Feature Game Mode: Luck of the Draw

Mythic Werewolf · 2015-03-26T10:55:18.440Z

LUCK OF THE DRAW A gametype inspired by the theoretical situation in which Twisted Fate somehow becomes a far more powerful mage and begins to manipulate the League of Legends system in the only way he see's fair, adding an element of luck. The Details: You receive a random champion You are assigned random summoner spells You are assigned random runes and masteries (maybe not this one) The Real Twist: You cannot access the shop at all in the game. Instead you will receive one random complete item upon starting the game. example build at start: After 3 minutes you will receive a second item slot. Your first starting item is re-rolled. Meaning you now have two (possibly) unique items at 3 minutes. example build at 3 minutes: After this you will receive another item slot every two (2) minutes ALONG WITH A COMPLETE RANDOMISATION OF YOUR INVENTORY until you have a complete inventory at 11 minutes. example build at 5 minutes: example build at 7 minutes: example build at 9 minutes: example build at 11 minutes: Once you have a complete build it will be COMPLETELY RANDOMIZED every three (3) minutes, until the completion of the game. Dying will not reset your build (yet). "Just the luck of the draw." Thoughts?

LUCK OF THE DRAW

A gametype inspired by the theoretical situation in which Twisted Fate somehow becomes a far more powerful mage and begins to manipulate the League of Legends system in the only way he see's fair, adding an element of luck.

The Details:

You receive a random champion
You are assigned random summoner spells
You are assigned random runes and masteries (maybe not this one)

The Real Twist:

You cannot access the shop at all in the game. Instead you will receive one random complete item upon starting the game.

example build at start:

After 3 minutes you will receive a second item slot. Your first starting item is re-rolled. Meaning you now have two (possibly) unique items at 3 minutes.

example build at 3 minutes:

After this you will receive another item slot every two (2) minutes ALONG WITH A COMPLETE RANDOMISATION OF YOUR INVENTORY until you have a complete inventory at 11 minutes.

example build at 5 minutes:
example build at 7 minutes:
example build at 9 minutes:
example build at 11 minutes:

Once you have a complete build it will be COMPLETELY RANDOMIZED every three (3) minutes, until the completion of the game. Dying will not reset your build (yet).

"Just the luck of the draw."

Thoughts?

That would be the funniest shit ever. You'd be awfully pissed though when the champ you get receives a troll build but your opponent is suddenly op with some viable shit. Still an awesome idea though.

Actually your reason is why it's bad. In some cases you will lose cause your build does not make sense. Like full ap on draven

If the idea has major flaws like the one mentioned it's not a good a idea. It's called a bad idea. Why are u saying something is gOod when u pointed out it's obvious flaw

You think the fact that Nemesis Draft was so hated by the community that there were multiple rage postings about it on boards meant it was a good idea? The game mode promoted trolling your team or the enemy team but I still enjoyed it because it was something different. I had team comps that should have never worked against viable meta comps yet still managed to win the games because I had fun with it. Get over yourself dude, the game mode was literally conceived to be a purely luck based system and if Riot were to go with this idea you don't have to play it if you don't want to.

Nemesis did not take away in game choices. This is the biggest difference.

Angry MonsterMar 26, 20151 votes

hate it. So your character could be totally ineffective cause of pure luck. Thankfully riot will never do.

Game modes like this are meant to be fun and trollish to begin with, much like Nemesis Draft was. It's a game mode for fun, not for fucking ranked points or anything. Take that stick out of your ass and I'm sure your opinions will take a turn for the better in the future.

K scrub.

Sry that I do not want pure chance screwing me over.

I actually thought Nemesis was a really interesting mode, between being able to "counter pick" to some extent, and being forced to make do with whatever the enemy team decided to give you. (AD Nami Jungle OP.)

This is not a very compelling idea IMO. You'd win or lose by sheer luck, which is neither fun nor interesting. Especially with things shifting every few minutes -- you could dominate for most of the match and then get screwed after 30+ minutes because your comp suddenly got gutted and the enemy was handed amazing items.

Making the most of random champion and summoner spell picks I can see, but itemization is too important to gameplay to mess with on top of all that. Nemesis could be fun because you had to try and make the most of a bad teamcomp or bring out non-meta picks to adapt to the situation. This idea doesn't let you do that. It makes attempting any kind of strategy almost impossible because you don't even know who your ADC (or whatever) is going to be by the time you've walked halfway across the map.

Maybe this could work somewhat on Howling Abyss, but not on any map requiring more coordination than "do we engage right now?" Even that would be a stretch.
