Game mode suggestion: Nostalgia

YumaS2Astral·May 12, 2016·2 votes·286 views

A game mode that is like a common normal game on Summoner's Rift... except for the fact that the old items are back.

Old items like Force of Nature, Deathfire Grasp, and even old jungle items like Spirit of the Elder Lizard. Imagine mages with Deathfire Grasp and Zhonya's Ring!

Of course some of those items would have to be tweaked to fit with the nowadays stats. For example, Force of Nature would have to give 200% base health regeneration instead of the 40 flat health regeneration that it used to give.

I am suggesting that because I've never had the opportunity to play back when FoN used to exist, and I somewhat miss Deathfire Grasp (though I agree that it was a toxic item). What do you think?

I've always been curious about playing Vanilla League, but the problem is that for this to happen, you'd essentially need to download two completely different games. The patch would have to be HUGE, just to have every single version of every champion and item of that time in the correct state for whatever the time period, and the task to even go back and dig those old files from wherever Riot may have them is probably just too huge and the return wouldn't be worth it.

I don't think it would be that huge. Remember when they added the Black Market Brawlers game mode? Riot would just have to do the same type of coding that they did for this game mode, but to create new versions of the old items.
