League all-star (Co-op vs. AI) idea (Survival mode)
So here we go with my idea about the new game mode, All-star mode.
In this game mode, you have your champions at the Howling Abyss, or another map (proving grounds from old League maybe?). You can recall your base and buy items from it without trying to die to get it back, standard stuff.
In this game mode, however, your focus is try NOT to die in the mode, regardless of the champion you pick. Minions will spawn normally but you will not have towers or cannon minions supporting you; instead, you will have an insta-kill tower at each side that destroys every minion/champion instantly when they pass a certain point. The towers will kill your champion if you reach that point.
If you die during any point of the game, you cannot go back to life. IF all of your allies die before you kill all the bots, the game will end, and you will be defeated. If you survive all the bots throughout the game, you will be victorious of defeating every bot in a single game.
Right at the start of the game you will see 5 bots, each on the same level as you are, and every champion starts on level 1 and 475 gold regardless. Every time a bot dies, a NEW bot will spawn in 15 seconds and will have the same level as your champion. Every bot kill is worth 100 gold regardless, so the team grabs in 50 gold maximum for every assist.
SUGGESTION - What if you could have less bots, but then give you more gold every 10 bot deaths? Maybe But I really depend on killing the bots while having to farm minions on the map. Sure the cannon minion won't support me in time, or super minions from that matter. But what it comes down to is trying to keep up with farming and have a wise investment on the gold you make. You also won't, like the Howling Abyss map, have any jungle creeps to support your gold. You should have a wise investment on buying a gold item and having your ad carry farm up the gold. Mages are also good supports for that matter. You still will be able to puchase gold items in this mode, but the only question that keeps popping up in my head is would it be worth that investment? The mode does take a long time but not too long to keep up with the bots. Remember, different bots spawn 15 seconds after the bot dies with the same level (and gold) as you.
tldr You can always buy gold items from the start to survive a bit longer. It is considered an 'investment.'
During the game, maybe make something like, "After 10 bots die, new bots will have and spend 2500 gold. After 30 bots die, new bots will have 7500 gold to spend. After 45 bots die, the final 5 bots will have 12500 gold to spend. So that will make 50 bots you have to kill for the entire game." I don't know, but it's just a first idea of that.
UPDATE: Maybe I am assuming time factor since you can just abuse farm and the grab kills so that you can get enough gold to spend... I can put in a catch, every minute or so, the bots will spend an extra 150 gold AFTER the first minute, since minions may give out like 12 cs, and that would equal 150-200 gold, maybe, and not counting the big minion. After 10 minutes, give the bots an extra 200 gold per minute after they die... etc, so if bots were to die, they will have 475 + 150(minutes played - 1)... or all sorts of math to figure out. Maybe I'm too much into the math stuff, but this is kinda my explanation how they will get the gold to spend after they die and have no items.
All bots are intermediate bots and are based on a standard intermediate rotation. You will always start on the blue side of the map, regardless.
Honestly I really had this idea on my head for so long I just wanted to get that out. I really think this would be a great idea, but maybe it doesn't have the best setting at the moment. I think it really turns down to the bots and how the map is managed if the bots are going to die very fast after some champions get to a certain level. It really depends on how the players turn out against the bots in this mode. I think it is really fun for everyone to go out and survive the pack.
~ tldr this sounds like a really good idea to make every bot fight in ARAM for one game.
One more question: What is your team composition for this mode?
