Suggestion: There should be a "Full Custom" Mode

Timberwell·Jul 23, 2014·6 votes·984 views

In custom mode, summoners can only do limited things. There should be an option says, "full custom mode," when you are creating a custom game. When the "Full Custom Mode" box is checked, summoners in this game will be able to use commands to do certain things. For example, spawning minions and champions, changing stats of a unit, disabling fog or war, and more. This will be easier for some sommoners to test out things, like what will happen if I do this or that. In that case, summoners don't have to go into dominion mode to some testing. Another thing about "Full Custom Mode" is that there will be more fun. Players can create their own game modes and do all kinds of random stuff.

Now, about the client. When a summoner attempts to join a game with "Full Custom Mode," they will receive a warning says something like... "The game you are about to join is a 'Full Custom game.' Do you still wish to join?" If they have no idea what it is, they can click on the "?" beside it, and it will take them to a new window or page about "Full Custom Mode." Plus, there should be a check-box to disable this message from showing up in the future.

Of course, some summoners may try and exploit this. They may spawn 10,000 s to crash the server or something. Thus, there should be a limit to what they can do in "Full Custom Mode."

PS: English isn't my first language, sorry if you were confused by anything while reading. I hope I got my point across. Thank you for reading this.

I do not believe we need a full custom mode as you suggest but more of a "sandbox" mode where you have unlimited gold and choose what champions to go up against if they're bots and their builds. Something that allows you to test certain builds against certain champions and their builds to see what if you're doing on paper is really a good idea or not. A lot of things may work in theory that don't really work in the game.

That feature is included in the "Full Custom Mode" idea... Plus, we could have done more with the "Full Custom Mode." Like something beyond just testing builds. For example, we can make custom games by spawning turrets or giving buff to units, or we can make-up difficult situations to practice our escape skills by putting some bots at certain locations.

I realize that what i suggested is included in your full custom mode, but the sandbox mode in my opinion is the part that has the most practical use and would require much less work than to implement an entire command system. No disrespect to you or your idea, but an entire full custom mode such as the one you suggest just isn't something I can see riot doing in the future, I feel as if the player base wouldn't use it very often, and those who do wouldn't use it for practice or getting better at the game. It could spawn a lot of new custom game modes, such as Hide and Seek, although we'd most likely end up seeing more of a Cortex role-playing type of thing than anything else. This isn't something I believe would be a great use of time for Riot. if it didn't take riot any time to implement I'd say sure why not go ahead, but in my opinion Riot could make a much better use of their time. Plus as league of legends is a very fragile game, as we can all tell, the amount of de-bugging required before this "Full custom mode" could be released would be insane.

I Agree. :/ But it would be a nice thing to have though.

I have a small amount of fun with those sorts of things in Skyrim and such, but sadly it doesn't really have a place in league. It'd be nice though you're right, its just not something i can really see happening. item 3070

This seems like a good idea. There's a lot of builds and items I want to try on certain champions, but since I don't know if it would do well I don't want to unwittingly throw a game. I don't think the champion spawning is a very good idea, but other than that it sounds very cool.

It's good to hear that from you. :D

They should add some stuff that have to do with old gamemodes. For example, make all players have URF abilities, 6 players per team, players have their movement speed boosted, etc. I think if you could pretty much customize everything, that would be a lot of fun but of course, it would all have to be a custom match and not a PvP match that was made by matchmaking.

There are some things in LoL that you can practice only once in a while, generally techniques involving Flash or an ultimate. Lee Sin insec kicks and Thresh flash-hooks on a fleeing target are two prominent examples of fairly difficult techniques which can only be done maybe once or twice a game. If you want to practice these things in a custom match now, you would have to wait five minutes between each attempt for your flash to come up. What I really liked about URF is that I could enter a custom match by myself, and practice high level techniques (since flash is on a 60 second cooldown and ultimates come up right away). I think it's really unfortunate that we no longer have such a resource.
