Game mode ideas

MrKeopi··1 votes·5,100 views

Hey guys, there are a lot of great ideas out there that have yet to be heard! Riot looks through all discussions, so why not give them something great to look through. Here think of the greatest game mode ideas that you can, a mixture of modes, or your own great idea. (Ex. One for All URF, Ultra Rapid Fridays) Bring a little bit of spark to ideas to keep riot making this game interesting. We all know the same old game modes, [ARAM, Dominion, Summoner's/Twisted] all get boring, maybe riots just running out of ideas. Lets turn it around guys!Caitlyn

I would love to hear your ideas!

What about a limited-roster event tied in with a lore episode? The community's version, Factions, has been going for over a year.

The main point of interest I see from a gameplay perspective would be the incentive for Summoners to coordinate with each other (e.g. on the forums) and develop strategies for their rosters. Surprisingly enough, it seems that when you split Champions along lore lines you often end up with pretty distinctive lineups. For example, contrast "Poketover" with uber-tanky Zaun, or Dashes-R-Us Ionia with Sloooooooooow-doooooooooown Freljord teams.

Free-for-all queue-driven matches could be combined with some higher-profile streamed matches. The main thing: the outcome should have some impact on the story. Maybe the queue match results determine the overall story outcome (which side wins), while the streamed match represents a particular plot point (the fate of a particular city, or the ownership of a particular artifact, or something in a Champion's lore).

How about a game mode where east coast players and west coast players swap pings, so then those people are at an advantage instead?

Ultimate Bravery. Like the classic version, but "official". You get started with a random assortment of items and you're stuck with those for the game.

Or you're given a full build of random items, but every death gives you a random champion, or the same champion and different items every death.

How about an official version of the Fountain Race game? So you have to try to get killed by the enemy fountain laser, the enemy has to keep you from doing that. You sneak through the jungle, there are no minions, no invisible wards (Pink wards should be allowed imo), maybe even blue trinkets, Pantheon and TF banned for obvious reasons.

You mean draft race?

I don't know if you would be able to do it or not but I think it would be really cool if you could some how make a season one game mode. The jungle could act the same as it did at the end of season one and the available items from season one are back. It would be nostalgic for the people that played in season one plus it would help people realize how much league has actually changed since then. I played in season one and really enjoyed it and think it would be cool for other people to experience how league used to be. I am sure some of the newer champs would somehow be "broken" on old rift but its like that for every featured game mode. Also the game mode could be released before the new rift goes live as sort of a send off of the current summoner's rift.

If somehow this could be advertised or put out there in some way more people would add there amazing ideas. Allowing Riot to look through plenty of ideas that the actual community wants to play. Allowing for these game modes to be taken to vote within the community, would allow the community to become more active with the game. Thanks for taking your time to look through all these comments and ideas! Lets give the community more to look forward too am I right?

I've thought of a game mode where you have a field of bushes with specific spots without, with no walls. The player can teleport to a specific bush (like ascention) first then have to find the other team and have to kill em.

--One death each, then you spawn back as a minion each time until the final champ dies.

It would be chaos at first, but some interesting strategies might develop. The spawned chaminons would have to be a little better as well...

  • You randomly get 5 abilities(passive included) from a pool of champions abilities.
  • It doesn't matter what champion you pick to get certain abilities, its as random as it gets and you wont know what you get until the game loads up.
  • The abilities are respective to what button they are normally on.
  • It will be played like every other match except that you really have no way of building a team comp (except on those who scale well) so it could be pretty intense.

I haven't decided what map it would be best on, maybe on Howling Abyss so either it can be draft pick or randomly picked.

More rules and such an be added to this. This is more of an on the point idea so any additional suggestions can make this better.

I like the idea of Ultra Rapid Fridays :P

But aside from that, what about a Kill Teemo mode where one person is Teemo and an enemy team must track him down and slay him? Maybe give everyone a pink ward trinket to account for his passive? xD

Also, what about a Hide and Seek? Its a custom mode I play with my friends a lot. It takes place on Crystal Scar and there is one person who is the Seeker and 5 others who must Hide and Evade. They can go anywhere on the map in an attempt to hide, but each Hider is only allowed 2 lives. Hiders cannot back, but they can purchase items to aid them in escaping the Seeker after their first death. Hiders can only use forms of Crowd Control against the Seeker (I.E. Slows, stuns, Roots, Silences). Hiders cannot attempt to kill the Seeker. (If this became a gamemode, RIto could make the Seeker take no damage but still get CC'd.) If the Seeker finds and kills all 5 Hiders before 30 minutes, the Seeker wins. If the Seeker fails, the Hiders win! (Also, Teemo is banned because his passive would not allow him to ever be found. )

How about a game mode where the first basic ability you level up replaces the other 2. Master yi with 3 alpha strikes, etc. That would be crazy fun i think

What about a game mode called "Minion Rush" Where its in howling abyss where each wave of minion is like worth 2 or 3 waves and they come a little faster the usual. there could be 3 champions on each side and i think you would need to ban stattik shiv item for that cause it would get crazy op. then there could be a custom summoner spells like one could turn a minion to a super minion and one could be to sacrifice a minion for health or mana, maybe both! Thanks for reading my idea.
