New Special Feature Game Type: Tower Defense

Heimerdinger (Disclaimer: Not forcing anyone to try anything, but at least consider it.) Heimerdinger So, me and a friend were discussing a new game-type they should try to do for League of Legends.

So here is the base idea of the game: It's three lanes, Top, Middle, and Bottom lane specifically, and you have to defend your Nexus from Waves of slightly stronger minions and maybe jungle mobs who grow stronger every passing moment. Each other wave would have a mini boss and eventually lead to a large Super Minion boss or maybe even Dragon as the boss.

The goal is to last as long as possible and to include the same difficulty mechanics as Doom Bots, such as: Difficulty Levels 1, 2, and 5. 1 being the easiest, and 5 being the hardest with some really strong waves for your towers to try and defend themselves against.

Minions would have to be immune to abilities and summoners to prevent it from being too easy and you'd be able to upgrade or repair your tower with gold you win as funding for each of your waves. The summoner spell "Garrison" could be used in this game-type to do an emergency tower heal for when you have no gold to repair... Or are just too lazy.

Basically I just wanted to put this out here and discuss this with you guys, and maybe get some of Riot's attention. A few other friends really love the idea of this. :D

{quoted} Minions would have to be immune to abilities and summoners

Then what would you do in such mode? Press A, click, stand and watch?

I feel that it would need some form of heavy variety each game or the same champions and build would just be used over and over, in normals, different champion matchups and player skill make it unpredictable.

And the way I imagine this, the minions / monsters ignore everything except the tower and go straight for it? It would be dominated by high dps squishy champions, lots of champions wouldn't even be viable with useless abilities that cant touch minions.

Minions / monster would need some advanced AI, they would need to do mixed damage types, and lots of champion abilities would need tweaking so it would be helpful on this map, but still I think it would be dominated by the same few champions for just quick and easy IP or something.
