New FGM Idea: Just Bot

A new 1v1/2v2 mode as an alternative to Snowdown. Just Bot focuses on adapting the life of a Dominion bot laner as a new twist on the 1v1/2v2 concept.

The aim of the game is simple: first to 5 points wins. 1 point for neutralizing the enemy point, and 1 for capping it. Recapturing your own point grants no points.

Upon a point's capture/recapture, both players/teams are teleported back to base and revived, granted a large amount of gold and experience (a few levels worth), and given 20 seconds of locked bases to buy and prepare. Both points revert to their own team, and minions despawn and are suppressed until the gates unlock again.

item 3345 charges function as normal in this mode, but the cooldown between uses resets when the map does. Use it wisely to defend when you are able.

If players go 4 minutes without a cap/recap, the middle of the map opens up with a single contested relic for capture. This relic is worth 2 points, and resets the map as if a point had been captured.

I think this would be a fun new way to take on the challenge of anyone who dares ask you to "1v1 me m8"


Oh, and Urgot is permabanned from the mode.

I'm sorry... Can we not use that acronym for "Featured Game Mode"... It reminds me of something else...

Actually responding to your post, what does this really offer that Snowdown didn't? The only way you will win, really, is if you kill the enemy... Is it not just a watered down version of the Showdown with the added annoyance of having to take the tower down after a kill?

It's more than just a kill tho. It's a mutation of the bot lane experience, without the ganks. It's your pure ability to survive on your own, and force the enemy into the kind of trouble that would net a response from his team. Clutch revives mean that a kill by itself is not always a point, and the mass gold and levelup after each cap lets you simulate all stages of the game (unless you win/lose in the first 3 rounds), since some champions can bully early but won't scale as well (Darius). Also keep in mind many champions can push extremely well for a neut with their minions, but may fail if attempting a dive, leading to a recap and 1-point round. You need to score several times to win, and through actual objectives (100cs wtf snowdown?) It's more of a real showdown, a full intense duel for supremacy, rather than how short and uneventful snowdown was.

I have no idea what the "else" is.
