Mirror Match Mode

This is an idea for a game mode which, given the name, is pretty self explanatory. I think of it kinda similar to All For One or Nemesis Draft, but the difference is that both teams have a say in what champions are chosen to make up the composition for both sides.

Now there is a pretty big problem. There are two teams, and five positions for the standard composition on Summoner's Rift. My idea was for red team to pick a champion, then blue, then red, then blue, ... but then red gets to pick the fifth? .. That seems a little unfair, right?

So this post has two purposes.

  • First, would Mirror Match Mode even be a good idea? Why, or why not?

  • Second, how do you think this could be balanced?

I think the interesting matches would happen when flex picks are chosen. Maybe one team takes their Graves as ADC and the other takes theirs in the jungle.

I also think it would cut down some of the complaints about how hard it is to face a Zed when you have Zed too. There will of course most likely be situations where a champion will be picked when one of the players on one team knows that champion significantly better than any of the players on the other team. And of course this would have to be a mode in which all champions will be available, regardless of individual players' champion pools.
