Black Market Brawlers in the Featured Game Mode Cycle

Personally I would love to see BMB be put into the returning cycle with Urf, Hexakill, and One For All. I really enjoy it. A lot of the items in are really cool (Discount Feral Flare Udyr, Puppeteer Nunu.) The different brawlers make for more interesting team comps and more strategy when turtling.

I do have one problem though. When someone DC's at the start of a SR game and doesn't come back, it is still quite possible to win. However when the same thing happens in BMB you aren't just down a player, you are also down a Brawler, making it extremely difficult to manage a pushing lane, and making it nigh impossible to stop a siege once it starts.

I propose a solution, should they put BMB into the cycle. Give every champ an AI to tell them what Brawler to buy and to buy/upgrade it as soon as they have the sufficient krakens. Or if they have already bought one before DC'ing it tells them to upgrade it. Similar to how a bot works when it builds items.

Perhaps there are better ways to fix this imbalance, but that is the best way that I can think of.

Thoughts? Comments? Would you guys like to see BMB come back sometime in the featured game mode cycle?

I think it should be a permanent game mode option. The other three modes you mentioned are fun because they impose a ridiculous concept taken to the extreme. But BMB is strategy. Manipulation of the minions has real implications that determine game play. I think it should be kept permanent and tinkered with as we do with runes, masteries, and the jungle.
