[New game mode] Pillager

Played on either Twisted Treeline or Summoner's Rift, Pillager will be a game-mode where only the doran items, trinkets, boots, and consumables are available to purchase from the start. From this point on, players will have to search for item boxes on the field and destroy them. For each destroyed item box, the person who last-hits it gets a random item for free, while the rest are able to purchase the item at a discount depending on how many assists/deaths you have. Every five minutes, the shop will also gain a new item to be purchased.

Those who die to an enemy champion will have a random item stolen from them by the person who got the kill. A person who recently "pillaged" can't do so again for 10 minutes either. The goal remains the same overall: Kill the enemy nexus.

For kicks, toss in old items that no longer are available in-game too. I know a few people who would be delighted to get innervating locket again

This would be rather fun to play, though I would hate to go AD Annie, or even tanky Soraka. Know What I mean fam? ;)

The only issue I see is how snowbally this game would be. One person gets a kill early, doubles their items. Thats pretty huge

Something less cool but more to the point (and more easy to develop): All Random All Mid W/ Random Items & No Shop. The Howling Abyss just isn't random enough. You'd have to buff the towers so players don't just plow through them in 5 minutes due to full itemization from the start, but other than that, it could work. I think it would probably still only last 10 minutes, but that's probably for the best. The random wukong trying to luden's people with his clone will probably giggle for a while, but let's be honest, he won't want to be stuck with the same crap items in the same game for too long. I think I can get a good 10 minutes of laughing from any random items I get.
