The Hunter Limited Edition Gamemode

One person is randomly selected as the Hunter. The Hunter gets flash with no cooldown and 9999 damage, but only 1 health. It all takes place on one large map where you have to pay 10 riot cash to spawn/respawn, and you get 10 riot cash/kill. Everyone would fight each other probably, so the Hunter could sneak up on them and kill everyone. If you kill the Hunter, you become a hunter and the previous hunter becomes a normal player. The game would be ongoing and you could join in or leave at any time. Anyway, I'm pretty sure the guys at Riot will blow me off because "that's such a stupid idea", but it's a win-win really. Riot earns money because plenty of people will buy riot cash so they can go battle more, and normal players can earn loads of riot cash, with some practice. If I can get enough players behind me maybe we can make this an actual thing :)

Terrible idea, sorry. Paying RP for anything other than vanity items will never fly in this game, and Riot has been so successful for that exact reason. The rest of the game mode could be ok without the extreme outlier champions like karthus who could cheese hardcore. Also it would kind of need its own custom map.

Honestly I wouldn't hate the idea if you weren't asking people to pay RP for respawns. As is though I would probably quit playing if this game mode came out.

It isn't that he would leave for them adding a beta game mode but for going down a less Free to play route. Once you need to pay to get in that puts a pay wall up and for a lot of people that is big detractor from a game. Not only because of that instance but it means that the company may do a bigger game mode or change to the game later that requires paid access as well.

You could also swap out the need to pay rp to play as well as paying with some kind of token. For example earning them through normals, arams, 3v3, etc. Such as every 5-10 games you earn a token or x amount of tokens. You could even get bonus tokens for wins and such (or just earn through x amount of wins). It takes away the whole pay to play functionality and mentality out of the equation.
