard to see how long your survived compared to other players. Some of the people who got best times get a special icon, probably a golden version of the event icon.

Sounds cool.

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!

DarkRitual1 votes

Epic monsters and Neutral Jungle camps come forth and attack as well at times? Defend from the onslaught to become victorious!

Maybe some minions have items. Random caster minions with Hurricanes. Super minion with Phantom Dancer or Death's Dance.

Cabruh1 votes

Eyyy! I love the minions with item passives idea. Have some casters have runnaans, meelees have lifesteal, and even cannon with bork (or some on hit item).

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

that would just be weird

Rocnation981 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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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?

MrAtreck1 votes

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

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

Valeckserai1 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.
