THE BEST GAMEMODE IDEA.

BlâckLotus·Aug 5, 2016·5 votes·732 views

hello everyone,while playing another moba i found out that it included a great mode,in that mode you get** a random champion** and you get to choose your abilities from the entire ability pool of the game[with some restrictions like only 1 ultimate],Of course the gamemode had some bugs ,some cast animations were not visible,but it was supposed to be a mode you play for fun so its ok if people abuse it[like URF]. just imagine the possibilities Q + Q + Q + R and all that on a ranged champion p.s. the skill pickphase was in rotations and in a draft mode so you couldnt get all the op abilities. i believe it would be the best gamemode in the entire game if its made possible,even better than URF. personaly i made this thread to encourage riot to make good game modes,i didnt enjoy the nexus siege mode that much to be honest.

How about rather than selecting your abilities, the game picks them at random for you.

To help prevent overpowered kits, the abilities could be placed in categories like CC, Damage, etc. and you only get one or two abilities from each category, additionally, the game tweaks the abilities you receive based on champion class.

Instead of just tweaking based on class, it should tweak based on Champs themselves. Either make the abilities fit the stats of the champ, or make the stats fit the abilities.

Probably, because Poppy's Steadfast Presence would be nigh useless on a pure HP tank like Vladimir (who isn't really a tank, I get that, but he has a lot of HP, nonetheless) just for example.

random abilities would make some people's characters unplayable.

Well Karthus and Teemo aren't available in One-For-All so this wouldn't be the first time they've disabled a champion on a certain gamemode.

Can you imagine that Karthus, though? By level 6 your entire team must have Zhonya's and Banshee's or they're going to all die, even then they can suffer 3 Karthus ults.

two people cant have the same ability,1 ability can only be picked once.

Yes yes, Ability Draft, etc.

Still waiting on Urf Nemesis.

It could be called Chimera or something.

Still, it's hard to imagine something like that put into practice. You can't realistically keep track of the abilities the other team picked. Some abilities are purposely made weaker than others as that power is being used elsewhere in the kit. It's easy to see one dominant 'chimera' destroying games.

Like this: Brand's Pillar of Flame Lux's Luscent Singularity Corki's Valkyrie Sejuani's Glacial Prison

This is not the most overpowered skill set, but an extremely frustrating one to play against. With cc, aoe, and an engage/escape, it's impossible to lane with.

maybe with some tweatks,like giving players passive tenacity, like in urf it could work as far as cc goes but its a game mode meant to give players fun.jhin with 4 skills that give him attack speed could probably reach 4k damage.

How do you suppose we keep track of enemy skills?

BlâckLotusAug 5, 20161 votes

when you left click the enemy you can see his abilities.

Clarity's still an issue, but I suppose it can pass considering the chaos of it all.

It's going to be hell for the programmer who's in charge.

imagine that it will not be as dificult to produce as a game mode regarding visuals,in a sense that you can get zac's q on graves,but its zac's hands that will be stretched when graves presses q.

I imagine that a champion's abilities are hardwired to the champion, and retrieving that data for the purposes of the game mode will be frustrating to say the least.

BlâckLotusAug 5, 20161 votes

its worth the effort if you ask me,just imagine the possibilities,teemos E +cassiopeias E.

There's another issue: balance.

Look at this skillset:

Janna Eye of the Storm Zilean Rewind Yasuo Wind Wall Janna Monsoon

We're looking at a kit that doesn't allow the enemy to do anything, wind wall and shields being up every second. To balance these rogue kits would not only affect the programming team, but a vast amount of balance/playtesting team resources.

BlâckLotusAug 5, 20161 votes

in the game mode picking skills was in rotations so skills like yasuos windwall or yasuos R will be pretty dificult to get same for zilean's R.so getting the exact abilities you want is much harder than one may think.

PheonixwishAug 5, 20161 votes

Ah ok, from the way you phrased it, it would give the players a ton of control. Seems kind of like a draft, where you try to pick abilities that fit a general role for your team. Might be fun, if it ever becomes a reality.

in game modes like the nexus siege mode riot had to create new visuals for turrets and some summoner spells but its mostly a mechanical issue to create this gamemode.

also sorry for the clickbaitish title.
