Gamemode Idea: Custom Champions

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

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
