New game mode

I don't know how many of you played the 1v1 and 2v2 game mode on the aram map, but i think a permanent 1v1 game mode would be awesome. Every year at all stars we can watch pro players duke it out 1v1. How come we, the majority of all league players, cant have a permanent 1v1 game mode with a separate rank like the 3v3 rank. I think having a rank 1v1 could add diversity to the game. 1v1 would have different OP champions, just like the 3v3 map has different OP champions compared to the normal 5v5 map. Being in 1v1 means you rely on your own personal skills, and mecanics. Maybe changing the 1v1 rules a little bit, first to 100 CS, first tower kill, or first to 3 kills. Would any of you be intrested in a permanent 1v1 or 2v2 game mode? What rules would you change if so?

Well as a ranked mode that would just be garbage IMO.

As a non ranked mode it already exists without it's own queue or win conditions since we have custom games.

Solo Queue is the test of a solo skill, a 1v1 mode would not be very skillful as part of it would be complete luck unless they forced it mirror mode every time. Champions are not designed to 1v1 each other, they are designed to fill team needs which makes them pretty unpredictable in a 1v1 and means that most games would be able to be won in champ select.

It wouldn't have to have a rank, and clearly you didnt watch all stars this year when Kalista beat yasuo in 1v1. Of all adc's kalista is even more reliant on a support, but she still single handly beat a yasuo, so your point of the game being won in champion select is invalid. Yea certain supprt champions might be completely useless, but thats really about it, and if someone picks soraka in a 1v1 they just deserve to lose. Making a custom game 1v1 is no where near the same as just being able to jump into a queue. Winning in a 1v1 for the vast majority of matches would depend on your champion skill, mecanics, and knowledge of the enemy champion. Even Urgot could be a good pick in a 1v1 match mode

Kalista vs Yasuo. FIrstly this is but one example so it does not in any way nullify that the game will be won in champ select for most games. Kalista beating Yasuo is not at all surprising though, Yasuo is easy to beat. He is only scary when your team has no map awareness and he gets to gank people for free. He usually loses lanes.

EDIT: AS you mentioned picking a support would lose and deserve to lose I will point out that all marksmen and bruisers would also lose to a single pick.
