Full build mode

Absolute0Chaos··2 votes·1,195 views

Thinking of a mode like this:

-Start off with 20,000 gold.

That way, it is enough to buy the full build that you usually will not get to when the game ends.

-cannot leave base until you have a full 6 item build at start of the game

Not entirely mandatory. But to compensate the disadvantages below.

-cannot sell or buy more items when returning to base. Only in death you can do that (kind of like ARAM)

to prevent abuse of selling and rebuying a build to counter your opponent's build. Only for your opponent to sell part of their counter build to counter your counter build.

cannot have more than 1 of the same item

To prevent all AD users rushing 4 IEs. That sort of thing.

Boots are unavailable

Again, not entirely mandatory. But boots aren't slot efficient and fed players usually sell them to my knowledge if they're winning and hyperfed.

Can't think of any other differences for now.

Alternatively, Riot can tweak the item sets so that this mode can detect the item sets for the specific champions the player is using, and start with the 6 items based off that item set. Then no items can be bought or sold for the rest of the game.

If the above is too difficult to program, then maybe something like starting with unlimited gold, buying 6 items, then gold becomes 0 and stays there for the rest of the game upon leaving base

This would be a great idea expecially the last part. But minus having no gold ever. Because its not like you can counter an entire persons build by switching a couple items they would need to change their entire build. But i really like the idea

So basically, you would like it if people can still visit the store?

Personally, the way I play is that I have an "ideal" final build for all the champions I use, so if I get to that, I'll never visit the store again.

But your opinion is cool too, the only thing I worry about is that it still gives people the option to switch builds, like a very long rock-paper-scissors match.

Even standard cookie cutter builds have their tweaks depending on the enemy builds. AD carries may optimally run IE/BT/PD/Zerks/LW/GA, but sometimes BT is traded out for BoRK vs enemy health stackers, the decision for GA vs Banshee's vs Mercurial's for defense etc... though those are only minor tweaks to a build

The champs who would likely revamp their whole build would be the tanks typically and that doesn't help them much either because lategame offense items outscale them hard anyway

Maybe you're right. It usually won't make much of an impact anyway. What I worry is that since my opponent is switching builds, I have to switch too. Which makes them switch again, etc.

you need to start off at lvl 18 to prevent adcs one hitting each other with crits.

Ouch, you may be right. But would that be slightly saved with the relatively small respawn time early game as well as gold not having much value?

Now that I think about it. One shotting and being one shotted isn't saved by the fact that you're level 18. So starting at level 18 might not make a difference.

Maybe start at level 6?
