New game mode that starts with both teams at lvl 18 and 6 items.

I feel like most games end so early that we barely ever get to see the actual late game where both teams are fully capped in levels and gold. I know it sounds kind of ridiculous, but what fun and new game mode hasn't been? Obviously, everyone is just going to pick late game scaling champions like Vayne, Jax, or Ryze, etc... but so what? How many times have both teams made it to late game with the best scaling champions AND full build? Probably not even once. However; if that has actually happened, the game would already be 50+ minutes in and all the players would start getting stressed, annoyed, and tired. I just watched a CJ Entus vs JIN AIR game in the LCK that lasted 79 minutes long. I wouldn't even want to watch a game that lasted that long, let alone play in one. I tuned into the game in like the last 20 minutes or so which inspired me to this idea. It was a pretty crazy game tho Capt Jack broke the world record with 726 cs in a league championship game. Anyways, just a thought that came to mind didn't really think it all the way through yet. But yeah, if you got any ideas that can add onto it feel free to leave a comment. Draft mode or blind pick? Summoner's rift or ARAM? If Summoner's rift, start with 4 dragon stacks or 0 stacks? stuff like that. Imagine one of these teams with 5 dragon stacks and baron buff.

Since by level 18 with full build farming is pointless (save the infini-scaling turds), the focus would be team fights. Hence, Howling Abyss.

I had an idea like this a while ago. Games would be boring and there'd be no strategy. It'd just become a pissing contest for who decided to build the best :/.

Actually, most late game champions would totally suck in this mode, because they tend to scale off of items or abilities that ramp up, like Seraph's embrace, Nasus' Siphoning strike. Jax, Vayne, Kog, and maybe a couple others would do exceedingly well because of their kits working independently of ramp up, but that would be about it.

Mana hungry champions would be screwed as there are no good mana items you can just go buy anymore. You have to build up a tier or RoA if you want lots of mana. So Ryze and friends would actually suck here, unless it let you just buy fully stacked items.

I think this mode would be great since it would be much better at teaching people about forcing objectives and defending them, rather than just farming more or chasing more kills.

the only problem i see is certain champions like nasus or veigar who scale endlessly. i guess they just wouldn't be picked

Pick a hyper carry like Yasuo or Vayne, pick the best 6 items available against the enemy team, enjoy your free win!
