Gamemode Idea: Custom Champions

Alloramu··3 votes·660 views

Hi Com,

I've recently spent a bit too much time in my thought and came up with an idea for a new gamemode :) Since I think this kind of gamemode could be pretty crazy yet very interesting and creatively sophisticated, I just wanted to share the idea with the community.

So:

Basically, this mode is about creating your own champion instead of selecting an existing champion. So "Champion-Select" would become more of a "Champion-Create" phase. During this phase, players have to arrange their own Champion, with the following things to be selected:

  • Passive-Skill
  • Q-Skill
  • W-Skill
  • E-Skill
  • R-Skill
  • Champion-Model

Players are allowed to compose a kit out of all skills and championsmodels to exist so far, yet there are some restrictions like: You always have to choose a Q-Skill as your Q, and W-Skill as your W, etc.. So you can't just compose a kit out of 4 Ultimate-Skills for example.

To be honest I didn't yet come up with an accurate concept, but I think you can tell what my primary idea is.

I'd really appreciate any kind of feedback on this idea. Do you like it? Do you think it would be fun to play this mode? (after all "fun" seems to be the goal of "fun-modes") Do you think this mode would be doable in terms of coding?

Cya,

Zahikusa

That's exactly the kind of crazy stuff people would potentially come up with :D And since everyone could compose their own op champions being op in their own, different way, that'd be alot of fun in my opinion.

But think about how anti fun that would be, you would get autoed from a screen away, esp w/ hurricane.

Also more fun, Yi Q, Vlad W, Fizz E, Trynd ult, kat Passive. Have fun.

This is why Valve went with Ability Draft instead of Legends of DOTA.

Ability Draft means you can pick abilities away from your opponents and keep people from getting a stupidly powerful build, not to mention the abilities laid out are all random.

In Legends of DOTA, where you just pick your hero and your abilities freely, stuff like that is a real issue.

I feel like there are so many combinations that it would be impossible to pick them away.

Imo it would be more fun if it was all randomized but then you could get a bunch of filler abilities and that would suck.

Blitzcrank Q, Taric W, Morgana E, Sona R, Braum passive. Base champ anything tanky.

This has been suggested before. It does sound incredibly fun, and every time I hear of it my brain goes crazy thinking of all sorts of combinations.

My champion would probably be:

Model: Ryze. Passive: Kennen. Q: Taliyah. W: Dr. Mundo. E: Tahm Kench. R: Swain.

I hope Riot does this someday, but it seems like a lot of work. There are currently 131 champions in the game. If each one of them has 4 abilities, Q, W, E, and R, that's 524 abilities. That means 520 abilities per champion that that champion doesn't have an animation for.

You could have spell effects look the same, but animations are important. The arrow fired by a different champion using a Varus Q could look like a Varus Q, but what would the champion look like while charging the Varus Q?

sounds like it would be a broken mess and the total opposite of fun for anyone who doesn't pick the most broken kit possible similar to how urf is no fun unless you pick the broken champions. so this isn't something i'd wanna see. maybe it would be fun to play with friends in a custom though

Modell: DrMundo Passiv: Volibear Q: Vladimir W: Fiddlesticks E: Jax Ult: DrMundo Most fcked up tank anybody ever created....

Or other passiv: Malzahar This mode will be unbalanced AF, everybody would play either troll things, or fcked up oneshot ADC-s (like: MissFortune passiv, Rengar Q, TwistedFate W, Udyr E and Alistar or Volibear R... just hit all keys, and then AA once, you oneshoe everybody....) or more fcked up tanks as I wrote it down... idea is great, but unreal, to much unbalanced abilites... oh, and how do you do the differencies between "Mana, Energy HP ETC" based abilites? like Ashe suddenly has energy pool too if I gave him Zed Q?
