Introduction

Protect the Nexus! A force is controlling the monsters of the land! All minions, monsters, and other hostiles are approaching the Nexus to destroy it. We must not allow them to get to the Nexus. No ally minions to aid you, you must rely on your other teammates. All 5/10 of you must stop the onslaught of the increasingly difficult waves of hostiles. Each wave poses new challenges and some come with stronger monsters who, if left unchecked, with tear through your defenses to get to your Nexus.

This game mode may have been proposed before, but I always thought it would be cool to have a game mode where 5 or 10 players have to protect a Nexus or something. Each wave gets more difficult as in the description above, and some waves have "boss" monsters. These are usually epic styled monsters.

Possibly even have players allowed to control these monsters as well. That'd be interesting.

Survival! You and your team are stranded. You must survive or defeat the waves of hostiles coming at you. You only have a short time of respite to buy items inbetween waves, so you best be ready! Can you survive until reinforcements arrive?

This game mode is similar to the other, but with nothing to protect except yourself and your teammates. Death is permanent. Allies may revive you however, but there is only a limited number of revivals.


My thoughts on these game modes is something more than just lanes and team vs team matches. Something to add spice to the league. In the world of Runeterra, when champions aren't in matches in League, they must be doing other things, right? Why not this?

I know some might not like it because it seems too much like other games, and it wouldn't have a place in league, but this is just a concept. I first thought of it when I was thinking about fun matches. Like arena style stuff. Waves of increasing difficulty with champions trying to survive.

Speaking of Arena's....

Arena! Thrust into the Arena and forced to fight. Can these champions survive? Multiple environments: Desert ruins, Jungles, Decaying cities, swamps, and more! Each wave gets harder. How long can they survive?

Similar to Survival, but in an arena relatively half the size of the rift and set in a Colosseum sort of setting with different map variants.


So, I know that these might not be too popular, but let me know what you guys think! :D
