A rogue-like dungeon crawler mode?

Okay, for those unfamiliar with rogue-like games. Basically you go into a multi floored dungeon. The maps are randomly generated mazes. The goal is to get to the final floor without dying. If you die, you get sent back to the top floor and lose all your exp and items. I think that would go perfectly with this game.

Basically you start out at the shop with some cash. You go down into the dungeon, Some floors will have bosses (like actual bosses that require you to out maneuver attacks), not baron nashor and drake who stay in the same place repeating the same attacks. Recall will have a cooldown, but allow you to go back to shop then go back to where you recalled from. Instead of normal trinket, you get a resurrection stone to resurrect fallen allies (either channels, or is out of combat only)

There could even be minion spawn spots that you can capture to help you push towers and other objects to progress lvl.

So? How about this, there 2 teams. The goal is to get the bottom level first. Passing through the door to the next map will cause all allies to respawn in the next map with you. A fully party wipe means you start back on first floor (or least 1 floor behind), but you do keep items and exp. In other words, 1 team trying to gank the other to progress faster is a viable strategy.

This is a MOBA not an Dungeon Crawler RPG. It would be fun to be some of the champs in an actual RPG like game but this game has no place for it. Maybe if they could create a second game that would be better then just sticking a random out of place dungeon crawler in league (although they have a lot of trouble balancing this game, plus their servers, and the time put into it they could never handle 2 games)

There were some custom maps like this for WC3 that were fun, but they were almost always too difficult and if someone died or left you'd end up losing.

Anyway, go play a roguelike if you want a roguelike. If you want something with decent graphics look at Tiny Keep or Full Mojo Rampage.
